Been using a Firepod with GarageBand since Apri, '05. Very satisfied with it. Clean, crisp recordings with a lot of depth.
One issue, though, any suggestions appreciated: When recording with the Firepod apparently my instrument is heard realtime along with the previously recorded playback, so that there are no latency issues. However, the same knob that controls my instrument volume also controls the intensity of my instrument signal into the computer, and if I dial back my instrument's volume it dials back the 'saturation' level of the recording.
Are there any ways around this, to keep 'saturation' optimum, while lowering instantaneous volume level on my instrument so that it blends with the pre-recorded tracks? Garageband's track volume slider seems to work only on playback, not while recording.
