First off, you need to see if the cassettes were recorded with any type of noise reduction such as Dolby B/C or DNR. By using the correct noise reduction system for playback, it will reduce the noise dramatically without hurting the songs themselves.

Some programs like GoldWave (http://www.goldwave.com/) let you input the sample of the noise/hiss to remove these noise/hiss from the files. You only need to run the tape where there is no music to get the noise sample. Even though GoldWave is not free, it is very affordable.

Try Effect/Filter. I assume you're using the latest version v5.06.

There is an on-line manual under Help.
