Waves X-Hum

Waves X-Hum - Noise Removal Plugin | Precisely Remove Hum, Rumble & DC Offset to Restore a Clean Low End

In audio production, nothing is more frustrating than noise lurking in the low frequencies. Hum caused by ground loops, faulty wiring, or transformer interference, and rumble from mechanical sources like turntables or air conditioning systems, can severely compromise the low-end clarity and impact of your work. Furthermore, DC offset issues, often outside the audible range, are silently eating away at your valuable headroom, making your audio sound dull and lacking energy.

To solve these tricky problems, we proudly introduce the Waves X-Hum plugin. It is a premium tool designed for precise hum removal that quickly and efficiently resolves all low-frequency noise issues. As part of the classic Waves Restoration series, X-Hum offers an intuitive interface and advanced algorithms. Whether you're mastering, restoring live recordings, or digitizing old audio files, it is your indispensable audio restoration tool. With its powerful low-frequency processing capabilities and efficient noise suppression technology, you can easily restore the purity of your sound, giving your mixes a clean, tight, and detailed low end.

Core Advantages & Use Cases

Precise Low-Frequency Noise Filtering
X-Hum is specifically designed for low-frequency issues, effectively filtering out hum caused by 50/60Hz and its harmonics, low-frequency rumble from turntables or air conditioners, and removing dynamics-damaging DC offset with a single click. Its high-precision filters ensure that only noise is removed, preserving the detail and character of the original audio to the fullest extent.

Intuitive and Easy-to-Use Interface
The clean interface allows you to get started without delving into complex acoustic theory. With the clear spectrum analyzer, you can visually identify the location of the noise and use a few simple knobs to quickly adjust the filter frequency, Q, and attenuation, hearing the results in real-time and significantly boosting your workflow efficiency.

Zero Latency & Ultra-Low CPU Usage
X-Hum's core algorithm is highly optimized for true zero-latency processing. This means you can use it for recording monitoring or live mixing without introducing any delay. At the same time, its extremely low CPU consumption allows you to use it on multiple tracks in large projects without slowing down your system performance.

Wide Range of Applications
Whether it's dialogue noise reduction for film and TV, background noise treatment for broadcast recordings, digital restoration of old vinyl or cassettes, or removing electrical noise from instrument recordings caused by equipment issues, X-Hum is perfectly suited for the task. It is an essential tool for post-production engineers, music producers, audio archivists, and anyone who strives for pristine audio quality.
