Is the "whitening" slider he adjusts at 9:40 almost like having the program act as a high pass filter because you're focusing on white noise on a low humming track?

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. The Whitening slider shapes the noise floor after processing to be more like white noise. Whitening modifies the amount of noise reduction (shown by the yellow curve) applied at different frequencies to shape the spectrum of the residual noise. When Whitening is set to zero, the suppression is uniform at all frequencies, as controlled by Reduction (tonal/broadband) sliders, and the suppressed noise has a similar spectral shape to the original noise. When Whitening is set to the maximum value, the desired shape of the suppressed noise floor is made close to white noise, so that residual noise has a more neutral sound. To better under the effect this slider has; one can try changing the noise floor balance with Whitening. This helps prevent gaps from over-processing, but an unnaturally white noise floor can introduce problems like noise modulation when editing or mixing with other noises from a unique space (like a set location.)

If I were president I would pass a law that forces all demonstrations to be accompanied by the SAMPLE FILES.
