At least with default settings. I could be doing something wrong.
I'm still on version 8.34. (I didn't notice anything regarding Dehummer in change log for 8.40.)
Here's an example of hum and noise (maybe I'm wrong with calling this hum?) from a recent file I had to edit:
Noise_Hum_Example.wav
(I looped it a few times and kept it at 16 bit.)
This is what I did:
- Turn on Dehummer
- Click "Capture" to on
- Play hum
- Click "Capture" to off
- Play hum again; it should be gone, but, it's only partially gone. Here's my result, with just Dehummer in Basic Operating mode:
Noise_Hum_Processed.wav
Am I not using it correctly? Are setting adjustments required for this?
I ended up using
Soniqware SG-1 instead.
I thought maybe it might be more focused on
just hum types of noise, but the pop-up help tip for the Dehummer says it can remove
all forms of noise, such as a high pitched tone, and a hiss.
Noise waveform of Noise_Hum_Example.wav before and after processing with Dehummer:
It looks like it just lowered the level. Since the .wav is
only noise, the expected result of the bottom waveform
should be complete silence.
