Hi Tim, I don't know if this has already been answered or not, however, great news, Audacity is absolutely free!

I am recording a bunch of old cassettes using Studio Recorder. I have been then using GoldWave for its hiss filter, which works just okay, and that is with the hiss filter down to 35%, because anything above that starts to distort the music. Does the Audacity audio editor have a better hiss filter? -----Original Message----- From: studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Torpey Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 5:42 AM To: studiorecorder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [studiorecorder] Re: removing hiss in studio recorder I don't think Studio Recorder is able to do this. You might try the Audacity audio editor that works pretty well with keyboard commands. Go to: www.audacity.sourceforge.net and download the 3.x version. Although it says the 3.x version is "beta", it has been optimized for use with a keyboard and is very stable. Audacity has a number of "plug-ins" that will allow you to remove noise and perform other functions. It would be nice if Studio Recorder could someday be made to enable the use of third-party plug-ins in order to leverage the work others have done and, thus, easily enhance its capabilities. I'd also like to see some more sophisticated multi-track capabilities in Studio Recorder like one finds in Audacity. Even for speech applications I think this would be useful as the other tools for producing podcasts and the like become more sophisticated as these means of communicating mature. --Pete -----Original Message----- From: studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Armando M Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 8:02 AM To: studiorecorder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [studiorecorder] removing hiss in studio recorder Hello, I was wondering, if it was possible to remove hiss within a wav file using studio recorder? I would like to be able to edit some files I recorded from a cassette onto my pc and get rid of the hissing and popping the file has. Thanks and any suggestions would much be appreciated. Armando
