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? |

Psych... Guitar "Hiss" my favorite subject... Hum does not work in the studio environment period. Hum sucks no matter where it is, I have learned to accept it at a Live Gig, but it sucks there too. Unless your Amp does not Hum and your Microphone is at least a step above "Entry Level" (Cheap) then an Amp is cool. DI is much better in the studio, there is a lot less transfer going on. Why would you want "Hiss and Hum on your Recordings"? To prove it's a real guitar? A guitarist will know what you've done. No one can tell if you're using a Pre-CBS Fender, Marshall, MusicMan, whatever on a Recording... They would only be guessing. Too many "Killer" DI Solutions to ever worry about getting great guitar in and Hiss and Hum out... In fact, you can add hiss... Dumbest thing I ever heard of, but people using Virtual Guitars use it I've read... Buy Hiss!!!! It's insane. Line 6 is a great alternative and I'll bet it sounds better than whatever Amp you're using... It will leave your Amp, whatever it is, no matter how tweaked, whacked and pimped out it might be in the dust... On Stage as well...
Piss on Hiss... Sorry, could not help it. I do like the mixing/blending of the two guitars, but, why? Why do you want Hiss on your maxed out mixes?????? |
