I am using a RODE condenser "studio selection" microphone to record Classical guitar. I am using it with presonus firebox on garage band. The reverb effects and all sound great, but I get this hissing sound in the background. Is this normal, or do I need to do something to eliminate it. I was thinking about trying to record in the bathroom where the acoustics were better, just kind of a pain to set up there. Any advice would be appreciated

I dont know anything really specific about your gear.
Have you checked out the impedance and level-matching between the Rode condenser mic and the Firebox? ( these values may be switchable on your gear ) AS an example: Connect a low impedance load/input to a high impedance driver/output and you can easily overload and shortcircuit the high impedance output.
