Greeting and question!

Hi all im a new so i want to say hello.

And second,

Hi, I am running Audacity 2.3.3 on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.

I have learned how to use my MAC terminal to enable recording on Audacity, but I am not able to achieve the audio quality I've always enjoyed, even with the same settings and equipment.

I have an external USB mic and headset system (headset plugs into the mic, not into the Mac) and have both the MAC and the Audacity input and output settings mapped to the external USB device. However, when I playback what I've recorded, it sounds like I am recording from the internal mic... that is, there is a lot of "roominess" and echo, as though I am standing far away from the mic, even though it is only inches away. It almost sounds as though my internal mic is picking up the record, but I can see that my external is registering in the input.

Even after applying noise reduction, reducing the gain, and experimenting with various effects, I can't get rid of the echo of it. I keep wondering if there is some other way to disable my internal mic to make sure it is not recording, but I don't see anything. i've watched many YouTube videos and read through Audacity manual, but haven't found anything that helps.

Tks in advance!
