In that case there's little point in messing around with pre-amps or the like. If you have access to a Win PC, then there's an (I think it is still free) audio-processing program called 'Audacity' that should be capable of considerably reducing the tape-hiss whilst leaving the wanted sound relatively unaffected. I don't think that there's any program capable of doing this on the Iyonix, unfortunately. > >> Another question - is this track irreplaceably unique, or have other >> people got one?
