Connecting Kemper to active monitors

You guys are awesome, thanks!

I'm also now having issue with my spdif since new kpa arrived

im on win 8, 6gb ram, i7 quad 3ghz, 128gb SSD, 500gb hhd, studio one 2 and using mbox 2

I'll have a s/pdif equipped Focusrite 6i6 tomorrow and will see how I make out and report back. I'm using WIndows 7 but maybe it'll help you. Your computer's specs look good as far as I can tell.

Thx, yes it's a powerhouse so it handles everything but I should refer to instruction manual

If it's reamping you want to do there are some good video tutorials. Too complicated for me but they may do the trick for you if reamping is what you're after:

Mute the volume on your speakers/headphones:

I'll be doing the less ambitious set-up where the full wet signal goes through to the interface. I'll see how it goes and if that's what you want maybe I'll have something useful to add later tonight.

Well, I have s/pdif issues too.

But first, the Focusrite 6i6 is awesome: I can record easily with XLR, which my Steinberg UR22 could not do -- Kemper was way too hot for it and needed TRS. Recordings on the 6i6 are excellent out of the box, much better than the best I got from the Steinberg.

But I'd like to try s/pdif. Currently, I have one s/pdif cable going from Kemper OUT to Focusrite IN. Just looking to record the full rig, no reamping. Now, if I still need 2 s/pdif cables to do this, then I made (another) rookie mistake and I need another cable. However, Audacity recognizes the 6i6 with just the one s/pdif cable plugged in. So I wonder if some kind of setting problem is behind the fact that it's not picking up my guitar signal with a waveform.

Figured it out. Went into Reaper and in the device set-up section all I had to do was select S/PDIF:

Sound quality on initial test:

XLR > S/PDIF

Both are very good, but just that little bit better for XLR. Could be a tweak here and there to get them equal but I think I'll probably stick to XLR.
