Hi If Sound Forge is too much then perhaps Adobe Audition is too. But over the years I've found it (and its precursor, Cool Edit) to be excellent especially with the scripts in Multitrack mode. It also has pretty good Noise reduction, but for the best noise reduction with hundreds of options and presets for various equipment then Tracertek's Diamond Cut 6 is difficult to beat. It's fairly accessible and can clean up most things fairly well. Again this may be overkill for you, but the choice it offers is staggering.
