When to use Hum Removal
Apr 20, 2017 De-bleed can can help reduce or eliminate bleed from headphones, click tracks, multiple mics with small amounts of cross bleed, and even some drum bleed issues. Learn more about RX. This means that you can use De-click to remove a variety of short impulse noises, including clicks caused by digital errors, mouth noises, interference from cell phones, or any other audio problem caused by impulses and discontinuities in a waveform. Here’s a recording with clicks before, and after click removal.
Hum removal is designed to remove low frequency buzz or hum from your audio file. Hum is often caused by lack of proper electrical ground. This tool includes a series of notch filters that can be set to remove both the base frequency of the hum (usually 50 or 60 Hz) as well as any harmonics that may have resulted.
Feb 09, 2015 RX 4’s visual editing tools make it easy to identify and remove unwanted sounds captured during the recording process. Download your free, 10-day trial: http. This means that you can use De-click to remove a variety of short impulse noises, such as clicks caused by digital errors, mouth noises, and interference from cell phones. ALGORITHM: Provides options for adjusting the configuration and processing quality of click interpolation, depending on the types of clicks and pops present in the audio.
Note: The RX Hum Removal module is effective for removing hum that has up to seven harmonics above its primary frequency. For hum that has many harmonics that extend into higher frequencies (often described as 'buzz'), try using RX's Denoise module. For tricky hum problems the Denoise features 'Tonal Noise' suppression controls under its Advanced settings.
Previewing the Hum
Izotope Rx Click Removal Instructions
To begin, select a section of the recording where the hum is prominent. Sometimes there will be silence (or near silence) at the beginning or end of the program material that will contain noise but not any other audio. Otherwise, try choosing a quiet passage of the recording where hum is obvious.
Next, select the section of audio where the hum is most clearly audible. Choose the Loop Playback button. This will allow you to set Hum Removal's parameters as audio plays back.
Finding the Hum's frequency
When attempting to remove hum, you first need to find the hum's primary frequency. The two most common base frequencies that cause hum are 50 Hz (Europe) and 60 Hz (U.S.). Under the Frequency Type field in the Hum Removal module, choose the appropriate frequency and then hit Preview to hear if this has an effect.
Pic: Club NativeWhen I’ve taught friends to DJ, one of the things I try to get across early is the importance of matching the levels of the two tracks being mixed. To DJ successfully in bars, lounges or clubs using Traktor, you need to understand how it handles volume. Traktor pro headphone setup for windows 7.
In some cases, for example a recording made from analog tape that is not precisely at its original recorded speed, you may need to choose the 'Free' Frequency Type. Selecting this option unlocks the Base Frequency control and allows you to manually find the Hum's root note. With Preview engaged, move the slider up and down until you find the point where the hum lessens or disappears.
For even more precise settings, use RX's Spectrogram Display to zoom in on the project's low frequencies. Use the frequency ruler to the right to identify the Hum's Base Frequency. Hum usually appears as a bright horizontal line, sometimes with many less bright lines above it (harmonics).
Learn
The Remove hum module can also automatically locate the root fundamental of any hum in your audio. Simply make a selection containing the trouble frequencies, and click the 'Learn' button. This will automatically change the mode to 'Free' and set the Base Frequency to the result of the 'Learn' calculation. If the hum continues throughout the entire audio file, clicking on 'Learn' without previously selecting any audio, RX will analyze the entire audio file in order the find the Base Frequency of the Hum.
Spectrum Analyzer - By hovering your mouse near a peak in the spectrum, a readout will appear displaying the exact frequency of the peak, its amplitude, and the closest musical note. This can provide much higher accuracy than simply inspecting the graph, even with zooming in and/or increase the FFT size in the settings window. This can help users to find the exact peak frequency of any signal.
Attenuating Hum's Harmonics
Because higher frequency harmonics often result from hum, RX's Hum Removal module has control for attenuating these overtones. Using the Number of Harmonics control, you can select up to 7 harmonics above the primary hum frequency. Again, the spectrogram display in many cases makes it easy to identify the number of hum harmonics in your project. After selecting number of harmonics, use the Harmonic Slope control to how aggressively the higher harmonics are being cut. The Filter Q control adjusts the width of the hum filters.
Using the Residual Output control
By selecting the Residual Output checkbox, you can also hear only the hum that is being removed. This is useful for fine tuning your settings. Play through a section of your file where the hum is mixed with other material, and select Residual output mode and then hit Preview.
Now you can adjust parameters like the Filter Q (width) control and the Harmonic Slope control to maximize hum removal while minimizing the affect on the program material.

Overview
Mouth De-click detects and reduces mouth noises such as clicks and lip smacks. It’s designed for use on longer audio selections, but it can also be used to remove individual clicks.
Controls
- SENSITIVITY: Determines how many mouth clicks are detected in the signal. Increasing sensitivity can impact plosives, reducing or damaging the original signal.
- FREQUENCY SKEW: Targets the detection and removal of clicks to lower or higher frequencies. Negative values are more suitable for generic clicks such as those found on vinyl recordings. A setting of zero or above targets mouth clicks in the middle frequencies.
- CLICK WIDENING: Click Widening extends the repair area around detected clicks, compensating for mouth sounds such as lip smacks that have a decay.

Running Mouth De-click twice sometimes produces a better result than a single pass. This is because an initial run can miss the quieter clicks that were masked by louder clicks.
