If you own RX Advanced, the Photon: Crossgrade Black Friday deal takes 50% off iZotope Photon, bringing it to $49 until Dec 7, 2026.
You can run Photon on its own or load it inside a DAW through ARA, and it uses AI to split recordings into stems and to improve audio quality. It runs 12 machine learning models, trained on iZotope's own real-world audio data, and processes everything locally on your GPU.
The maker says that means no uploads, no cutoffs and no interruptions.
Photon splits a finished file into editable elements, cleans up noisy recordings and brings buried speech forward. Four jobs cover most of it:
The workflow is built around a few moves. Set the strength, click anywhere in the clip, and hear the result right away.
The demix side has six models:
You drop in any audio or video file, so there is no need to open a session first. You can preview from anywhere in the track before you export.
Photon has Denoise models matched to where the recording was made. Indoor (Fast) handles room noise and echo. Indoor Noisy (Fast) covers busier rooms such as factory floors and event halls.
Outdoor (Fast) handles general outdoor noise. Outdoor Traffic (Fast) is trained on traffic and urban noise. Outdoor Wind (Fast) is built for heavy wind, not just a light breeze.
Voice Restore handles speech, noise, levels, mic tone and echo in one model. The maker says the models find and fix the problem while balancing levels and vocal clarity.
With the Photon ARA plugin, the complete engine runs right inside your DAW arrangement. Because the host passes over the whole audio file instead of small live chunks, the processing can take in everything about the material at once.
You can run several models together. Each clip keeps its rendered output in a shared processed cache, which lets you flip between versions and audition them side by side with no delay.
The maker lists Pro Tools, Sequoia, Samplitude, REAPER, Cubase and other ARA2 hosts.
New and upgraded models arrive through the Model Manager, and you can try them on your current project without reinstalling.
Photon is the first joint research effort from iZotope and Boris FX, and continues the development of SoundApp.
This is a crossgrade, so it is for owners of RX Advanced.
Yes. The Photon: Crossgrade Black Friday deal takes 50% off, bringing the price to $49, and it ends Dec 7, 2026. It is a crossgrade, so it is meant for owners of iZotope RX Advanced.
Photon runs on its own or inside a host as an ARA plugin, and it uses AI to pull apart the stems in a mix while also cleaning up and improving the audio. It splits stems, separates up to 6 speakers, removes noise such as echo, wind and traffic, and restores muffled or distant speech.
Yes, through the Photon ARA plugin, which brings the full engine to your timeline. The maker lists Pro Tools, Sequoia, Samplitude, REAPER, Cubase and other ARA2 hosts. You can run several models together.
No. The maker says Photon runs locally on your GPU, with no uploads, no cutoffs and no interruptions. Its 12 machine learning models run on your own machine.
