the specs don't say anything about phantom power on the fasttrack pro.

but you've listed a Eurorack Mixer - 99% of those have phantom power - which model do you have? you'll need to run the mic thru some input somewhere that has phantom power.

MX 602A Euro Mixer - real basic and small

the mic goes directly into the Interface and the interface is connected to my laptop, and the interface/mixer are connected

are you telling me I need to plug the mic to the Mixer instead? not the interface?

yes - condensor microphones need phantom power. your fast track doesn't have phantom power, but your mixer does. it needs to go to the mixer first to get phantom power.

I had a similar problem.
My MXL 990 was occasionally picking up 60 Hz hum when installed on one of my mike stands.

Solutions: grounding the stand.
I believe there was a static energy buildup o n insulated stand.

Yes, I know!
Grounding problems are not going anywhere as long as we keep using cables to connect
