Hi Koz,
I only have Safari, Pages, and Avast open when I'm recording audio. Otherwise my fans have the potential to kick in and ruin my recordings. I do use iCloud for syncing contacts but not audio or anything heavy or complex. When I hit Apple > Shut Down the machine shut down very quickly. My computer is a brand new MacBook Pro (15", 2019) running MacOS Catalina 10.15.5
Maybe I should call Apple and see if there is an audio specialist who can identify the problem.
Another option might just be to make more noise! I'm a voice & speech instructor so I have excellent breath control. I can let that slip a little. Also, if I keep my closet door open a few inches I will definitely get more room tone and even a little ambient noise through my bedroom window. That seems like a strange fix but if it helps then I'm willing to try it!
