I use spectral repair almost every day for sound design and cleaning up recordings. One draw back is the time it takes to audition and tweak values in the different algorithms. I found a very fast workflow to compare between the four algorithms with my typical settings. Then, after picking the best algorithm I can load up that preset, try a few other options within that setting, and dial it in further. Finally, I tweak to get the best outcome and move on.
This is very helpful because it quickly helps show the best algorithm in a shootout without losing track of each setting in the spectral repair module. I've found it's often Pattern or Partials + Noise that wins, but I'm also often surprised at how randomly each one wins these shootouts.
I hope this helps you speed up your workflows. I have request Izotope to build in a button to "quickly compare" your favorite presets. If you find this tutorial useful, please let Izotope know so they can build this functionality into the tool in an even faster way!
