Try some denoising plug-ins

I've tried using a few with varying degrees of success. If you've got a sample of the hiss only you might try the Sonic Foundry noise reduction stuff, or the Waves X-Noise plug. I've managed to get good results from the Waves plug without a hiss sample (or noise print) from an old tape recording.

ill have a look at them, i've managed to reduce some noise from a few of the samples but the hiss on this 1 kick is doin ma nut in!

In Cool Edit Pro, you can select a section of noise in the recording and have it eliminate that noise from the entire recording. Or you could try using dynamics processing to act as a noise gate, which will only let through sound that is above a certain threshold.

try noise gates, works fine every time...

Forget all that.

Sonic Foundry Noise Reduction 2.0a is the only plugin you need.

Can u get rid of Hum using this as well? I got a mix with a really bad bassy hum, I could eq it but then I lose a bit of the bass kicks, and it sounds a bit weak.

definitely use sonic foundry noise reduction... i have used it in many recordings where there was hiss and hum that were very prevalent and i was able to take them out without messing up the sound. the way it works is you let it take a noise print of an area in which there is only hiss and/or hum and nothing else and then with that noise print apply the noise redution to the whole wave and it will decrease the hiss/hum by a very large amount (the amt. is adjustable)

but really, it works like a charm if you use it right.

Same principal as the cool edit way.

Its much better than gating it because your still gonna have the noise there when the gate opens.

Ive had this problem, and i must saym the sound forge plugin worked a treat!!!

Thanks very much to the person (DC-) who suggested it!
