As long as your equipment is working properly, and you have descent cables, just make sure you're gain staging correctly throughout the signal chain to achieve the cleanest signal. I guess, you don't have a lot of stages, so if there's noise that's not from subpar equipment (no offense) you're probably just turning the gain up to much on the berry preamps or running the fader in Audacity to high and getting excessive room noise or clipping. Make sure your mic placement is getting you the best possible signal as well. Don't record right next to your humming fridge or loud radiator or by that open window that's looking out onto the busy street. Good luck to ya!
