Every time I record guitars with distortion there's always a hissing sound. And I don't mean it hisses when I'm not playing. You can hear the hissing throughout the track. I've recorded direct with Guitar Rig 5, Amp sims w cab impulses like lepou le456, tse x50, EZMix 2, and I've also recorded with mic'd amps. My guitar track is always hissing.

Listen to this one that I made:

Just guitars (2 guitars panned 100% L-R):

You can hear the hissing throughout the guitar track right? This one was recorded with EZMix 2. with one of the frederik presets. Don't tell me to use cab sims cause I hate how they make things sound and I can still hear the hiss. I can't use real amps anymore because the outlets in my house are sucky.

I see people on YouTube using the same products as me and it sounds fine. What's going on?! HELPP!!

my guitar is an ESP M-17 seven string direct into a Presonus 22vsl audiobox that goes into my laptop. I use FL Studio.
 
"Sucky" power outlets?
I think you should put music on hold and sort out your electrics before somebody dies.

You also seem to have a problem with "the magic word"?

Dave.
 
Have you tried a different distortion plug? If the sound is Okay without distortion, but then sounds hissy with, it's probably the distortion. There is a lot of hiss on the picosong, but not enough that I don't think it could be removed with EQ.
 
Yea it sounds fine without distortion. I've tried a few different amp sims and programs like Guitar rig 5, amplitube, Lepou, etc. This latest one with EZmix 2 is actually the best it's sounded so far, but that white-noiseish hiss is always there.

Shitty outlets
 
Don't know how outlets could be the problem with a plug in and not without...:confused:
Has to be something else. Unless the noise is already there and the distortion hits the right freqs to pump up the noise.
