Tip: Create a new file from the contents of the clipboard
If you have existing audio data in your clipboard (for example, if you have copied a selection from an existing file in RX), you can create a new file based on that audio data.
- Open the “File” menu, choose “New from Clipboard” or use the keyboard shortcut: Command+Shift+N (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows)
The new file will match the sample rate and channel count of the audio data present on your clipboard.
Importing Files
There are four ways to import a file into the RX 6 Audio Editor:
- From the File menu, select Open… and select the files you want to open.
- Drag and drop a file from your operating system into the RX UI.
- Drag a file from Finder/Explorer to the RX icon in the Dock/Desktop.
- Double-click on the RX logo in the middle of the RX Audio Editor interface when no files are loaded in the application
Managing File Tabs
RX supports having up to 16 files open at once.
You can navigate between tabs by clicking on a tab or using the following keyboard shortcuts:
Action | Mac Keyboard Shortcut | Windows Keyboard Shortcut |
---|---|---|
Select File Tab to the right of the current selected tab | Control+Tab | Alt+Tab |
Select File Tab to the left of the current selected tab | Control+Shift+Tab | Alt+Shift+Tab |
- If you right click on a file tab, you can access options for closing tabs.
- If you have multiple files open, an arrow button will appear to the right of the last visible tab. You can access file tabs that are not currently visible by clicking on the arrow button and selecting a tab from the menu.
Saving Files
There are a number of ways to save a file in RX 6 Audio Editor. The Save Operations include:
Name | Description | Default Mac Shortcut | Default Windows Shortcut |
---|---|---|---|
Save | For uncompressed file formats (.wav or .aiff): Overwrites the original file on disk | Command+S | Ctrl+S |
For compressed file formats: Opens the Export File dialog | Command+S | Ctrl+S | |
Save As… | For uncompressed file formats (.wav or .aiff): Save a copy of your file using the same file format | Command+Shift+S | Ctrl+Shift+S |
For compressed file formats: Opens the Export File dialog | Command+Shift+S | Ctrl+Shift+S | |
Save RX Document | Saves file as .rxdoc file extension (more information below) | ||
Save RX Document As… | Saves copy of your .rxdoc file |
Autosave
The RX Audio Editor will automatically save backups of your editing session by default. When the RX application is launched, it will open your most recent editing session. The option to turn it off is located under the Preferences > Misc tab as “Resume last editing session when app starts.”
Saving RX Documents
You can save a file using the RX Document file format (.rxdoc) to archive your edits. An RX Document includes your original file, all the edits you’ve made to it, and your most recent selection and view state. RX Documents can only be opened in the RX Audio Editor. If you need to save your file so it can be opened somewhere else (like a DAW or media player), you need to export it in another format (like WAV or AIFF).
To save an RX Document, select File > Save RX Document… and select where you would like to store the file.
Keep in mind that the size of the RX Document file can be very large, especially if your list of edits include multiple processes on the whole file.
Export Options
When exporting, you will be able to define the output file name, directory, and bit depth. There are four ways you can export a file in RX 6 Audio Editor:
- Export File
- Export Selection
- Export Regions to Files
- Export Screenshot
- Export History as XML
Export File
- Select File… > Export
- Select the file format you want to Export to and adjust the associated settings as desired (available settings explained in the table below)
- Click “OK”
- In the system window, name your file and choose where you would like to save it to
- Click “Save” to export your file
Tip
- Checking the Reopen file in RX checkbox will open your exported file in the RX 6 Audio Editor after the export completes successfully
Export Format Options
RX 6 offers the folowing file type options for export:
- WAV
- AIFF
- FLAC
- OGG VORBIS
- MP3 [STD & ADV]
The following tables outline the export options for the different file formats.
Uncompressed Export File Formats
Uncompressed Format | Bit Depth | Dither | BWF | Preserve non-audio data |
---|---|---|---|---|
WAV | 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (float), 32 bit (int) | None, White Noise (TPDF), Noise shaping (MBIT+) | Outputs a broadcast wave format file | Exported file retains the metadata of the original file |
AIFF | 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (float), 32 bit (int) | None, White Noise (TPDF), Noise shaping (MBIT+) | n/a | Exported file retains the metadata of the original file |
Compressed Export File Formats
LOSSLESS COMPRESSION
Format | Bit Depth | Dither | Compression Level |
---|---|---|---|
FLAC | 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit | None, White Noise (TPDF), Noise shaping (MBIT+) | Adjusts the compression strength of the FLAC encoder. Stronger compression requires more CPU time during file encoding but results in a slightly smaller file. FLAC compression setting does not result in any quality change to the signal since FLAC is a lossless format. |
LOSSY COMPRESSION
Format | Quality | Mode | Bit Rate |
---|---|---|---|
OGG | Adjusts the bitrate of the Vorbis compression algorithm. Higher bitrate values result in higher audio quality, but also increase the file size | n/a | n/a |
MP3 [STD & ADV] | n/a | Controls how (or if) bit rate varies over time. Constant bit rate (CBR), Average bit rate (ABR), Variable bit rate (VBR) | Adjusts the bit rate of the MP3 compression algorithm. Higher bit rates result in higher quality audio but will increase the file size |
Export Selection
This option will allow you to export only the audio that is contained within your current selection, as opposed to the entire audio file.

