I'm exchanging the Solo for a Rode AI-1 to see if that fixes the issue. If not, I'm out of ideas.

Rode Audio Interface 1. Do post back how it goes.
I'm on the edge of my seat. It makes my knees tingle, but we'll deal with it.

Re: Recording using Rode NT1 so quiet I can barely hear anything
The Rode AI-1 arrived yesterday afternoon, and the problem seems to be fixed. I can hear myself in the headphones, the green light pops on when it hears me speaking, and most importantly, I don't have to scream into the microphone. I do have to speak up a bit, but nothing like with the Scarlett Solo. So mission accomplished.

Good to hear you're working and thanks for the brief review.
There is one test that stumped the Sweetwater people. If you set Audacity to playback to the AI-1, can you hear your live voice and the Audacity playback at the same time? Setting Direct Monitor on my Behringer interface will do that.
This doesn't affect you at all, but is a big deal for the musical overdubbing performers.
