  Audio hum removal

  Posted by Lawrence Mcdonough on December 20, 2007 at 10:49 pm

  Greetings…..that nasty old gremlin “Hum” crept into my audio track while recording a live concert. In fact, I think it may be Hum’s older smelly uncle, “Buzz The Audio Destroyer”, because it is rather loud. I believe it is from a bad XLR mic cable linked into the chain at the last minute. Nevertheless, it is there for the entire 90 minute show, only occasionally buried during singing or louder narration points. I have tried FCP audio filters for Hum removal and Notch filter, not having success there, I just seem to make the male voice narration sound worse. I exported the audio clip to Sound Track Pro and attempted a fix with “Denoiser”. Lets just say my skills at STP are beginner and I am wandering a bit clueless. This is the first time I have tackled a hum removal problem in either editor, so any advice will need to come from an editor with the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon, posessing good explanation skills. Thank you.
