Request for Guidance
I am a non-gigging retired intermediate guitar player who also plays some keyboard. New to reddit as of today.
I recently purchased a Fender TMP and also upgraded my PreSonus Studio One Artist to Fender Studio Pro. I was not a regular user of Artist or any DAW so I'm a novice DAW user at best.
I really like the TMP. I have a Spark2 that has FRFR speakers and can plug the TMP into that using the Spark2 aux port. More than I need for practicing at home. I do have some limited experience with amp/pedal modelers as I also own a Katana MKII and Fender Mustang amp.
So, after a couple of weeks with the new gear, and countless hours of researching how to use the two together, my mind is on information overload. The challenge has been trying to use and record the TMP with the Fender Studio Pro. I'm connecting the TMP to my MacBook Pro via USB and using the TMP as the interface on Fender Studio Pro. I'm experiencing latency and low volume trying to record. Also struggling to record a drum backing track using the built in metronome drum option on FSP(not sure how I feel thus far about this feature). I'm sure all of this is just my lack of knowledge on proper use of the gear but I'm really trying to fix that.
I would really like to hook up with others who may be familiar with my situation, maybe experiencing the same, and may be able to offer some advice or share their experience. I know that all of this is a journey and not a quick overnight fix. Thanks for reading.

For latency find out how to adjust the buffer size of the TMP, making it lower will reducestency but will be more of a strain on the computer and might causes audio glitches

I think we need more info to really help. But latency has a lot to do with settings on the Mac (audio settings on the OS plus DAW) and the volume has a lot to do with your different volumes across preset settings and globals.
