The Audacity De-Clicker vs. The iZotope RX10 Mouth De-Clicker: Which is Better?

In this video I do a head-to-head comparison of the Audacity De-Clicker plugin and the iZotope RX10 Mouth De-Click plugin. The RX10 Mouth De-Clicker plugin can be run in Audacity as a non-destructive, stackable effect. But is it worth it? Watch this short video to see my results.

[@ChubbyAmadeusFan]

I watched your new video on RX10. Thanks so much for producing that. Much appreciated! 👍

[@albowen3828]

Nevermind, I figured it out. I just took advantage of your "March Madness" promo and signed up for the bootcamp. Thank you.

[@LearnAudacity]

Thank you!

[@IamFelix123]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@crazymeowladyElyse]

Are there certain mics that are better than others for people who have alot of mouth clicks? What would you recommend for a budget friendly mic?

[@albowen3828]

Can I download iZotope plugins on Windows? I can't find it in the Plugin Suites section.

[@albowen3828]

Do I need to purchase the izotope plugins for Windows? I downloaded it but it wants me to sign into my account.

[@leonzalirchirl2828]

Can you do a video on how to install iZotope and make it work with audacity and do you think it's good for making clean versions of songs that have already been mixed and make sure you include the iZotope download link

[@LearnAudacity]

Once you install it, the effects will be available in Audacity. You'll just need to enable them there.

[@ChubbyAmadeusFan]

Thanks so much for this great tutorial. I was going to purchase Rx10 but iZotope says it is not compatible with Audacity. And Rx11 is coming out soon. How did you download iZotope Rx10???

[@LearnAudacity]

I bought RX10 a couple of years ago. Its plugins work with Audacity but there are a couple of issues. I hope to do a video on that soon.

[@ChubbyAmadeusFan]

@@LearnAudacity thanks so much for your reply! I look forward to your new video. Thanks so much, in advance.

[@Nalog-xo5qt]

It is compatible . I used it on my Mac . But I used the trial version for 10 days only 😄

[@ChubbyAmadeusFan]

@@Nalog-xo5qt Did it work well without glitches/problems? I only use Windows. Your thoughts on it working with Windows? Thanks for your time.

[@ThorntonNoir]

Sheesh, 106 clicks repaired…👀

[@ahfimiwonawun]

So, do you recommend going about it this way, using both audacity’s declicker AND izotope’s or just izotope alone?

[@LearnAudacity]

I just use iZotope's within Audacity now.

[@ahfimiwonawun]

@@LearnAudacity Thank you.

[@slendersera]

The clicks do sound like an alien talking. Like the ones from Signs. Lol.

[@leonzalirchirl2828]

How can I install the izotope effect in audacity and use it to remove bad words from songs

[@LearnAudacity]

iZotope is a stand-alone program but once it's installed, the plugins can be used in Audacity as well.

[@jenniferwilliams9352]

The audacity de-clicker would not download on my Macbook at all so Im forced to spend $200 for the izotope RX10 but sounds like its better anyway so...

[@leonzalirchirl2828]

How can I avoid audio clipping with songs with vocals by themselves and instrumentals by themselves and mix and rendered without clipping

[@LearnAudacity]

Watch your gain I suppose.
