Thanks for the tips - it's most likely the bad quality of the microphone so I'll take a look at the suggested mics after running through those tests.

I'm using a line 6 UX2. @psarkissian This might be the problem. The microphone is apparently an "Electret Condenser Microphone" - without phantom power, the microphone isn't picking up anything when connected to the ux2. This is the microphone - http://www.sony.jp/microphone/products/ECM-PCV80U/ The microphone kit came with a USB connector, which is what I used to test whether the microphone was working or not. (XLR to USB)

I'm using POD Farm 2. I've checked with the input knob, and it isn't just room noise, it's more like static. Kinda stumped on this. I've also tested the microphone via USB and it sounds relatively alright, no problems there.

Hey, so recently I bought a microphone to do some recording with, problem is that whenever I turn on phantom power the noise levels skyrocket. Is there any way to redirect these noise levels/get rid of them?
