Can Audacity record from anything?

You will probably be struggling, due to the age of Mint 17.3.
It should be possible to build Audacity 2.3.3 on Mint 18 or later.
Mint 19 and later have Audacity 2.2.1 (from the main Ubuntu repository).

How many tracks in your projects?
What size do you want to resize them to?

Do you have "makup gain" enabled in the compressor settings?
Does the same happen if you use the "Amplify" effect instead of the Compressor effect?

The NT1-A USB has a "presence boost" in the range 2 to 10 kHz, rising to around +7 dB in the 5 to 6 Hz range.

Rode USB

Which model?
Most Rode mics have very good SNR (signal to noise ratio).

Ideas currently being floated suggest that 2.4.1 (or whatever it will be called) may be a long release cycle.
