Hiss.

Being well past the use by date for humans my hearing cuts off at about 5500Hz. 
I often receive comment that some of my recordings have hiss. With my built in 
hiss filter I don't hear it. I'm using ME66 or ME 63 mics, XLR connectors to an 
MDP500 set at 5 on the recording level. The tracks are transferred to a PC with 
a Sound Blaster card and are edited when necessary with Cool Edit pro using the 
graphic equaliser and then burned to a CD. I have Spectrogram 8 but when I set 
it to - 90db there is considerable noise over most of the audio spectrum. At - 
60db most of the noise does not show.

Any help in detecting the origin of the hiss would be appreciated. 

Stuart Fairbairn.
