I know next to nothing about this--and would actually like to see someone confirm or reject this advice--but here's something I found on an Internet forum a year or two ago. One person said: Take any eq, and dial in a single band with a narrow q. Then boost the band to the max and sweep it across the entire spectrum until the noise pops out. Then, just cut that frequency and adjust q to taste. It works even better if you loop a small 'room tone' section that just contains the offending noise and not a bunch of other stuff. Another person added: To elaborate a little further on what he said, use a peak (not shelf) EQ set to a narrow Q (bandwidth), set it to a high level of boost and sweep its frequency across the spectrum until the noise is most exaggerated. Be careful with monitor levels as you do this, as the offending frequency could get quite loud. Once you've found the frequency, fine tune it by narrowing the Q even further and sweeping the frequency in minimum steps until the noise is most accurately spotted. Then, without changing the Q, fully attenuate the EQ band. If the noise disappears, try less cut until you hear it again, then back down again until it's gone, but no more. This way you the minimize side effects. If it's still there after the initial attenuation setting, then try widening the Q until it's gone. If that doesn't quite fix it, or if there is too much unwanted effect on the overall sound, try adding in a second (or third, or fourth) band set to the same frequency to increase the attenuation. If it's available, Waves Q10 is an excellent EQ for this application, but most parametric style EQs (adjustable boost/cut, frequency, and bandwidth) will do a good job too.

Hey! That's not flamenco ;) I just listenned with cheap headphones (what I have here) and with those I can hear the hiss at the beginning and at the end, in silent parts, not sure, with these headphones, if it's still there when you acutally play. I'm no expert by the way, just sharing this from my own experience. Escribano's ACG is still very possible, in my case it was a little easier, it was hissing constantly, old or crapy camera, I just stoped using it. I think I see a window open at the back, I would normally want that closed. But what kind and model of camera is it? And I would definitely try some of my friend's camera to test them out.
