In further response to our recent tech tip on removing hum (inSync 4/14/99) we’ve had a few manufacturers offer additional product suggestions for hum removal. Cedar Audio sent us a very nice letter about their DRX+ debuzzer, which uses their latest algorithms and proven sophisticated techniques. Jumping to the conclusion that Churches can not afford the professional solutions mentioned, Arboretum Systems argued that their Ray Gun software does just as good of a job (or better) at a fraction of the cost of the other systems. We can say that for $99 retail it is AMAZING.
There are actually dozens of systems that are good at removing noise and/or hum from recordings. The TTOTD will rarely spit out a laundry list of all possible solutions to any problem. The point is to give users a conceptual understanding of what the issues (questions) are. There are often more questions to ask and more to know before making a decision. Hopefully you will always contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for a specific recommendation tailored to your unique situation.
