Overview
On Mac, the RX Audio Editor supports the use of VST2 and AudioUnit (AU) plug-ins. On Windows, the RX Audio Editor supports the use of VST2 and DirectX plug-ins. To enable the use of plug-in hosting, choose the Plug-in module from the Module List.
Using 32-bit plug-ins in the RX Audio Editor
To use 32-bit AU, VST2 or DirectX plug-ins in the RX Audio Editor, you must run the 32-bit application.
- On Windows, open the “RX 6 Audio Editor” application from the Start menu or by double-clicking on the Desktop shortcut. Not the “RX 6 Audio Editor (64-bit)” application.
- On Mac, navigate to your Applications folder and find iZotope RX 6 Audio Editor. Right-click on the the application and select “Get Info” and check the “Open in 32-bit mode” option.
- Note: When used as a VST in RX, iZotope Insight’s loudness history does not run during offline processing. You will not see metering details, unless you are using Preview.

Selection Based Processing
With a plug-in loaded in the Plug-in module, you can make use of the same audio selection tools and Preview and Compare options that are available for other RX modules.
This can allow for very detailed processing and greater accuracy when working with your existing plug-ins, giving you audio selection options unavailable in a traditional DAW setup.

Plug-in Presets
Only one plug-in may be loaded at a time. However, with the use of presets, multiple settings and presets may be recalled quickly in order to move between plug-in instances.
When your plug-in is configured the way you would like it, select Add Preset from the small Preset drop down arrow.

Assign Presets to Keyboard Shortcuts

Once your preset is named and saved, you can then assign that plug-in and preset to a keyboard shortcut with the Set Preset Shortcut feature.
This keyboard shortcut will recall not only the plug-in settings, but the plug-in instance itself. As such, if a preset is saved with Plug-in 1, and Plug-in 2 is currently loaded into RX’s plug-in window, pressing the preset keyboard shortcut will re-instantiate Plug-in 1 and recall the exact settings when the preset was made.
This can allow for very quick editing, processing, and recall of plug-in instances and settings, providing a quicker workflow than traditional DAW track/mixer environments.
Cambridge, MA (March 25, 2015) - iZotope, Inc., a leading audio technology company, today announced its new RX Loudness Control plug-in. RX Loudness Control will help audio post production and broadcast professionals automatically and reliably create high-quality, industry-compliant mixes. RX Loudness Control will be unveiled and available for pre-order at NAB 2015 in booth SL4330.
With the widespread adoption of loudness standards worldwide, the responsibility often remains with content creators to ensure that programs are delivered within the appropriate tolerance of the required loudness standard. With RX Loudness Control, video and audio editors can easily choose the broadcast standard they wish to adhere to from a set of global templates. In faster than real time, RX Loudness Control automatically analyzes the audio and renders out a compliant file and an accompanying .CSV-formatted loudness report in just two clicks.
While there are several loudness monitoring and measurement tools on the market, the task of actually bringing the levels into compliance has remained until now a largely manual, time-consuming process. With quick turnaround becoming more and more an accepted norm, the possibility of having a show rejected due to loudness issues has been an ongoing concern. RX Loudness Control takes the guesswork out of conforming to loudness standards regardless of region and editor expertise.
'We're thrilled to offer post and broadcast professionals an automatic loudness correction solution that meets their needs for quality and accuracy,' said Matt Hines, Product Manager at iZotope. 'RX Loudness Control will give users absolute confidence in their work, while being easy to use and compatible with most major audio- and video-editing platforms.'
The intelligent DSP processing inside RX Loudness Control is brand new and was developed specifically to guarantee transparent loudness correction, and to offer loudness tolerance metering across a range of program types. RX Loudness Control supports mono, stereo, and surround channel counts, up to 5.1, for seamless integration into any workflow.

Compatibility
RX Loudness Control supports the Audiosuite DPM and AAX plug-in standard for Avid Media Composer and Pro Tools. RX Loudness Control is also integrated into Adobe Premiere Pro's open extension API, bringing offline loudness-compliant processing to the Adobe platform for the first time ever.
Pricing & Availability
RX Loudness Control is available for pre-order at NAB 2015 for $299 (£205 / €279) (MSRP $349 / €325 / £239), with an expected release in Spring 2015.
