Recording Rode Podcaster MG10XU USB vs Blue Yeti USB

[PodcastingLab]

I have a question about recording from my MG10XU mixer.
In the image below, the top (lasttest) is recorded with a Rode Procaster going through an MG10XU mixer USB with gain set to max.
The bottom (hwhl1) is recorded with a Blue Yeti USB with gain set to 5.

When I play them back, the bottom (hwhl1) is much louder.

Do you think the recording from the MG10XU is normal and the Blue Yeti is not normal?

Please disregard the recording settings. I recorded both on another PC using Reaper and then exported the files into this computer, and then used Audacity to see if there was any difference.

I'm thinking about using a Tascam DR-40 to record the podcast. But I purchased this mixer because it had USB.

Will Guitar Center let me return it after two weeks?

"Normal" is all relative, right?

It looks like the Blue mix is providing more gain. If it sounds good, use it.
