iZotope Connect Nuendo 14 - IZotope RX 11

Nuendo

Looks like there has been a few variations of this over the years but just want to flag it for Nuendo 14 and iZotope RX 11 as still an issue because its driving me slightly nuts.

Ive reported this to IZotope/Native instruments as well.

It seems to only happen to me on the Mac. (I bounce between Windows at the studio and Mac at home.) But I was having this issue before Tahoe.

iZotope Connect is only works half the time for me at the moment. Sometimes it won’t open iZotope, sometimes it does but then when I send back to Nuendo that doesnt work. Sometimes it works fine.

I think there was some way of “clearing the cache” on iZotopes end that solved it but that only seems to be a temporary fix. (Will try that now and report back.)

Hope that all makes sense! I feel like it’s probably an issue on iZotopes end but reporting just incase.

Follow up. Deleting the “RX 11 Audio Editor Session Data” Folders seems to helps. Ive wrote a wee apple script do to this quickly. Run this code in Script Editor.app to try it out.

--Quick and Dirty Solution to a issue effecting iZotope 11 and Nuendo 14 on the Mac use at your own risk!

set userHome to (path to home folder as text)
set folderPath to userHome & "Library:Application Support:iZotope:RX 11 Audio Editor Session Data"

tell application "Finder"
	try
		if exists folder folderPath then
			delete folder folderPath
			display notification "The RX 11 Session Data folder was removed."
		else
			display notification "The RX 11 Session Data folder has already been removed"
			
		end if
	on error errMsg
		display dialog errMsg
	end try
end tell

If other folks are having this issue can package this up as a standalone Application when I get a sec.

Fingers crossed for getting this fixed, gave spectral layers a shot and its also a good alternative but not quite up to par with iZotope yet for me.

I have set RX11 aside because of this problem, same thing happened with RX9 and RX10 came out. If you create that app I’d be very appreciative!

I use Spectralayers Pro as well and find it’s capabilities to be much better than RX.

Didn’t realise the issue went back that far! Link to the app below.

RX Cache Cleaner App

Very lightly tested (not tried it on another computer or anything) but it’s signed with my developer ID ect so it should work in theory! Let me know if it doesn’t.

Ive been keeping it in my dock and opening the app to clear the folders whenever the issue crops up.

Edit

I forgot about Notarising the app to stop apples stupid scary pop ups when launching. :person_facepalming:. I didnt make it in Xcode so will have to find another way get it notarised. Thats a project for another day though :laughing:

You can bypass it in system settings if your determined to try it in the mean time though. (Or just run the source code in script editor.app)

It is indeed very good. Report from NAAM hints at Izotope facing Insolvency and RX 12 may be the last version. Though I still like its declick and other older stuff that I use routinely unfortunately they lost the AI race to Spectralayers.

Interesting! And I agree, Izotope DeClick and especially Mouth DeClick are damn good and the one area that they continue to beat Spectralayers in.

Wow I didn’t realize how bad of shape NI was in. Private equity strikes again…

Production Expert has a post about this today.

:cry: damn. Hopefully izotope gets saved somehow. I had a bad feeling about native instruments purchasing them but didn’t think it would be that bad!

Will probably bite the bullet and buy spectral layers as an escape raft :melting_face: maybe I just need to get used to it after all these years of using izotope.
