Thanks for sharing your experiences Bill.

Izotope RX 4 Advanced costs $1199.00. How can it be worth that much money?
 
I keep thinking I want it for the occasional clean up job, but I have a hard time justifying spending so much money for the infrequent use I expect I will make of it?
 
What does Izotope RX 4 Advanced do that is so special
 
 
 
 
 

 
  It will drain your bank account if you buy it.

Just some ridiculous suggestions.

If you have the original drum track you could try putting it out of phase and wipe the drums.

Long shot, if it's a synth and you have the original samples or synth you could try triggering the drum samples on the track, reverse the phase and see if wipes them. You may need to bounce down and do some offsetting.

You would need to be careful with volume levels.

You can then add new drum sounds with a trigger from the old track.

I think that iZotope is aiming it at restorationists, forensic analysts, obsessive audio software purchasers and people who can afford a Rolex - with this being their bread & butter application. Theys just*gotsta* pay! For the rest of us, the economic value of the additional features just isn't apparent.

Again...if you make your money doing audio forensics, restoration and repair then Advanced is both worth every penny AND tax deductable. If not...you don't need it.

Thanks for that, but that's not going to work for me, but it did give me a great idea. I took a 20 second part from the wav, imported it in Sonar, and opened Melodyne in polyphonic mode. I was able to locate the snare. I clicked on one snare hit, and then selected all the same notes in the drop down window. With all the snare notes highlighted, I selected the amplitude tool, and brought the snare hits down. That worked, but I figured out, it was the snare sound itself that I hated, so I brought the snare hits down way low, and I'm fooling around with replacing the snare.

Brilliant.........That sounds like a great work flow for removing snare and kick from drum overheads when using drum replacement i.e. Slate Digital Trigger. I must be gonna try it out!! Thanks.

This is getting o.t. but you could copy the selected snare notes to create a separate snare track and use that to trigger samples or even delete everything but the selected snare notes.
