I have a new setup and I need help with the gain settings on my interface. The interface is a Scarlett 2i2, the mic is a Rode NT1, and I'm recording vocals in a closet lined with 2'' Auralex foam.

Why on earth are you doing that?
A closet -- one of the worst possible places acoustically speaking -- covered in foam -- one of the worst possible treatments acoustically speaking (especially for something like a closet).
Budget, No space, Whats wrong with that?
What if the closet is the only place you have that doesn't have street, electrical box or heating/cooling noise?
It's fine to tell people that closets have problems, but don't assume they have better alternatives. (Also, how bad it is will depend on what they are recording, and how much time they've spent assessing the acoustics.)
What if you only had a 16oz cup to poop in and it was cold and people were watching? Would you expect others to suggest how to make it warm and ignore that people were watching you poop in a cup?
No, you would recommend a way to solve the issues and not create a new one by wasting money on the small cup.
Sorry for the poopy analogy, but there are much better ways to get the job done well. Understanding the issues and dealing with them is better than creating new ones IMO.

I do think that sometimes this forum gets too hung up on trying for the impossible.
