iZotope RX 8 Advanced

iZotope RX 8 Advanced is a previous version of iZotope’s audio repair suite, from 2020; the current version is iZotope RX 12 Advanced. It gives you a standalone spectral audio editor with over 40 repair and editing modules and nearly 20 plug-ins, for dialogue, music and post-production clean-up. It runs on Windows 8 or 10 and on macOS 10.14 Mojave to macOS 11 Big Sur; on Apple silicon Macs it runs in Rosetta only.

iZotope RX 8 is a previous version

Its latest version is 8.7.0. RX 8 was followed by RX 9, RX 10, RX 11 and the current RX 12. For RX 8 Advanced, macOS 11 Big Sur is the last supported macOS and there is no native Apple silicon build, so on a newer Mac choose RX 12.
