Hi Anders,

To remove one specific frequency, don't use the lowpass or highpass
filters, use the notch filter I've attached, called notch50.ny - the
default frequency it will remove is fifty hertz.

Three edit fields: remove 60hz, remove 50hz, or remove frequency of your
choice. Default is remove 50hz.

Next edit field: if you've chosen to remove another frequency, enter it
into this field.

Third edit field: what's known as 'q' or 'quality' of filtering. A lower
value removes a wider range of frequencies centered around the notch
frequency you chose.

Hello!
I am about to reduce hom or try to remove it with audacity.
Its from a radio show which i recorded from my stereo receiver.
I didn't realize there was a grounding problem.
Its a 50HZ hum which is really annoying to listen to.
Can anybody here recomend which filter i should use to reduce this hum?
And which cutoff frequency would be the best to use?
I have tried to use lowpass filter from 40 hz and highpass filter from 70 hz.
But i am no mathematics which now seem to be abit frustrating to me.
I am no good in counting so i hope someone can clear out this for me.
Sorry.
Thanks in advance.
/Anders.
