I attach a few files that might help pointing out what I'm doing wrong: attachment : Original.mp3 Median filter isn't going to help "Original.mp3", the median filter taken over 3-sample points only gets rid of high-frequency crackle, your "Original.mp3" sample is all below 4kHz ...

Here's a second version of the above code with two-fold median: I see you've added an integrate step , (which I omitted) , which restores the original equalization. ( without integration the bass is missing ). Your "second version" code is very effective on the 16kHz sample-rate : it remo...

Apply: ... Notch Filter, Frequency 120, Q 10 Thanks Bill. ;) I ended up using the Nyquist prompt code below. That Nyquist code doesn't reduce the mains hum : applying a notch-filter at 120Hz (mains-hum 1st- harmonic ) in this particular case does make an audible difference after the Nyquist code ha...

If the problem is the specific one with Mac Pro and Mavericks, changing the buffer will likely fix it. Possibly reducing the buffer to say 50 ms will cure it - it did for one user. If you can, please experiment with different buffer settings and let us know. Apparently 30ms in some cases ... http:/...
