[78-L] Hum removal using Audacity

[maceo]

Hello

Recently received an email from Magix Sound Forge for their new program 
support Sound Forge Pro 365, included in the email was info on Izotope 
VST3 plugins & SEQUOIA which have Dehiss, DeClick etc, have not used 
these functions myself - though could be an option if available to be 
added as a plugin to your audio editing software?

Cheers,

Gary
