First off I'll say I have an AT4040 connected to an XLR to USB converter, connected to a USB port on my PC, and my DAW is Acid Pro 6.0.
Anything I record always has a buzz/hiss noise in the background regardless of what noise is going on in the room. Even if I unplug my mic and hit record, instead of there being no sound at all, there is JUST the buzz and hiss! I tried windows sound recorder and it does the same thing, so I doubt its my software, and I tried my backup mic (B1) and it does the same, so it can't be the mic. I've been using the same setup for a year now and this never happened, although I have moved to a different house. Could it have to do with bad wiring or something?
