Are you recording in mono or stereo?  I find that if I do the 
recording in mono, the low hum/buzz disappears.  (We use 
Soundforge XP as well.)

------------------
Hello fellow IALLers,

We are experiencing a lot of problems with static while digitizing
audio tapes. We clean the heads before each use, then use the 
"smooth
and enhance" feature.  This leaves a low humming noise along with 
the
impression that the recording was made in an auditorium.

We are using Sound Forge XP 4.5.  Some tapes have come out 
fine.


Has anyone else had this problem?  Or if not, do you have any
suggestions how we might fix it?

Many thinks in advance,

Becky Adae
