Digital noise on recording

When playing through Qtractor (monitor), the sound is fine. However, when recording, I get digital noise in the file (attached).

What is going on:

Playback in real time
Synth - rakarrack - qtractor - output - no audible noise, even at maximum volume.
kluppe - qtractor - output - no audible noise, even at maximum volume.

Playback of recorded file
Synth - rakarrack - qtractor - output - audible noise in recorded file.
Synth - rakarrack - kluppe - output - no audible noise in recorded file, even at maximum volume.
kluppe - qtractor - output - audible noise in recorded file.

These experiments seem to point to qtractor.

hi Louigi,

you forgot to include a second file for having a base on comparison. i don't even know whether the one given is the noisy one or the good other :)

just guessing, probably unrelated: are you recording with "Track/Auto Monitor" turned on and the recording track happens to be the current highlighted one ? maybe you shouldn't :) recording auto-monitored audio tracks might cause a doubling and/or phasing side-effect, depending on some jack settings. the fact is that you're record the input and the auto-monitored signal in double. if lucky you just get a +3dB increase but, you know, things doesn't always run in the best of ways ;)

cheers
