How do i reduce hiss on guitar parts and live reordings but still maintain quality sound?
Obviously it helps to have a quality recording in the first place but sometimes i need to take out the background hiss from other samples etc
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated on which are the best plug-ins from Logic Express 7.2 for this and how to tweek them effectively?

Hi, Repo

Regarding guitar hiss or hum. This usually comes from using single-coil pickups, and this is especially evident in the studio. There are a few solutions, including

(a) You can remove the hiss using a graphic equalizer to focus on and then reduce the particular frequency of the hiss.
(b) Use a program like SoundSoap (Bias), which is excellent.
© Best of all, go to the root of the problem, and change the pickups on the guitar to EMGs. These are expensive, but cancel out virtually all the hiss. I find them excellent.

best wishes
