Removing electrical hum and buzz at 60 Hz and its harmonics, usually caused by ground loops or cheap cables, while leaving the voice and music intact.
- Price
- From $65.00 per hour
- Free trial
- One episode up to 30 minutes, edited and mastered, no card, no commitment.
What to send us
The affected recordings, ideally including a few seconds where only the hum is audible, and a note of the recording setup if you know it, such as the cables or mixer used.
What you get back
Clean files with hum and buzz removed across all harmonics, plus advice on the likely cause, so the next recording does not have the same problem.
What to check before you sign off
Listen at a higher volume than usual on headphones, in quiet passages. Residual buzz tends to hide under speech and appear again in pauses.
