hey guys I have been working on a particular project for a long time now, and some of the stuff being recorded at home, 2 of the more acoustic songs have a good amount of hiss.
while I was at the studio the engineer really wanted me to try and retract the guitars with a better signal, but no matter what I can't seem to capture the same vibe as the originals with hiss.
He did seem to be screwing with some plugins that seemed to take out a good amount of the hiss, and also it seemed cutting the highs really helped, to be honest it could be classified as an indie/mid-fi record, and I don't really have a problem of those guitars being kinda washed out in favor of the hiss that comes from a pronounced high end.
can these tracks be saved?

I've had a bit of a similar problem before.
I found my magic bullet.

Some hiss could be coming from the preamps set too hot, or the room itself. Try soundproofing around he mic more. Good mikes pick up everything. 4 future tracking try converting a closet or something into a vocal booth for guitar. Or build a booth with wood. Nails. Glue , and foam.

I once cleaned up a friend's audio from an interview capture of his that had a lot of electrical interference and/or preamp hiss, which I am guessing is the sound you described. I used an EQ to roll off the highs from 8000Hz at 48dB/oct. Did a pretty good job of eliminating the hiss, it became barely audible, the voices were affected little if at all. Then again, that was voice and this is guitar. The bottom line is that there is no bottom line. If it sounds good then it is good.
