Recording bass with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

Hey everbody,

I recently bought a Fast Track Pro USB audio interface thinking that I would be able to get something cool from it by directly plugin my bass, then use Guitar Rig 5 to simulate an amp. It works, but the thing is that sounds like crap ! Am I doin something wrong ? Is there anything that is missing to my setup ? Im runnin on a brand new Macbook Pro with Ableton Live 8.

M-Audio Fast Track, acoustic guitar direct in, and Garageband

Tips/Tricks? I have a Martin with a fishman pickup. Maybe if I could just start there? What are some ideal pick up settings for recording? On the M-Audio I have the gain up to about 9 o clock. Anything below that and the sound is just too thin. But the downside is that I clip when I go to pluck the lower strings with any aggression at all.

Tips for newbie ...M-Audio Fast Track mkii plus Fishman guitar pickup

So I recently purchased the M Audio Fast Track (mkii) to do some home recordings of my acoustic guitar. I'm plugging directly in to the interface and using Garageband to record. I've done a few test recordings which sound semi-decent but everything is just a little thin and chords don't sustain very well. CAn I adjust something through the guitar pick up to get ideal sound?

M-Audio Fast Track Ultra always resets to 44.1khz when recording in Logic 9?

I'm using my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra with Logic Pro 9, and it seems to be limited to a 44.1khz sample rate for some reason? If I go in the Audio MIDI setup utility on my macbook pro, I can set the sample rate for the Fast Track there to the maximum (96khz). I can also do the same in the Fast Track's control panel software.

Sonar X1 & Fast track problems

OK, here goes. trying to get set up, I have a new computer (windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, 6 GB RAM, pentium i5) and just got Sonar X1 installed. The computer is only days old so no issues with it being bogged down with background activity etc. I use an M-Audio Fast Track with an SM57. Playback has lots of pops and cracks regardless of the latency and sample rate settings on the Fast Track.
