Ok, well I thought I pretty much explained it or perhaps I didn't explain it correctly. A sound print is simply a portion of sound you wish to take out of your recording, in this case a portion of hiss. You set up the noise reduction plug-in or system to capture a portion of the hiss which is called a noise or sound print, you'll usually find examples of what you wish to remove or silence to a degree in between tracks or at the start and end of recordings. Once the print is captured, its analysed by the plug-in where upon you can adjust the DB of noise you wish to be removed. Plug-ins have various additional settings which can be set up before capture takes place but again for most people they need not be changed.
