Problems with Sound Forge Pro / Reducing audio humming in Vegas Pro?

Unfortunately, it turns out that in case of Vegas Pro 365 some of the Sound Forge Pros essential plugins are just trial versions, so you must pay for them separately. So, when Magix is telling us that Sound Forge Pro is now bundled with Vegas Pro, it is a bit misleading marketing, as they forget to mention that it is not a full version Sound Forge Pro you get 🙁

Anyway, I'm not going to waste any more time to discus with Magix' so called customer service, but just trying to figure out what is the easiest way to reduce some background "humming" in voice overs.

I have been using RX De-hum (that easily fix the problem), but as it is not a part of Sound Forge Pro (365) anymore, I'm trying to figure out, if I should:

  1. just buy the plugin?
  2. try to re-install some older version of the plugin? 
  3. or do something else, as Vegas Pro itself seems to have lot of audio editing functions build in, so there might be better and easier solution?

iZotope occasionally has attractive sales on their Elements packages
There are quite a few free plug-ins to attenuate hum and such as well .. search.
The Magix plug-in restoration suite (formally known as (SCS) NR-2.0) which is included with SF-Pro) can be manually set to attenuate hum. Notch, high pass filters, parametric, paragraphic EQs.. free and otherwise) can attenuate hum as well. Typically 50 or 60 Hz and the subsequent octive(s) are quick and easy to set,

Thanks rraud! :) I got the humming removed with Paragraphic EQ :)
