Izotope Rx Remove Noise
| Module & Plug-in |

Overview
De-hum is designed to remove persistent tonal noise, like the AC hum that can be caused by poor electrical grounding. De-hum includes a series of notch filters that can be set to remove both the base frequency of the hum, usually 50 Hz (Europe) or 60 Hz (USA) as well as any harmonics. The De-hum module is effective for removing hum that has up to seven harmonics above its primary frequency.
Voice De-noise can intelligently analyze speech signals and determine the best noise threshold for your signal. In a DAW, this feature can be used to write automation in case you need to override the automatic settings and correct the noise threshold by hand. IZotope RX 6 is a powerful, industry-leading tool for fixing audio issues. In this course, join Garrick Chow as he covers the best and latest features of iZotope RX 6, and demonstrates techniques.
Controls
Izotope Rx Download
- BASE FREQUENCY: Sets the fundamental frequency of the hum to be removed. The Free option unlocks the Notch Frequency control and allows you to manually identify the fundamental. With Preview engaged, adjust the slider until you find the point where the hum is appropriately reduced.
Tip
You can also use the Spectrum Analyzer to help identify the base frequency of the hum.
- SUGGEST: De-hum can intelligently identify the noise profile of the hum in your audio. Make a selection containing the hum in isolation, and click the Suggest button. This will automatically set the Base Frequency based on the learned profile. If you cannot find a selection of hum in isolation, RX can analyze any audio with prominent hum, but the results may not be as useful.
- ADAPTIVE MODE: Allows De-hum to adjust the notch filters based on changes in the audio over time. In this mode, RX will analyze incoming audio to determine what is hum and what is desired audio material. Adaptive mode will work better with hum that changes in pitch throughout the file.
- FILTER Q: Controls the bandwidth of the notch filters for the base frequency and all of the harmonics.
LINEAR-PHASE FILTERS: Linear-phase enables FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters with a high FFT size. These filters provide very accurate frequency response with no change in phase at the expense of latency and filter pre-ringing.
Disabling Linear Phase (FIR) filters
- When Linear Phase is disabled, De-hum will use minimum-phase IIR filters. These are also very accurate, and are only susceptible to post-ringing, which is usually less noticeable than the pre-ringing introduced by FIR filters.
- Latency Consideration: Disabling Linear Phase Filters will reduce the latency used by De-hum when it is being used as a real-time plug-in.
- When Linear Phase is disabled, De-hum will use minimum-phase IIR filters. These are also very accurate, and are only susceptible to post-ringing, which is usually less noticeable than the pre-ringing introduced by FIR filters.
HIGH/LOW-PASS FILTERS: These traditional filters come ahead of the De-hum notch filters, and allow for frequencies to pass above or below a certain cutoff point. These can be useful for tackling extreme hum or buzz.
- FREQUENCY [Hz]: sets the cutoff frequency for the filter
- Q: Sets the bandwidth of the filter (or dB/octave cut). In the default IIR filter mode with a high Q setting, you may notice a resonance at the cutoff frequency characteristic of traditional analog filters. That resonance can be mitigated by engaging the Linear-phase filters.
- FREQUENCY [Hz]: sets the cutoff frequency for the filter
NUMBER OF HARMONICS: Because harmonics often accompany the fundamental frequency of a hum, De-hum can also attenuate these overtones with notch filters. Using the Number of Harmonics control, you can select up to 7 harmonics above the fundamental. The spectrogram display can make it easy to identify the harmonics. After selecting the number of harmonics, use the Slope control to set how aggressively the higher harmonics are attenuated.

LINK HARMONICS: Connects the gain controls of the notch filters.
- ALL: presents a single node on the display for controlling the gain of all the notch filters. This is the default setting.
- ODD/EVEN: presents two nodes on the display, one for controlling the gain of the fundamental frequency and even harmonics, and another for controlling the 1st harmonic and any following odd harmonics.
- NONE: presents individual gain nodes for the fundamental and each harmonic.
- ALL: presents a single node on the display for controlling the gain of all the notch filters. This is the default setting.
SLOPE: When harmonics are linked, this controls the harmonic slope of the gain nodes for each overtone. As the harmonic order increases, the gain level resolves closer to 0 dB. When the Link Harmonics control is set to Odd/Even, a separate control appears that affords independent control over the slope for both odd and even harmonics.
HARMONIC GAINS [dB]: This section provides a numerical readout of the notch filter gain settings in decibels. You can also manually enter gain settings for the fundamental, or any of the harmonics if Link Harmonics is set to None.
FILTER DC OFFSET: This checkbox will engage a filter to remove any DC (direct current) offset that sometimes occurs in A/D converters or analog circuits used in the recording process.
OUTPUT HUM ONLY: Selecting this check box will isolate the hum that is being removed. This is useful for fine-tuning your settings. Identify a section of your file where the hum is mixed with other material, select this mode, and click Preview. Now adjust parameters like Filter Q and Slope control to maximize hum removal, thus minimizing the effect on the program material.

Alternative Modules to use for Complex Hum Issues
- Spectral De-noise For hum that has many harmonics that extend into higher frequencies (often described as “buzz”), try using Spectral De-noise. Spectral De-noise features tonal noise reduction controls that can make short work of harmonic hum and buzz across the entire spectrum.
- De-click Some very high frequency buzz can also be removed with the De-click module.
Apr 27, 2017 Next, Joe dives into the heart of iZotope’s RX 6 by giving a thorough description and practical demonstration of every module. You learn how to de-clip, de-plose, de-ess, de-click, de-crackle audio in every possible way! Want to remove some annoying lip smacks and mouth noise on a voice recording? Oct 26, 2018 It’s no secret that iZotope’s series of RX de-noising and waveform editing products have dominated the market for several years. They are the go-to processing effects for many post-production engineers and editors.That being said, it may be argued that releasing annual or even biennial paid updates without significant improvements is a bit exploitive. Jan 20, 2005 The De-hum module in iZotope’s RX noise reduction software 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 harmonics that may have resulted. Then we can use the Spectral De-noise module to address additional buzz above those harmonics. IZotope RX 6 is a powerful, industry-leading tool for fixing audio issues. In this course, join Garrick Chow as he covers the best and latest features of iZotope RX 6, and demonstrates techniques. May 20, 2018 Plug-in Workflow. Insert the iZotope RX Dialogue De-noise plug-in on the dialogue track or bus that requires noise reduction. In some cases you may want to insert an EQ plug-in ahead of the Dialogue De-noise plug-in to filter low frequency rumble and make any other broad EQ adjustments.
