Hiss Here?
21/11/09 15:07
One of our CD ripping clients emailed me. He's upgraded to some high quality head phones and now notices a short hiss on certain tracks just before the music starts. Is this usual?
Our client is much younger than me and its a fact your hearing gets less precise as you get older so I'm not surprised that try as I might I can'r hear it on my music, either through headphones or decent speakers. So the best I could do is suggest a way round this if the hiss is becoming intrusive.
If you highlight the offending track, then right click (Get Info) then you to the tab Options, part way down you'll see a box for Start Time. The blank box shows minutes and seconds. If you put an entry here iTunes will miss out that part of the music file. The setting can be changed or removed safely - but you can use it to edit out anything at the beginning of the track that you don't want to hear.

I wish we'd thought of this but the idea originally came from a client. She wanted something for her husband who after many years of success in business pretty much had everything.
Except all his CDs loaded onto his iPod.
So we made up a certificate entitling him to having all his CDs loaded onto his iPod by us. Husband was duly pleased with his present, a few days later we collected his CDs and early in the New Year happy Xmas husband had all his CDs on his iPod.
It's an idea we've run with every year since, and we're doing it again this year. More details on our Christmas gift page.
