investigate the soundtrack pro forums as that software no doubt has great tools to fix this issue

Removing hiss from cassette tracks

Other than the gate, how can I effectively remove hiss from some cassette tracks I imported to GB?

an audio editor like audacity would be a better choice:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
but in GB you can try any of the EQs (parametric would be my first choice)

How to remove hiss from a Live Instrument

I have a lot of hiss in one of my live bass tracks. Is there a way to remove it?

Make sure your backup copy is up to date and use that to move the music.
You can also type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

Converting from Vinyl to digital and removing hiss

We just got this new turntable that will convert old 45s to digital but the recordings have a lot of hiss because of the age of the vinyl itself. Is there any way to remove the hiss in logic? If not is there a recommended program?

I used SoundSoap <http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundSoap2/> to take the hiss out of old tapes from the early 1980's. It really works well and actually enhanced the sound in a positive way.
You can also try the Noise Gate plug in Logic or even a plain old EQ plug (just create a downward narrow Q filter and sweep it thru the frequency range to try and locate the hiss).

Recorded too low...Remove hiss from audio?

I'm a noob at Soundbooth and I'm hoping it will help resolve a problem. I shot a video and I think the audio (voice recording) is too low. While editing in Premiere I pulled the audio up in volume and it sounded acceptable... but when burned to DVD there is a hiss. Is there anything I can do with Soundbooth to fix the volume and eliminate the hiss. The simpler the explaination the better. Thanks!

re 1 & 3- there's a description of how to do this in the STP manual. Just look under the help section and it'll be there. Just read it this weekend and got it to work for me and believe me, I'm not the shapest knife in the drawer. One bit of advice, make an extra sequence before you export to STP so you don't mess up your original audio.
Regarding how to remove the hiss, unfortunately it's not a one size fits all. Jay Rose wrote an article entitle "Shh- the silent art of noise reduction" or something close to that. Definitely try to find that article if you can at DV.com You can always try a low cut or shelf. Start at 130 Hz Male to 200 Hz female and back off if it cuts too off (makes it sound too thin). There's supposed to be a way to compensate for this by doing an eq bump 3 x the frequency you cut or something like that. You can also cut or shelve frequecies above 12000 Hz. Then there's using a downward expander, but that's a little tricky with what STP comes with stock imo. Expanders are better for film/video than noise gates as they are much less abrupt. I would use noise reduction as my last resort and almost never use it at all. A lot of these filters can be applied in FCP.
Honestly, if you ask at the DV.com audio forum I'm sure they'll give you the advice you need. Jay Rose did write a book on post production audio that you might be interested in as well. Pretty much all of what I'm trying to tell you comes from it or that aricles. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost that book.

Removing hiss sounds from video

What filters should be applied to remove camera his sounds?

Is it just a steady hiss (white noise), like you might have had on an audio tape without Dolby NR? You may have had the audio gain too high. Try lowering it in the audio clip. You might also be able to reduce it somewhat by using the graphic eq filter. More aggressive treatment can be done with a product like Sound Soap.
Or is it the sound of your camcorder's motor? Or something else?

Removing hiss/noise from amp simulator

Iv recently started to record using Garageband and just cant remove the hiss/noise from the amp simulator without compramising the sound i want for recording drastically. I use quite high gain as i play mainly heavy rock, iv tried turing the gain levels down but im not getting anywhere near the sound i would like to achieve. So do you know of any methods that i can give a go or will i just have to live with the results and compramise?
Many thanks in advance!
Scott

Cheers guys for the help, it went down a treat and now i practically have no hiss/noise on my tracks. Thanks very much for letting me get my music down as i want it, you were both very helpful!
Cheers!

Removing hissing noise?

Is garageband capable of removing the hissing noise from an mp3 file. If so, how do I go about doing this?
If not, what other software is worth purchasing to acheive this?

