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.

dunno about the firepod, but on the firebox there is mixer software that controls the levels of the zero-latency monitoring for each channel, among other things...

nope. no control software for the Firepod that i'm aware of, other than it's drivers.
This bugs me. Like, say you want a desparate guitar screaming quietly in the background, but while recording it's hard to hear the rhythm parts. Back off enough to hear the rhythm and it loses that desparate quality either in the playing or in the sound saturation.
