    Yeah, but that noise doesn't matter in the mix. The signal is magnitudes louder than the noise, and you can always ride the sliders to minimize hiss in quiet sections. Unless you're trying to record a tube amp at extremely low volumes. . . . but then you're going to run into the more pressing issue of sucky tone.

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

      yeah, they use to add noise to perfect recordings, just to "make it sound better" :o