Hi,
Is garageband capable of removing the hissing noise from an mp3 file. If so, how do I go about doing this?
Hang's suggestions about E.Q. are the option that can help in GB.
If you do this, try boosting the frequencies until you find the one(s) where the hiss lives. Then you can carefully cut/lower that frequency range to remove as much hiss as possible without hurting the part you want to keep.
If not, what other software is worth purchasing to acheive this?
If you want an app that specializes in Noise-Reduction, I suggest SoundSoap2.
It's not cheap, and I wouldn't buy it for cleaning up one mp3, but it has a very user-friendly interface, and does a good job of removing several kinds of noise.

Removing Hiss in I Movie4

I've been doing a documentary and have sat my subject down for interviews.
I've noticed some hissing in the audio is there any way to lower it in I movie or adaptable plugin.
would battery strengh in my wirless affect this .

Hi James
Is the hiss sound - tones like a 50 or 60Hz hum sound or is it
random noise.
If there is a sort of logic in it like a hum You can export the sound as
an .aiff file and then use a program like Sound Soap and it can reduce it.
If not then You have to use a program with an equalizer and see if You can
lower the hiss sound and increase the vocal frequencies.

How do i remove buzz and hiss from audio track?

I'm using Premiere Elements 13, Windows 8, 64 bit
My original film has some hiss and buzz that I would like to remove. I tried applying DeNoiser and New Blue Hum Remover, but neither seemed to make a difference. Perhaps I need to tweek the tools to make them suppress more of the unwanted sound? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Just some quick things to check out for now.
If the Premiere Elements audio effects are not working for you, please check out the noise removal offered by the free audio editor named Audacity. Have you used that before?
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Here are Audacity suggested how to. Think noise reduction rather than noise removal.

What audio editor lets you select a type of sound to remove (e.g. hiss)?

Hi all, I'm new here and am just in the process of abandoning Windows in favour of a Mac. (I grew up on an Apple ][e and the first Mac FWIW!)
I am used to Sony Sound Forge and other PC audio editors, and need to choose my program of choice on the Macbook Pro.
There is one killer feature I need. It's kinda hard to describe, but basically it lets you select a region of audio that you want to 'memorise', and it will then remove any audio that fits its frequency, from the rest of the track. E.g. you can select hiss from a blank part of a track you recorded from an old cassette, and it will remove that hiss from the entire track.
Is there a (preferably freeware) audio editor that has this specific feature?
Many thanks!

Hi //eBoy,
I've never heard of any program that could memorize a sound and then remove that sound from another recording. Sound is too variable to be able to exactly match the frequency, amplitude, phase and harmonics of a "noise" to invert it and cancel that same "sounding" noise somewhere else.
Searching here for "remove hiss" the best suggestion appears to be lowering the undesired frequency with a band-stop filter (band equalizer), but of course, if there were any desired sounds with that same frequency, they would be attenuated too.

Is There A Way Of Filtering Out Background Hiss Using Quicktime Pro ?

Hello Every one!
I would like to remove hiss from my video recordings using Quicktime Pro. Is there a way to do this? I have Windows version.
Thank you.

You might try Audacity:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
to work on the audio track (you'll have to export the track, work on it, and bring it back into the video). Audacity has a noise removal tool as well as EQ capabilities.

Recording Stops rather randomly or with no audio... HELP!!!

I've been trying to record audio through an Alesis USB 8 Mixer. I can record audio through the mixer however it seems if there is a pause in audio in between a guitar part or any drop in volume, it stops recording. This makes it incredibly hard to record a song if have to keep going back and hitting record over and over again every time the part of the song playing has a rest. Can anyone help?

I don't think I ever got it to work. I believe I used Audio Hijack Pro (rogueamoeba.com) to digitize the cassette (using the Griffin iMic) - then i used Soundbooth to do some editing.
If you need to remove hiss from an audio tape, or pops and clicks from an LP, you might want to check out a product called SoundSaver (www.bias-inc.com)
SoundBooth worked pretty well for removing noise, but I had to do it manually - scrolling through the waveform finding aberrations to "erase".
SoundSaver does this job automatically, and does it well. In addition, it has an "enhance' feature that really improves the audio quality of both tapes and LP's.
It also makes child's play of the task of identifying and naming the tracks. So I use that product exclusively now. SoundBooth is probably not the best tool for working with tapes and LP's.
Hope this helps.
