Keith, I think you meant to send this to the Audacity mail list, not to 
me directly...

Hello,

I use Windows 10 on an Aspire Switch 12

Audacity 2.1.3

Rode 3 microphone into

Behringer XENYX USB mixer into

the USB port; I use a USB hub port with four slots, one of which takes 
the output from the mixer.

I need at least one other for the USB mouse controller

No - I don't use the computer's built-in microphone

The bathroom boom might be better described as follows:

Quite suddenly as you move down from just above A3 to just below A3 the 
sound intensity falls quite dramatically; you might better call it a 
drop-out. In a day or two I'll post the recording I made.

Many thanks,

Keith
