I generally export from Audacity as WAV, burn a copy to CD as a backup, then use LameDrop (a free mp3 encoder that is quick and easy to use) to convert from WAV to MP3. iTunes could also be used for the encoding, or any one of the other mp3 encoders available.

You've set the record volume "maxed out" where? On the Samson L3200?

See if you can record at 48000 Hz (by setting the default in Audacity's Preferences).
If you need to Export at 44100 Hz, use the "Project Rate" box in the lower left of the main Audacity screen to change to 44100 before you Export.
