X-Hum quickly and efficiently removes hum, rumble and DC offset from your recordings.

Hum and rumble interfere with a great bass response, and DC offset at sub-audible frequencies may also be reducing your headroom. X-Hum tackles problems caused by ground loops, bad connections, proximity to transformers and mechanical devices, with zero latency and virtually no drain on your CPU. Eight tuned notch filters reduce 50 or 60 Hz hum and its harmonics by up to 60 dB, a high-pass filter with 12 or 24 dB per octave reduces rumble, and factory presets handle the most common use cases.
