Removing hums/buzzes…then voice is worse!
I’m testing the demo versions of Izotope RX2 and Wave Arts Mr. Noise, which is similar to RX2’s Denoiser.
In either one, when I “learn” the background hum, then apply it to the audio file, the voice of the person talking suddenly sounds muffled/tinny/underwater-like.
How can I rid the audio file of a slight background hum, yet keep the rich sound of the voice?
Thanks.

If you’re using the denoise feature, if you sample it in the advance mode, you can better seperate the tonal(voice) from the broadband (background) a bit better.
Also check the “output noise only” box and slide things around until you start to hear too much voice. When you start to hear voice you know your cutting into the voice and it will begin to sound hollow.Roger Bansemer

How are you selecting the sample that you want the software to learn? The sample duration should be very short, and should not contain anything except the sound you want eliminated. Also, how loud is the hum or noise versus the voice you are trying to preserve?

Just adjust the sliders Ron until your audio sounds right.

Well, there’s another problem: when I adjust the sliders while playing the audio, it doesn’t make any sound change.
Does adjust sliders in the demo while playing the audio not work?

Actually, I’ll be honest: Audacity totally beat Izoptope as far as removing the background hum sound! Surprising, but true!
The only thing, it left the person talking sounding kinda tinny/underewaterish. Can I restore the sound of the person talking with a plugin in SVP? If so, which one would work the best?
Thanks.

Ron, One technique you can use is to create two separate audio files and apply a different plugin to each. You can then combine the two to create a final file.

If you get to understand how to use Izotope RX PROPERLY you
would realize how wrong that statement is. Do you watch many of
the online tutorials?Steve Rhoden

Post a sample here that is a few seconds long. We’ll suggest you the right settings. Generally hum is more effectively treated by the Denoiser module, using algorithms C and D. Train the denoiser on a sample of hum (make it as long as possible, but still containing only noise) and adjust your Tonal/Broadband Reduction sliders for appropriate treatment.

Alexey:
Been there, done ALL that!
Right now, I’m just going to stick with Audacity. Being a bargain shopper (read: cheap) I simply refuse to pay the price Izotope is asking for RX2.
Maybe down the road…
Anyway, someone suggested a sound sample so play with. Here it is:

This is definitely a food for Denoiser, not Hum Remover. Here’s what can be done in RX: 5718_5717cheriespresentationsamplerx.wav.zip
