RX 6 introduces the new De-Bleed module, which reduces the leakage of one signal into another, such as when vocals bleed into a guitar microphone, or when a click track fed into headphones bleeds into an open mic.

For example, in the recording I’m about to play, we’re going to hear a male vocal that has a faint clicking sound on it. Let’s see if you can hear it.

That ticking sound that we hear is the click track in the singer’s headphones bleeding into the microphone into which he’s singing. Let’s attenuate it using the new De-Bleed module.

Once I have the De-Bleed module open, I want to make sure that my active track, which is the one with the vocals and the bleed is checked here, and I want to make sure that my source track, which is the one with the click on it in my second tab here…

Is selected in the bleed source track dropdown menu. Now, I’ll press learn. And now, I’ll press process. Now let’s hear the results that the De-Bleed module has had on our track.

For context, here’s before.

And here’s after we used De-Bleed to attenuate those clicks.
