Why is it written, that Hum remover returned?
The next line is what it returned:
"WARNING: floor must be greater than zero in GATE function; setting...."
That indicates a recoverable error in the Hum remover plug-in code. The reason for that error is due to an update to Nyquist's GATE function that was made some time after the Hum remover plug-in was written. Does the plug-in still work?

Yes, it works, I attached the screen in previous post. In history it is reflected "Applied effect Hum remover".

Please, correct the plugin's work so, that debug output would be empty.

Why do you think that's my job? Can't you fix it?

I chose in random 5 or 6 Nyquist plugings - none of them gave anything in debug output. Logically, Hum remover should be like the others.Whose job it is, I don’t know. It’s not mine!

Audacity has been developed over 20 years by volunteer enthusiasts, creating not only a great audio app, but building a community. Hundreds of people have contributed over the years, and millions of people have benefited from their work. When I first started using Audacity, there were some bugs and missing features that I wanted fixed, so I learned how to contribute. There's no reason why you couldn't do the same

There are people here on this forum that would be very happy to help you learn, but don't expect them to do it for you.

What if open the plugin with Notepad and then merely replace the (floor) value 0.00002 with 0.001?
Code: Select all
(setq floor 0.00002)
(setq odd (sanitise odd 0 1000))
(setq even (sanitise even 0 1000))
(setq thresh (/ (sanitise thresh 0 100) 100.0))
(setq attack 0.25)
(setq look attack)

I can’t believe, the error message is gone! But how would it be better, to set the new value or to get back the old? Or to set some other value?

That'll do it.

I guess, the better setting will be "floor"=0.0008 (eight divided by ten thousand)
The error line still presents. I've done all I can. Please make the mistake go away.
