RX 7 De-plosive
RX 7 De-plosive is a VST audio plugin from iZotope that removes plosive sounds (hard consonants like 'p' and 'b') from vocal recordings and spoken-word audio. It is used by podcast producers, voice-over artists, music producers, and speech engineers who need to clean up recordings without manually editing each problematic sound. The plugin analyzes the audio in real time and applies selective de-essing and dynamic filtering to reduce plosive artifacts while preserving the natural quality of the voice. RX 7 De-plosive is part of iZotope's RX 7 suite and is installed and updated through the iZotope Product Portal.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRX 7 De-plosive is a VST plugin and is not a standalone application — it runs inside a compatible digital audio workstation (DAW) such as Studio One, Reaper, Cubase, Ableton Live or similar. The plugin is updated through iZotope's own Product Portal (or the iZotope installer that comes with RX 7), not through the host DAW. To ensure you have a native Apple Silicon build, download and run the latest iZotope installer from the iZotope website, which will automatically serve the correct native binary for your Mac's architecture. iZotope shipping native Apple Silicon builds for audio plugins as of RX 9 (released in 2021), so RX 7 De-plosive should be available in a native-compatible form through the Product Portal. If you are still running an Intel-only version under Rosetta, reinstalling via the iZotope Product Portal will give you the native build. Make sure your host DAW is also running natively on Apple Silicon — a native plugin inside an Intel DAW will often run under translation anyway, negating performance gains.
