The Rode AI-1 arrived yesterday afternoon, and the problem seems to be fixed. I can hear myself in the headphones, the green light pops on when it hears me speaking, and most importantly, I don't have to scream into the microphone.

I only have experience with USB mics that just work, so I'm an absolute beginner here. I am using a Rode NT1 through a Focusrite Scarlett Solo. At first, I couldn't get anything wor...
