Whats with the white noise?

[thorns12321]

I recent got some cables and adapters just to try out recording on my computer.
So i plugged my guitar(and bass) into my amp. Then my amp to computer.
Then i record using Window's sound recorder.
Well, it didn't went well. After recording, i played back to check on it.
I hear alot of white noise. :O Its like morse code.

Well i uploaded it to Youtube, after processing then can seeee.
Excuse the playing.

One more thing, when i compress/ lower quality of the video, the white noise seemed to die out. :O

Whats going on?

Unless your computer soundcard is designed to do audio recordings, it'll most likely have these white noise that you speak of.

These white noise could also be from dirty inputs and outputs both from the amp and also the soundcard.

My suggestion would be to get a Line 6 POD GX (affordable) if you really want to record your guitar in a better quality.

Ive got problems with white noise when I used my UX1 with my laptop.. My guess is either the sound card or the USB port is not compatible. UX1 into my PC works perfectly fine.

Wierd.. I only get noise on laptop when I've got too many VSTs running and recording multiple tracks. But apart from that, its fine.

Sounds more like feedback.
Or if your mic has that noise cancellation thingy, it might mess with the sound.