Closing files
Izotope Rx Mono To Stereo
There are two ways to close a file:
- Close: if you close a file that has uncommitted changes (represented by a dot or asterisk next to the file name in the tab display), RX will ask you if you want to save the file. RX does not ask about saving files when the application is closed because your changes are retained in its session data.
- Close All: if you have any uncommitted changes in open files, RX will prompt you to save for every unsaved file.
The default keyboard shortcuts for closing files are:
Action | Mac Keyboard Shortcut | Windows Keyboard Shortcut |
---|---|---|
Close the current file tab | Command+W | Ctrl+W |
Closes all file tabs | Command+Shift+W | Ctrl+Shift+W |
Overview
The Center Extract module preserves (using Keep Center) or removes (using Keep Sides) the center channel of a stereo file. Extracting the center will retain the center of a stereo field and attenuate everything on the sides, such as signals panned to the left or right. See the Examples & Use Cases section below for more contextual examples and additional information about Center Extract processing.
Controls
- KEEP CENTER: When the signal you want to preserve is even in both channels and noise is uneven between channels, extracting the center can remove a lot of noise.
- KEEP SIDES: If you want to preserve the wide stereo information and remove the center information, you can keep the sides of the signal instead.
- ALGORITHM: Two different algorithms are available:
- TRUE PHASE: Cancels the center with phase information and retains the original panning of the sides.
- PSEUDO PAN: Extracts the side information and artificially stereo-izes it into two channels.
- TRUE PHASE: Cancels the center with phase information and retains the original panning of the sides.
- ALGORITHM: Two different algorithms are available:
- REDUCTION STRENGTH: Controls the level of the preserved signal. Lower values will retain more information, higher values will discard more information.
- ARTIFACT SMOOTHING: Helps to reduce or eliminate the “musical noise” that is often characteristic of FFT-based processing. Musical noise can be described as how something may sound underwater. Increase this slider if your output sounds watery, but decrease it when too much smoothing makes your audio sound dull.What is an FFT?
- Fast Fourier Transform: a procedure for the calculation of a signal frequency spectrum. The greater the FFT size, the greater the frequency resolution, i.e., notes and tonal events will be clearer at larger sizes. However, when using FFT-based processing, the more audio you remove from your source, the more likely you are to create undesirable artifacts.

- DRY MIX [%]: Controls the amount of unprocessed signal mixed into the processed signal. Useful for reducing artifacts introduced by processing by preserving the original characterisitics of your audio.
More Information
Tip: Use Azimuth before Center Extract for best results
It is often a good idea to make sure stereo channels are balanced by running Azimuth correction before using Center Extract.
Notes on Center Extract Availability
- Center Extract is not available when Composite View is active.
- Center Extract processing is not available on mono files. The nature of Center Extract processing makes it unapplicable to mono files because they lack stereo field information.
Use Cases
Izotope Rx In Mono County
Using Center Extract as an alternative to Mid-Side Encoding |
---|
Center channel extraction will preserve a stereo image if the side channels are retained. This can make it more desirable in some cases than Mid-Side encoding (which would sum left and right hard pans into one channel). |
Use Keep Center to Reduce noise in stereo files transferred from a mono source |
---|
A mono record transferred to a stereo tape would have side channel noise that would be suppressed by extracting the center channel using Keep Center. |
Use Keep Sides to Remove vocals from a stereo recording |
---|
The lead vocal track, in many popular mixes, is typically panned to the center of the mix. Panning something to the center results in equal information being present in the side (Left and Right) channels. |
Using the “Keep Sides” processing mode will retain the unique side channel information present in a file, and reduce the Center channel. |
This is useful for karaoke-style removal of vocals from a song, especially because the process results in a coherent stereo image. |
