I am digitizing a few old microcassette taped interviews. There is a lot of background noise - tape hiss, mostly. How can I get rid of that? Thanks for the help!

When I need to remove noise/hiss/rumble - my goto was

Waves X-Noise:

I used this for many many years. Recently I got iZotope RX5 and i really love all that it can do. So now i use their De-Noise when i need it

SPEAR is a free program. If these are voice interviews, spoken, this should work real well. Not as useful for music because of the way the program operates. Additive synthesis is the operative term, it allows you to edit as sines or partials. It then re-synthesizes the sound.

The editing is quick and easy once you start doing it.

It's sort of the way a digital hearing aid works.

The reason it may sound slightly robotic, is that if you actually edited 100% of the sines, you would need a supercomputer.
