Right on time:
ut this video shows absolutely nothing. When a teaser for a new Video Game or TV show or Film gets released I get really excited. I just don't have that same level of excitement with plugin teaser videos. It's interesting how this kind of "cinematic" marketing has become a norm for pretty much everything now.
I mean, I don't get excited when a new Claw Hammer is advertised at B&Q. Maybe I should?
I’m one of those who passed on RX7
RX5 to RX6 brought huge improvements.
I have the elements version and IT's one of the best plugins I've ever bought.I have RX7 and it's one of the best plugins I've ever bought.

That video is unlisted. Where did you find out about it? If it's accurate, there isn't a whole lot in RX 8 of interest to film and video sound editors, who are the product's main market. Very odd.
That's Geoff Manchester doing the voice over, who does all the iZotope videos, so there isn't much doubt about the video's authenticity. But sound editors watching this will be saying WTF.
The video also doesn't look to me like a final cut.
Based on the video and what I saw on the site, I’ll likely pass on this version.

That was my initial thought, but my upgrade price from RX6 Advanced to RX8 Advanced is not bad: $300.
Does anyone know what the upgrade price is from RX7 Advanced to RX8 Advanced?
iZotope products traditionally install as separate plug-ins per numerical version, so you should have no problem co-using these unless they’ve changed their process.Yeah, mine from 6 to 8 is also $300. (Advanced)
I’m just guessing, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that was the same price from 7 to 8 because when I was considering a 6 to 7 upgrade, it was that price.
What’s nice is that you can apparently upgrade but still use an earlier version if you need to. (At least that’s what they told me some months back.)
Because unless I hear more about tweaks to the other modules, I’m hesitant to mess with a workflow that works for me, even at a great price. Right now they’re focusing on the new stuff, but as the weeks go on, there might be more about smaller improvements to the other modules.
Between that info and initial feedback on the new features, my credit card might be tempted to make an appearance.

Some noise on a Snare? Someone coughing in background? A noise literally on top of an Acoustic Guitar? Mouth noises beyond sibilance? Room hum? Guitar hum? Wind in Dialogue? General sonic Dog Shit that needs Removing whilst keeping harmonics intact?
RX can get rid of all that. No hassle.
