Ok, so I'm a sucker 'cause I just got a used VX2000, unaware of the awful hiss in the audio...

what I'd like to know is... will it be relatively easy for me (w/a noise reduction program like SoundSoap) to get rid of that hiss pretty cleanly and easily in post production?

Any wisdom much appreciated!

Sound Soap Pro is awesome, I'm showing it here at the NAMM show and at Sundance Film Festival as well. I love it. Sony's Noise Reduction is *slightly* better for a tiny bit less, but if you're on the Apple cart, you'll need either Soap or WAVES. Getting rid of hiss is relatively easy.

So is the vx2000 hissy or is there something about the way you're feeding it that it doesn't like?''

I doubt it's the VX, but rather more the mic/pre that it's being fed, only because I've worked with the VX a fair amount. It's got noise, but not hiss. Hum, yes. In fact, I've got a VX preset built for my Noise Reduction tool.
