White Noise/Static while recording in Reaper.

Hey all, this will be my first post on the forum.
I seem to have a problem with static/white noise. even when my mic is muted on my Behringer x2222. My mic is an AKG P420.
The white noise always shows up when I normalize a track, whether I'm recording nothing or my guitar or voice. I'll put up some pictures of my configuration too. Thanks for the help in advance!

Behringer C-1 White Noise Problem

Hi! I've recently bought a Behringer C-1 and a Behringer UM2 Usb interface. Today, I've noticed that there is a white noise in the background of my recording. I've tried, like said in other threads, to change the USB port of the interface, change the cable, and I've also tried recording away from the PC. But the noise didn't go away. Any solution?

How is this wide white noise made without ANY phasing at all it seems?

Here is an example of a wide white noise effect used in a track which seems to have no phase cancellation whatsoever. If you mono the sample the white noise shows zero phasing and sounds exactly the same in mono. Any idea's on how the hell this is done? All my attempts and techniques have left me with big wide sounds but with slight phasing.

Adding white noise to a mix

Hi all,

I'm about to undertake a Hard rock album, which is generally not what i do, so its all a bit new to me.

I remember reading somewhere that some engineers add white noise to their mix to enhance the 'Wall of guitars' effect. Is this common practice? if so what should i look out for?

Thanks for any help
