Ah, unfortunately the Solo is months and months out of the return window
But, that is an excellent suggestion and it just may be worth doing that if I end up with another mic I don't like or if it has the same issue.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Well, that would make sense. Thanks so much for helping me out on this journey. My return window is just closing so I think I'll return it for now and try a different mic, which knowing my luck will come with a whole new set of problems... Worst case I can return that and purchase the Rode NT1 again...

I'm looking for specs on the Rode AI-1 (Audio Interface Number One). My mic is the Rode NT1-A (linked below), I'm not sure if that's the same thing or different than the Rode AI-1 but just wanted to bring it to your attention in case it's different! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QAUOKS/re...

I have no idea. This is the first I heard of serious sound degeneration from ACX. They're usually the ones jumping up and down about sound quality. I know, that's why I'm so baffled... ACX even lets me view download the exact files I submitted to them, which when comparing to what they published is...

I can't wait for the results of the wall power test. Ah yes. I've actually tried this test a bunch of different times, I had the same idea. No change at all (unfortunately.. I wish that was it). I tried unplugging the charger from the laptop all together, I also tried two different outlets all toge...

Both the Zoom H5 and H6 support external XLR microphones. Oof, I don't think I can afford more equipment, even for a couple hundred dollars. Though I am open to the idea, I just don't think I can spend more money on it right now. :| If I did invest in one, the drawback is that I would have to recor...

If you click on the recording sound meters, it should say "Start Monitoring?" and say yes. That allows you to listen to your microphone through Audacity without starting a recording. Still beeping? Yes, actually that was part of my test last night. No beeping when I listened through the "start moni...

Let us know. Koz Alright so, I followed your instructions and even turned up my gain to really make sure I was hearing everything loudly. When I monitored myself before recording through the "playthrough", there actually was no beep at all. The moment I hit record, the beep started and continued co...

I only hear it in the recording after it’s done. I do have direct monitoring on and there is no beep before or during recording, only after when I click play and listen back.

Good question - as far as I know my hearing is perfectly normal!
