Primer needed on bit rate and sample depth

Primer needed on bit depth and sample rate

I understand the basic concepts of these two parameters, but what I cannot understand is how one decides what settings to use in recording. My naive intuition tells me that if a CD is limited to 16/44.1, and if the songs being recorded are going to go to CD, then there is no benefit to recording at any higher rate.

my metronome is gone. .

I got Cubase 5... running thru a Tascam US-1641 to 2 Alesis studio monitors. butttt when i enable the 2 measure click before recording or enable a click track to play nothing happens. if i use the 2 measure click thing, it waits but theres no sound. sometimes if i just click around in the song it will let out 1 big loud click, but thats all. what happened and how do i fix it?

Acoustic Guitar pick up doesn't work on the interface

Recently I decided to record some acoustic tracks in n-track, and while my pick up seems to work on my amp it won't even pick up the sound on my interface and barely on my boss br-1200. The pick up is Dean markley. I think it might not meet some type of weird power requirement kinda of like a phantom powered mic, but then again I'm new to this.
