if it were down to me, there would be a Spectral Selection draw tool, and a Frequency Selection toolbar. By default, if not in a spectrogram view, selecting the Spectral Selection draw tool or opening the Frequency Selection toobar would pop up a message to say that these tools require a spectrogram...

the whistling/humming noise could be coming from the computer, but I doubt that the hiss is, unless your computer makes a very audible hissing sound (some do make "shhh" noises from their fans). While recording, place yourself as far from the computer as you can to reduce the amount of fan...

does it hurt to grab too large a profile? It only hurts if the profile is not just the constant noise that you want to remove. For example, in the audio sample that you posted, there were some clicks with the "silence" at the beginning. The noise profile should not include those clicks. T...

This version has a bit more hiss than koz's version, but greater clarity of the guitar sound. I've also added a little Reverb effect (Vocal 2 setting with the "wet" turned down a bit) Blues 2-13-16-processed.wav I think the equipment is probably letting you down a bit. SM-57s are good reli...

(notch2 (notch2 (notch2 (notch2 *track* 4000 50) 3000 40) 2000 30) 1000 20) It is a series of notch filters at 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Hz. Then apply t...
