So just plugging in the turntable via USB seems to work OK? Did the Focusrite say it can work with a Mac? Did it come with software drivers? Some multi-channel interfaces present themselves as groups of stereo channels, not all 18 at the same time. So that would give you 1 and 2 (stereo left and rig...
A note here. The first consideration for recording anything is to do it in a quiet room. Can you tell your computer is on just by listening? That can limit your choice of microphone. USB microphones shouldn't get much more than about six feet (2M) away from the computer. I have a good sound treated ...

I am astounded by the quality of the sound it can produce on its small inbuilt speaker(s). Still, I can't believe booming bass on a tiny speaker is going to go well. That's the first place I'd look for distortion problems. I would reference many USB microphones whose sub-bass trash can be louder th...
