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?

Edit:

Didn't read the whole post. Oops.

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.
