Topic: Tape Hiss reduction in Wavelab

[BobbyHurley]

Looking for help in reducing/eliminating tape hiss present on a recording. I understand that the De-Noiser plugin will do this, but I am unsure of how to use it. Is there anything else in Wavelab (v.5.0) that can accomplish this? If anyone can post a basic 1,2,3 type guide that would be awesome. Particularly, if I could reduce the hiss a little at a time (per sweep), so I could keep checking it to make sure it was not further degrafing the music.

Dolby or DBX
The trick is to "record" with the HF band expanded or level raised, then "play back" with it compressed(dbx) or level reduced(dolby)
Now do it digitally   

The noise reduction in SF, CEP, or the de-noiser plug will do you fine.
Use "Preview and play around with the settings until you're happy.

The Soundforge 2 NR plugin is direct X 8 and will work with Wavelab and Soundforge,is a bit better overall than DeNoiser
