12 F A L L 2 0 1 5 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y Next: Corrective EQ. This is an im- provement over the parametric EQ in RX4 and earlier versions. Now, there are six bands of parametric EQ plus high- and low-pass filters and shelving for ev- ery band. The interface is great looking, too. The Leveler looks to have been re- vamped, with optimization for dialogue or music—with controls like "target level," "breath control," and "Ess reduction" (yes, a De-esser), included. The Ambient Match module has some new presets, replacing the three noise profiles in RX4 with "Brown Noise," "Airplane," "Calm City," "Heavy City," "Backyard For- est," and "Indoor." Batch Processing moves to the WINDOW menu, from the FILE menu in prior ver- sions There's a Signal Generator module in RX5, also. It will make sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square waves. You can set it up to slide from one frequency to another over a set time period, fade, and modulate by X% at any audible frequency rate. You can mix it with the current selection, replace the selec- tion, or insert at any point in the waveform. There are also several flavors of white, pink, and brown noise generators, too. I think it's safe to say that the drive to make a better product is behind some of the improvements—and customer input has helped to shape that. Shh … I think some- one is listening! •
