I have not heard any hiss either, and I have come this far with it I would like to finish it, I will look into what you have mentioned as far as errors and also listen again for this "tape hiss" but as many people have said about any audio edits they have done, these are never going to be 100% perfect, I am not a sound studio, and don't have access to thousand dollar equipment LOL, but for what I am doing here, I think I have something very much usable(I hope).
and 1 thing always comes to mind whenever I do a project, you will never please everyone, that is just the way it is.
I will go back and take a listen to your points of interest, I also thank you tremendously for taking the time to find them, and if you and Darth Mallwalker are doing this to than that is cool to, the more the merrier.
