i think the original guy is right on.  for a little bit of effort you
can get that hiss out and be proud of what you have created.  the
music is right on from a compositional standpoint, now you just need
that little extra boost that clean engineering can get you.

electronic music is HARD!  most guitar bands just worry about learning 
to play their instruments and let the studio geeks figure out the
sound part.  most electronic musicians record & mix their own tracks.
so not only do you have to be an artist but you have to be a
technician as well.  it is quite possible to be good at both jobs. it
just takes more work.

duh.  if the hiss was not intended by the composer, then he is totally 
justified in wanting to get rid of it!
