I often use DC8 to filter out incidental 60 Hz hum in what are otherwise clean, on-site live recordings.
And I have often wondered about the differences between using the EZ Clean filter, the Harmonic Reject filter, or the Continuous Noise Filter to minimize 60 Hz noise.
The EZ Clean filter, using the 60 Hz hum reject, seems to be the easiest to use. However this filter also tries to correct for clicks and scratches when the same operative controls are set to a '0' value. Seems to be a bug I would think, in that these software functions should be absolutely inoperative if their respective control functions are set to '0'. So I have decided to not use EZ Clean for hum reduction because it occasionally alters the recorded material beyond reducing the hum level.
But nonetheless, all these filters do the job and do it well.
Could one explain what filter is the best to use, and why?
