Hi Diane,

another poster here has suggested Audacity, which is ok & free, but a bette=
r option would be Reaper, as this has the ability for you to adjust eq & ot=
her processing stages while the track is playing rather than the system aud=
acity uses which doesn't allow for rolling adjustments. Reaper is a low cos=
t licence program ($60 I think) but you can 'review' it for as long as you =
want.

The hiss you're hearing by the way, as you probably know, is a combination =
of the pre-amps of the recorder & the mic's self noise. The boss micro br i=
sn't made for recording in the field of course so it'll struggle a bit to g=
ive clean recordings but if you don't mind processing your recordings....
