Does anyone use one of the newer versions of Sound Forge with JFW 6.x?

I have a voice recording I made with a microphone on my PC which is to be
submitted to a radio show.  Despite all the tricks I could muster from
Jonathan Mosen's tutorial (older versions of each software), the voice
level came out too low.  When I normalize the recording or boost the
volume level through the software, or when I simply turn up the speaker
volume, I hear the background hum of my system.  Any ideas on how to
boost the volume of the recording and/or eliminate the hum?

Thanks.

Tony
