Plug-in/Software to remove ground loop hum?
aaronji:
I recently recorded Blackberry Smoke in Amsterdam. The recording turned out quite well, but there is a ground loop hum audible during some of the quieter parts of the second half of the show. I was wondering if anybody could recommend a plug-in that would help reduce this? I am using Audition 3, which is pretty long in the tooth, so I would also be amenable to a whole new software package, if needed. I would prefer not to spend a ton of money, but it doesn't have to be free either.
Thanks for any recommendations!

Izotope RX or Acon Acoustica?
noahbickart:
just use any eq with very narrow and deep cuts at 50hz or 60hz as appropriate (along with any relevant harmonics).
Some eq's even have a preset for it, like the new toneboosters v4

iZotope was already on the list, of course, but I had never heard of Acoustica before! It looks like a pretty nice package; I may spring for it. Thanks for the recommendation.

I already tried to EQ it at 50 Hz (in Europe) with the harmonics, but it didn't work very well for me in my decade (plus) old Audition 3.0. I also tried a de-noise effect. That's actually what got me started down this path. It would be nice to have this as a preset and I figure a lot of other things have also improved. I will look into toneboosters.
[Edit to add:] I assume the screenshot is from toneboosters?

Acon are actually well regarded for their VST plugins. If memory serves, their "Restoration Suite" (VST plugins without the DAW / spectral editor) is also available separately.
I use Izotope RX6. If you're able to upload just one track which suffers from the ground hum problem I could give it a try to see what you could expect from RX in the best case.
