recording music first time, please help

I'm trying to record some bass tracks using Cubase 5 and a fast track usb plugin . Windows 7 64-bit. I can get Cubase to register the sound levels of the bass, however when I actually record, the sound doesn't show up in the top part. Basically, the recording remains a straight line instead of showing the sound being recorded like I've seen in youtube videos.

FireWire for PC?

I am currently considering a new digital interface for recording. I am looking at several different products such as PreSonus and Tascam. The PreSonus unit I am looking at is Firewire based and the Tascam is USB. The PreSonus is nice in that you can keep adding units to increase capabilities.

MS Recording Questions

I have a question about M/S mic technique. I really like it, but why does the left channel get louder when I raise the volume of the "M" mic panned center against the "S" mic channels? The Left and right channel was created in my DAW by cloning a track from the S mic, then flipping the right channel out of phase and hard panning both channels hard L and R.

Interface overloaded

Hi (beginner here):

I'm recording a guitar amp. I'm using a RODE NT1 thru a Peavey VMP2 pre, right to the interface (Audiophile 2496). But as I turn up the volume I get the interface input overloaded, even with the pre -20db input pad enabled.

Do I need to get into a console after the pre in order to attenuate the signal?

Thanks in advance!
