I could just use one of the compressors included with Audition and sometimes I do. Once I've run the clip through the phase rotator, I'm all set to use a compressor to manage the transient peaks - the peaks that stick out well above the body of the waveform. RX4s Channel Ops module has a phase rotation option that fixes this quickly and easily without messing with the quality of the audio. So you can't get all the loudness you may want. And this is problematic when you want to loudness normalize because you can only increase the amplitude so much before that one side is close to the 0dB limit. The peaks on one side are closer to 0dB than on the other. And it generally only occurs with male voice.ДЄsymmetric waveforms are really only a problem because they rob you of headroom. By itself, this is not really a problem and it sounds just fine. Yes, Audition has a good de-noise plugin as well but it isn't as quick and easy.ДЄsymmetric waveforms are the next problem I address and this is one that Audition doesn't have a solution for, at least not in its included effects.ДЄsymmetricВ waveforms have more amplitude (are bigger) above the - infinity center line than below. If the clip is particularly noisy, I may do a second pass. The dialogue denoiser is usually my go-to tool for this - only two settings to bother with and I often leave the threshold at its default and decrease the Reduction setting to about 5. I like to keep it pretty light so that the audio doesn't start sounding robotic or evil which is often what happens when applied too aggressively. The first thing I'll typically do, if the particular clip needs it, is noise reduction. RX4 has some things that Audition doesn't have that I find important, maybe even critical to my workflow. By heavy lifting, I mean noise reduction, compression, and loudness normalizing. I still use Audition as my digital audio workstation app, the hub if you will, but much of the heavy lifting is done by RX and Ozone. And on that mission, I've found myself using Izotope RX4 Advanced and Ozone 6 more and more often. As you probably already know, I'm on a mission to learn the fine art of dialogue audio post processing.
