Dec 27, 2007 05:43 am yeah, hiss=gain staging....
start with EVERYTHING zeroed out...all faders at 0db (not all the way down) all mic pre's counter clockwise, and all main outputs at -infinity....
hiss happens early in the signal path and gets amplified over and over again, which more prominence in the mix...so it's best to nip this one in the bud....check all your preamps, and make sure all that are not being used are all the way down....maximize your headroom by keeping channel and main faders at 0db (unity).
also on this topic, read up on "signal to noise ratio" this is a common speck in darn near all audio gear....this is the amount of noise it produces.
