Any advice on removing or minimizing the line hum from this track?:

Have you tried Sonic Foundry's Noise Reduction 2.0?
Waves X Noise is very good too but $1200
Try the demos

Good luck, George Ware

I didn't listen to it but I would suggest if you can't afford x-hum or SF's Noise Reduction 2.0, or Raygun, try a couple of stacked parametric EQ's isolating the frequency of the hum (usually 50 or 60hz, unless it's more of a light-switch or florescent hum which is around 4-6khz). Try a very low Q (bandwidth) on the notch filter. it won't remove it, but it might reduce it.

Waves offers a 14day fully working demo of x-restoration, which I recommend.
