Record in a quiet room with any running appliances or ambient noise stopped. Also, if your mic pre-amps are noisy, you won't get around it without replacing them.
If you're using a condenser microphone, it will pick up ambient noise FAR more than a dynamic microphone will.
Try using a Shure SM58 for vocals if you can't eliminate all noise in the recording environment.
Make sure your microphone input level is set at unity gain, then test the mic and monitor the decibel level on the recording channel. If the db's are hitting at less than -10 db, you need to raise it. Between -10 and -6 db's is prime area for correct signal-to-noise ratio on a 16 bit recording. On a 24 bit recording, you can be more lenient with your levels.
