Re: [videoblogging] avoiding/cleaning hum noise
i had a problem like this once and i ended up using some room tone and adding the hum beneath my 'non hum' segments. it depends how bad it is - but often if something is steady people won't even notice it. it's the contrasts between sound and silence that are a killer...:) for future shoots (mainly for sit-downs) - if u think it's camera noise consider buying a 6 foot or so xlr cable and mounting the mic on something else (even gaffer taped to a chair).

Loreta This hum might come from AC mains interference. Try using the camera solely from the battery (no charger) and keep it away from all mains wiring and equipment. Dave.

I would like to know how you manage to record a sound with minimum hum in a room environment. I have a good microphone that I use for my filming, but I always get a huge hum sound if I film inside. What camera do you use, or where do you place your mic? Some cameras are notorious for their loud tape mechanism.

Do you get a hum wherever you film inside, or particularly in one location? Lots of household/office appliances that we can't hear or filter out make a big hum when recorded - air con, computers, fridges, etc. Try being ruthless about shutting everything off when filming. Keep different types of cables away from each other, and if you need to cross them, do so at right angles.

Re: [videoblogging] avoiding/cleaning hum noise
hi also don't forget the value of an atmos track for these situations. Record the room silent and then lay that beneath everything else. (No room is actually silent and this is standard practice.)
