Hey! Since I made this video, I've more than doubled the number of tips and ideas for solving these issues - these and more can be found in my ever expanding book, available to the good people who make this channel possible on Patreon:

This ground loop isolator is getting good reviews on Amazon:
► amzn.to/2CfYvZk
NOTE: Only use balanced (TRS) cables for instruments that have balanced inputs AND outputs, otherwise it won't work well and may degrade the quality of your sound
If you're getting noise because of a USB cable connected to your instrument, a USB isolator might do the trick. There are a few of these, here's one I tested - it's on the expensive side but has interesting connectivity options:

If all else fails, use a DI box. In general - use a passive box for a powered source (synths), and an active box for a passive source (guitar with magnetic pickups). Here's a good one passive DI box:
► amzn.to/2Pzgqmb
For non-audio cable noise like ethernet or USB - Get a ferrite choke here (remember: no choking any ferrets!!):
► amzn.to/2RNRSTr
Audacity is free and awesome:

After making this video I tried out Brusfri from Klevgrand and it's highly recommended:
