It's a tough task to clean up a multitrack recording. For individual instruments, vocals or spoken word however you can often get away with it. Yes, I agree.

Here's what I have discovered through the process: Even the samply you select will likely contain some elements of the good stuff you want to keep. When you apply a noise filter to a full multitrack recording, you will lose anything that even comes close to any part of the sample you have selected. Result = bad overall sound. I have had some good, however limited, results when applying a filter to a single track, like my electric guitar. I can fairly effectively remove the hiss from the distortion pedal being on, without completely destroying the essence of the guitar tone. Final comment: Always strive for the best possible sound going INTO the recording device. Howdy,
