Try a notch filter or a low pass filter... just dont set the
cutoff too low, or the resonance too high... depending on
the frequencey of the hiss that should do the trick.

Or a de-esser, compressor, gate...

Or you can remove the his in post production using noise
reduction in one of many sound editors like cooledit or
soundforge.

Really , it kind of depends on where the hiss is being made,
and what is making it.

well i think its due to my crappy sound card leaves a little
background hiss when i'm recording

yeah... generally when it comes to recording you need to
make sure you have your recording and playback levels
optimized for what you are trying to record, and how it is
being recorded... make a point of recording at a low volume
and playing it back so it is audible... but not too loud.
What are you recording?

when it comes to recording with a crappy soundcard, you tend
to need to do a lot of sound restoration... sibilus is a
common problem, thus, get to know a decent de-esser.

dude, if it's that bad (and I know it is) you can
borrow my spiffy sound blaster live, I'm sure your brother
won't mind the addition, but I'll want it back one day, just
realise

yeah cheers, i know its a lot of dickin around, i'm
recording stuff from a drum machine.

Try making the recording really low, then the output from
the drum machine really high, and compressing it. If you are
looking for a crunchy, more abbrassive sound, set the output
for the drum machine really high, and then just set the
threshold of the compressor to about -3 db and the ratio to
about 2.5. then increase the output to +2db. Make suyre the
attack is short.

tell me what you need (and how much money you need) and I
can get it, my friends often throw around free computer
parts..

i'd have to have alook at me box 2 tell ya that, i've got
most parts just the task of puttin it all together thats
stoppin me.
got a good hard drive, but only pentium 2 i think processor
shit ram and dodgy motherboard, good video and sound card
tho, i'm pretty sure from last time it was enough to run the
programs i'm usin and that was ok.

Get more ram. Its cheap and makes all the difference. I
trippled the ammount of ram on my crappy computer for 30
dollars canadian. If you have a video and souncard, then you
should be set.

yeah i was having the same problem with background noise
before my last soundcard went out - my new card though is
fine and my melodies have little or no background noise, ah
but you said its not your comp, so ah nevermind.

cheers, i'm sendin u an email oxygenfad.

i think it may have something to do with my soundcard, i
dunno, i guess this computer just isn't geared for audio but
as it the only computer thats set up at the moment, things
would be a lot easier if i can solve this lil prob.

various stuff you can do:

-use shielded cables, as short as possible, clean the
contacts and tighten the cuffs
-it may be your soundcard and motherboard creating the hiss
especially if your soundcard is intergrated into the mboard.
try using the an external audio interface, such as the cheap
USB interface by creative which in the UK will be £40, it
looks like a silver video sized box and has hiss clean-up
software with it
-try recording the hits individually and re-sequencing them
on the PC, which may help with compressing, EQing and fx
later
-use a noise gate to cut the hiss from the quieter sections
-try the line not mic input or vice versa
-the DX FX that come with soundforge are simple but workable
and can be DL'd quite easily
-work with the crunch?
