Live Producer 0.322: Tune Audio hears which hum it is

Tune Audio tells a 50 Hz mains hum from a 60 Hz one, also under a voice, so Spelvin names the right hum and proposes a fix for it.

  • Fixed Tune Audio… taking a 50 Hz hum for a 60 Hz one, and missing a hum that a voice speaks over. Mains hum is 50 Hz in Europe and 60 Hz in the Americas; the Studio now listens finely enough to tell the two apart, so Spelvin names the hum you have, proposes the Equalizer’s low cut for it and says that a ground loop isolator removes the cause.

The same hum under a voice, before and after: before, 50 and 60 Hz fell in one wide bin and Tune Audio read a hum of 5 dB at 60 Hz; after, the lines at 50, 100 and 150 Hz stand apart and Tune Audio reads 37 dB at 50 Hz
