My Setup is a Alesis USB mixer into my PC 9Using USB), when using a monitor or headphones I dont think there is much hiss if any at all but when I record there is a hiss pressent. I record in to kristal.

Is there a filter I can apply?
What volume settings would be optimal on the mixer and in kristal?
Well, I'm not sure where your hiss is coming from, and maybe this would be important to nail down and fix. I would plug/unplug until you find the culprit. One thing you can always do during or after recording is use a notch filter in your eq program at about 8k.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
