The Interface
The interface features a list of presets of which 31 are All-Purpose Mastering, ranging from Adaptive Dynamics, CD Master, House Warmth, and Transient Tube to name a few. There’s also a folder containing Delivery-Specific Mastering, these presets consist of -0.5 dBTP Lossy Codec Master, -1.0 dBTP MP3 Master, Vinyl Master, and much more. Additionally, there’s a folder containing Genre-Specific Mastering such as Electronic Clarity, Smooth Hip-Hop, Thick Industrial, as well as others. Lastly, there’s a Signature Presets folder containing mastering presets by the renowned American Mastering Engineer, Greg Calbi. There are two Macro Controls for adjusting the EQ and Dynamics Amount via slider controls. The Dynamics adjust the amount of uncompressed (Dry) vs. compressed (Wet) signal in your audio. There’s a limited control Maximizer feature that can be toggled on and off and a set of Peak Level Meters. The Bypass option has an ear icon which is especially useful to automatically match effective gain when bypassed. The History panel is a great feature that lets one return to a previous state prior to changes that were made, essentially, it’s a multi-level undo feature.
The Options panel has tools for toggling meters on & off, tooltips, graphics adjustments, and other useful settings such as “True Peaks” detection. There’s a Social panel for accessing social media content related to Izotope products, YouTube, Izotope videos and Mixing tutorials.

Based on iZotope’s release history, it should be out soon (perhaps by the time you read this review).
Izotope Rx Elements Review Games
All three versions of RX6, including the most affordable Elements edition, now include the stand-alone editing application. Whether you’re a professional working in post-production or a humble home studio user, there’s a version of iZotope’s RX restoration software to.

This makes it quicker to dial in a brief clean-up, but for more heavily soiled audio, the strongest options don’t go far enough.

Nectar Elements uses artificial intelligence to come up with settings based on the sound of your vocal track. Review: iZotope RX.
