WallyG, you've convinced me that Cakewalk needs to bundle RX4 Advanced in Sonar X4. I mean, they both have "X4" in them, so it must be fate, right? ...Right? :D

I just did the update to RX4 Adv as I jumped from RX 2 I thought it was worth the price.

I also use RX3 Advanced - and mostly from Sonar's "Utility" menu.
I love it when it works, but lately I've had driver sharing issues and RX crashes...

RX2 Advanced worked much better in Sonar X2.
(Sony's Sound Forge Pro 11 works like a dream, but is far from RX3 Advanced.)

iZotope's tech support could not get RX working from Sonar's Utility menu at all... even with Scott's (DigiFreq's) instructions I sent.

Thanks for the heads-up on RX Connect -
A few seconds definitely won't cut it, so no sense in upgrading to 4-Advanced.

Since complete file transfers out from and back to DAW projects is one of the most important features, maybe iZotope will
improve Connect in version 5 Advanced...

I would recommend that anyone interested in this try the demo for themselves. It's easy to install and use.
 
I disagree that RX Connect only permits processing a few seconds of audio. I just installed the RX4 Advanced demo and passed a single clip that is over an hour and a half in length from SONAR X3 to the RX4 standalone through RX Connect and back again. It worked well. Perhaps those who had trouble with it clicked the Audition button on the RX Connect dialog which does only process a few seconds of audio. Here is a link from iZotope's support center describing how to use RX Connect with SONAR X2/X3:

I have RX3 but I've never tried using it via SONAR's Utility menu, so I can't comment on workflow distinctions. I'm only posting to say that RX Connect worked well for me.

Thank you for the clarification Don.
 
'may have to rethink the upgrade!

Greetings all,
Don's link leads to this:
(Take note of the "NOTE")

"To edit audio from Cakewalk Sonar X2 / X3 in RX 4:
Right-click the clip you wish to edit in RX and select “Process Effect > Audio Effects” from the right-click menu.
Select RX 4 Connect in SONAR’s plug-in browser.
When the RX Connect plug-in window appears, select either “Reference” or “Repair” and click “OK” to send the clip to RX 4.
NOTE: Do not click the Audition button, as this will send only a portion of the clip to RX 4.
Once you are done editing in RX 4, click the “Send Back” option on the file tab.
Repeat step’s 1-3. This time when you click OK in the RX Connect plug-in window, the repaired audio will replace the original audio in SONAR’s timeline."

The Utilities menu option is a lot less step intensive, but as I mentioned - it's been problematic as of late.
...though... I find it odd that issues have arose just as a new version of RX arrives...

Regardless, seemless transfer out to an editor and back again is something I do quite a bit, and worth it's weight in gold,
so I may bite the bullet and get the Advanced upgrade...

I didn't realize I needed to use "Process Effect" to get the RX Connect applet to work properly -- thanks, that did the trick!
