Depending on what your real life device is, you should be able to send sound back. Does that work? Generate > Tone: Sine, 440, 0.8, 10 seconds. Play it to the mixer or whatever you have. Are you using 44100, 16-bit as your sound preferences? No matter what your device says it can do, they can all do...

It's possible to get errors like that with bad filenames. Upper case, lower case, numbers, -dash- and _underscore_. No other characters in filenames.

Use the ISO dates. 2019-01-30. Do not use either slash mark /\ anywhere in a filename.

Unless they changed it in the one that came out a week or so ago, Minis don't have an internal microphone. You should be able to connect your USB mixer, wait about a count to five and then start Audacity. Don't do it the other way 'round. Click the microphone symbol and you should find a device othe...

Did you get the spidery shock mount with the microphone? If you knock the microphone with your knuckle, does it juggle a little? Screen Shot 2019-01-30 at 15.31.56.png If you did get the shock mount, does your sound cable have a gentle bend or loop in it? The cable should not be tight. That can tran...

But you're right, it would be good not to have to do that. You can get hum like that from desk or other lamps. I had an early LED desk lamp that make a really quiet buzzing noise. Any fluorescent lamp can do that. I need to look at your equipment list again, but can you do a test recording on laptop...

Lame is for exporting MP3.

FFMpeg is a different program.

File > Export > Export Audio > Custom FFMpeg exports. Is your format in those lists?
