In this video I go over how iZotope RX's function 'Find Similar Event' can be used to automatically select similar sounds in your audio file for easy batch processing. Huge time saver for removing unwanted sounds in sound effects mastering.
I used iZotope RX 9 Advanced in this demonstration.
It should be mentioned that this technique works well on bird chirps with a limited frequency range like in this example. Crows are another whole beast that eat up a larger frequency range, so, don't be dismayed if you can't clean up all birds using this technique alone. Also, larger groups of birds with a constant bed of chirping will likely be impervious to this technique; it works better on single calls. If time permits, always try to find another time/location with fewer birds around for a better recording to begin with!
Please drop me a comment if you have any questions or requests for future videos, or general feedback on how to improve future tutorials like these (this is only my second one and I'd like them to be easy to understand and learn from).
Cheers
Mike
