Overview
The RX Connect plug-in sends a clip, or multiple clips, to the RX 7 standalone application for editing and repair. This gives you access to all of RX 7’s modules in one place, and provides the benefits of RX’s offline processing and visual interface. RX Connect is available from the AudioSuite menu in Pro Tools, or as an AU or VST plug-in from your host’s effects menu.

There are two modes for using RX Connect:
- SEND FOR REFERENCE: This is meant for analysis only. The clips are imported into RX 7 but cannot be sent back to your host.
Note about Reference Mode
This mode of RX Connect will not open RX 7 Audio Editor automatically. Opening the Audio Editor after using send for reference will reveal the file in the RX Audio Editor.
- SEND FOR REPAIR: Selected clips are sent to the RX 7 Audio Editor for repair, and you can send them back to your host from the RX Audio Editor.

Host Specific Instructions
The following sections outline host specific instructions for using RX Connect to Send audio to the RX Audio Editor and back to your host application:
Adobe Audition CC RX Connect Workflow
Avid Media Composer RX Connect Workflow
When using Media Composer, there are two separate workflows for using RX Connect depending on whether you are operating in Master Clip mode or Timeline Mode.
Master Clip Workflow
Timeline Workflow
Recommendations
When rendering RX Connect as an AudioSuite effect in Media Composer, the resulting audio will exist in a rendered effect container for the duration of that clip on the timeline. If the clip length is extended beyond those bounds, the rendered effect will become un-rendered, as indicated by a blue dot.
To avoid losing the audio in the rendered effect container, we recommend either:
- Achieve locked picture prior to the audio edit
- Extend the bounds of the clip prior to the audio edit, perform the audio edit with RX Connect, mixdown the clip to a new audio file, and then reduce the bounds back to the original size
- If you make extensive repairs inside of the RX Audio Editor, you can also save an .rxdoc of the file, which will preserve all your adjustments so you can modify them later if you need to.
Monitoring the output of RX Audio Editor
With some audio hardware systems, Media Composer will has control of your audio drivers so that you aren’t able to hear the output of RX.
However, we’ve built the RX Monitor tool to solve just this problem.

Tips
- Some engineers might choose to create duplicate playlists before making any repairs to their audio, but you can ‘undo’ these RX Connect changes just like any AudioSuite process.
- If you make extensive repairs inside of the RX Audio Editor, you can also save an .rxdoc of the file, which will preserve all your adjustments so you can modify them later if you need to.
Audiosuite modes:

When using Audiosuite plug-ins, there are various user definable input and output options, which affect how you may use RX Connect. These options are:
Input
- Clip-by-clip: Recognizes individual clips in the timeline, as well as fades.
- Entire selection: Treats the entire selected area as one clip.
Modes
- Mono mode: Treats mono, dual mono and stereo clips, as well as multi-channel clips, all as discrete mono clips (e.g. a stereo clip will send as two separate mono files).
Mono mode note
Please note, this can result in large groups of audio clips being sent to RX, potentially exceeding the maximum file limit of 16.
- Multi-input mode Treats dual mono and stereo audio clips as one entity.
Output
- Overwrite files Destructive processing of the audio clip(s) in the session, overwriting the original file with the new file sent from RX.
- Create individual files: Nondestructive processing of the audio file(s) in the session, replacing them with the audio processed in RX. This mode preserves individual clips and fades/handles.
- Create continuous files: Nondestructive processing of the original audio file. Creates a new audio file with the audio sent back from RX, consolidated into one continuous clip.
