The Incredible Burning Man
In 1981, alongside fellow effects veteran Mark Mangini, sound designer Richard L. Anderson lit himself on fire while recording effects for Oscar-winning film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Thirty-six years later, Pro Sound Effects tidied up this hot take (recorded while working on the bar scene, if you’re curious) with RX for use in their unrivaled Odyssey Collection—over 100,000 sounds from the personal libraries of Mark Mangini and Richard L. Anderson.
“Mangini was interested in passing on his iconic sounds to be used in an entirely new generation of media, so pairing Pro Sound Effects with Mangini was only natural,” says David Forshee, product manager and head of library development at Pro Sound Effects.

For The Odyssey Collection: Design Elements library included in RX Post Production Suite 4, Forshee and his editors curated and hand-picked some of the best hidden gems and useful effects from the wider Odyssey Collection. The end result is a well-rounded 258 sound effects library of expertly created sounds. “There are elemental building blocks included that can be used in all kinds of projects, whether it’s a movie trailer or a TV show. The use cases are endless.”
We spoke more with Forshee about the provenance of The Odyssey Collection: Design Elements, the stories the effects have told, and those they have yet to tell.

Historically, Post Production Suite has always been one of iZotope’s—and the entire audio production industry’s—most robust and capable software bundles. With the release of version 4, we’ve added even more powerful tools for mixing, mastering, and repairing audio for use in both music and post production.
RX Post Production Suite sees a major upgrade in version 4. With powerful new dialogue, mixing, and reverb tools joining the ranks of iZotope’s proven audio repair, metering, and loudness compliance software, you’ll be ready for any post-production job.
Let’s go over the exciting new players in Post Production Suite 4 and show you how they provide a unified, cohesive workflow.
Assistive audio tech for post
The star of Post Production Suite continues to be RX Advanced. RX has long been considered the industry leader in audio repair and post production, and if you’ve used a previous version or the latest RX 7, it’s safe to say you probably already know why. In addition to a powerful standalone audio editor app, RX 7 Advanced includes dozens of module plug-ins that fit into a variety of DAW configurations and workflows.

In addition to carrying on its predecessors’ legacy of superb audio quality and processing power, RX 7 Advanced introduces powerful new assistive features to help you get more work done in less time.
Repair
Izotope Rx Elements
The all-new Repair Assistant automatically detects noise, clipping, clicks, and other common audio ailments and suggests a custom module chain to correct these issues.
Rebalance
Music Rebalance uses source separation technology to let you adjust the levels of individual musical elements—vocals, bass, percussion, and other—in a stereo mix without needing individual stems.
Dialogue processing
We’ve also added compelling new modules for dialogue processing, including Dialogue Contour: a tool for quickly changing the intonation of a dialogue or vocal performance, and Dialogue De-reverb: a module that attenuates distracting reflections around the human voice to provide more focused, intelligible speech.
