How Do I Reduce Hiss On Guitar Parts And Live Reordings?, Logic Express plug-ins Options

[Repo]

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?

About Guitar "Hum".... I know I'm going to get seriously "Beat Up" for this remark... But, I've got to say this and "I" believe it's true.

No one loves a real concert or live music more than I do, however, I usually go away saying: "Damn, that sounded like crap". From headline Super Stars to nameless wannabees... The only thing I hate more than bad playing is guitar and bass hum. I really hate it on a recording, unless it is a "Vintage" "Original" Pre-Digital Recording.

My advice. DI. DIRECT IN. There are many to choose from. Line 6 is a affordable "Professional" alternative to 'Hum'.... Save that problem for the "Live Gig" where it's expected, even respected... But, in my headphones it is "Rejected". There is no need for "Hum" in todays recordings. Messes up the sound of everything...

You guitar and bass players better be cool, I remember when drummers were replaced by one man, there are at least 50 such men today trying to replace Guitarists... These virtual guitar players are always on time, don't need toilet breaks, are always in tune, don't have ego problems, won't steal your girlfriend/boyfriend and most importantly: "NO HUM", unless "Requested".

You don't need an Amp in todays studios. Only the "High-End Professional Studios" use Amps, and believe me, they don't "Hum". "Hum" in a "Professional Studio" is not tolerated. "Pros" walk into the Studio sit in the control room and go Direct-In.

I really hate Hum.
