I'm going into a pre-amp to a tape deck(Akai),then to my computer.There's quite a bit of tape hiss by the time the samples get to the wave editor.The instrument I'm sampling isn't very loud so I have to just about max everything.I've been using the noise reduction in my wave editor but I'm not crazy about the results.
I remember not liking the built in noise reduction on my previous tape deck which was a Fostex 8-track.Should I possibly look into a separate noise reduction unit?I remember the DBX reduced tape hiss quite a lot on my Fostex but altered the sound a lot too.That might not be so bad since I'm just sampling.
Any ideas?
Thanks again,
