I use RX2 extensively in my recording & mastering business & it is an incre=
dibly capable application. It does have a fairly steep learning curve & I s=
uspect you may have to invest more time in it. There are a number of excell=
ent tutorial videos on YouTube as well as an in depth PDF available from iZ=
otope, which go a long way to explaining many of the tweakier aspects of th=
e program. I would suggest that you run it in standalone mode, not as a plu=
gin in a DAW host. Any crashing I've had has been cured by a reboot. There =
are preferences or menu items which expand the graphic resolution of the sp=
ectral display enormously. For the generator noise you may want to run seve=
ral passes through the Denoise, as well as Spectral Repair modes. Don't exp=
ect many pure pitches to be displayed, as internal combustion engines produ=
ce wide bandwidth noise. Some noises simply can't be fixed, they are too pe=
rvasive, but where fixing is possible RX2 is one of the most powerful proce=
ssors available to editors.
