Re: remastering my master, hisssssssssssssssy...

I hate to say it but the processed version sounds completely muffled, all the sparkle and life is taken out of the highs, like a blanket over the speaker. Not only the hiss is removed, most of the cymbals as well! Just listen to it side by side. My profile I put up doesn't sound any better than your efforts on the new sample (to try it, unzip then go to effects>noise reduction>noise reduction>load profile from file and find the .fft file).

I recommend making a nr'ed version for yourself and sharing the raw and perhaps normalized version (be sure to check the correct dc offset box). I've made some bad mistakes with heavy-handed nr when I first tried it, and also use it all the time for work but in this case I would stay away from it... its sucking the life out of the sound. some hiss is much more preferable.
