cw noise reduction

[icarus]

I'm recording right from my synth into my mia soundcard while running cakewalk. I'm still getting a little noise I'd like to try and eliminate, that I guess is coming from the synth (or maybe better cables would help? -what kind and where?) Anyway, I don't think Cakewalk pa9 has any noise reduction feature, but the manual suggests using parametric eq to attenuate hum and high-frequency noise. Does anyone know how to do this? If so, I'd appreciate a tip. If not, can anyone direct me to any free plug-ins I could download for this purpose? Thsnks.

if you have Cooledit they have a really nice noise analyzer/eliminator that you can use in post. I think you can grab a demo at http://www.syntrillium.com/

i've already recorded everything in cakewalk. Can i run the cooledit noise reduction on my cakewalk program?

export the single noisy track to a .wav file. Then run it through CoolEdit to remove the noise. Then re-import the track into Cakwalk and bada-bing.
