That's the best way with wavelab unless you've got third party plug-ins to use.  You could roll off the top with a low pass filter, but you'd be killing program and noise in equal measure.  If you could "just remove hiss" we wouldn't be spending so much money for quiet preamps.  I prefer diamondcut software, quite affordable, for most types of noise removal.

I swear there is some way to just cut out the freq the hiss is in.  i just don't know how  ???

the plugin is very generic.  three eq bars and that is it.

Are you talking about the Denoiser plugin?

The Noise Removal function in Audacity is super...just keep it set a minumun and make sure you have a "noise only" sample...

Hiss covers a frequency range.  You can greatly reduce those frequencies with a notch filter (very sharp eq), but you'll cut out the music in that frequency range too and possibly degrade the remaining frequencies by applying such a heavy filter.   In days of yore when very little program content may have been captured above 7 or 10 or 12 khz this was sometimes a solution.

Try downloadng the free (legit) version of Diamondcut and playing around with it.
