    Which plugin is better

    iZotope - RX 10 vs CyberLink - AudioDirector Ultra v13

    I see the new features in AudioDirector:

    DeReverb - demo sounds good
    Vocals extracting - before I did it via AI sites

    So, share your experience

    I haven't used AD Ultra 13, didn't even know it existed until just now.
    What I know for sure is that RX10 doesn't have the cleanest stem separation at all, by todays standard.
    Using demucs or UVR (Ultimate Vocal Remover) v5 for that matter will already give you better results than that.
    Also, you have different models available so you are a bit more flexible in choosing what works best.

    To be fair, I assume that AD Ultra probably won't be much better sounding than current demucs models, perhaps it uses those or something along the lines of Spleeter (which Spectralayers seems to do, judging by the audio quality).

    I hope that helps.

    RipX is cleaner than RX demixing, but it is slower processing. Acon Digital Restoration Suite does all these smaller tasks nicely.

    Even if one feature is better than RX, it does not make the software better. Especially RX10, it has so many features. This program being compared is not ARA2.

    Let some Youtubers waste their time doing "shootout" videos. This program does not have a hope in hell of being a better product than RX.

    Demo samples sound good (at the first glance), but it's beta, while AudioDirector is a full version

    didn't find any mention of dereverb there, also it doesn't compatible with my hardware, so, the only option remained is AD

    It works flawlessly. Don't let the beta tag prevent you from enjoying a great plugin. Besides, it's great at enhancing ambience sounds, like for a piano or drum overheads.
