I have a bunch of songs that I recorded on my analog 4-track that I transferred to my PC and there is some hiss on the songs. How do I reduce it or get rid of the hiss?

There are several 'pro' audio restoration utilities (that do things like hiss and crackle reduction) that I know of that are around the £600 mark (Waves, Sony, Bias).
The cheapest one I know is Bias Sound Soap which i've seen for £72.

I haven't used any of them.

you can use a dobly system(dbx are well knowned) on your analog rec;hard to find but its neccessary to increase dynamic on small analog rec like is probably yours it had sometimes a small compression on your sound i found it on mine really nice. i think the better way to reduce tape hiss is to reduce it on your recorder.

A few years back i bought the audio editor "soundforge" because it has a built-in noise-reduction feature which works quite ok.

actually the noise reduction plug-in can be bought separately for $280. There is also a free trial version: see the webpage
i first worked with the trial version which lasts a week and later decided to get the whole program

in the meantime there may be more advanced noise reduction tools. i heard that wavelab has a noise reduction plug-in which works in realtime.
comparison wavelab/soundforge here
