The Izotope RX De-click and Mouth De-click modules/plugins are helpful tools in managing mouth clicks, pops, and saliva noise in spoken word audio. In this episode, we demonstrate where, when, and how to use each of them.
The De-click plugin is available in RX Elements, Standard, and Advanced while the Mouth De-click plugin is only available in the Standard and Advanced versions of RX.
Mouth De-click is generally less aggressive and can be used to remove saliva noise and clicks within dialogue audio. The De-Click plugin is more aggressive and I usually only use it when I can select just the mouth click I want to remove.
Special thanks to Paul Figgiani who provided valuable insights on how best to use the De-click and Mouth De-click plugins. Paul shares insightful information on spoken word audio post processing over at Produce New Media.
