Audio Recording Issues

Alright, I need some assistance from people more knowledgeable on this than I. I have recorded multiple works for Bunny before without issue, suddenly I am having continuing problems with mic-hiss and echoing, even after making upgrades to my set up. Audio samples enclosed below.

Set up is a Rode NT1-A Large Diaphragm Condenser mic with a shock mount and pop filter, set up in a Troy Studio Portable Sound Recording Vocal Booth Box, run through a Line 6 UX2 audio interface that currently has the gain turned completely down, into Audacity set to Windows DirectSound on a Mono recording channel. The mic and booth are set on a mic stand set to standing height in my basement on a carpeted floor, I typically stand while recording, several feet away from the computer reading off a tablet.

If it is something that could be relevant, samples 1 and 2 are read off a tablet, 3 from a book

If this is not what you were looking to see let me know, it's a fairly new set up I'm working with, though as I said I've made successful recordings multiple times, these are all relatively new issues

Thank you so much for your response, I purposefully record a fair distance away from the computer or vents so I would lean towards the pre-amps, I will get a screenshot for you soon. Is there anything specific you need/want to be able to see?

As for the booth, is there a portable sound booth you would recommend, preferably one that isn't too expensive?
