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.

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

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.

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.

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?
