The purists will cringe as that is a "rock band" microphone, but it has a lot of the characteristics needed for home podcasting and audio books, and it doesn't cost a million dollars. It's almost unbreakable (although I would not try to break it, or blow into it or any microphone).

That's odd..........??

So to recap. You started out life with the little microphone USB cable which was insanely convenient, but didn't work very well.

Audacity default audio sound quality is 44100 (lower left Audacity window) and if you choose the default export, it will give you a 16-bit WAV music file. Audio CD format is 44100/16-bit...

1) It (still) does not measure below -60 dB (not required for its intended purpose).

I don't agree. It's very good to know how far below. -61 is brittle/borderline and easily pushed over the edge.
