REALLY need some HELP! Bad!
Gear Facts:
Les Paul>>>>>>KPA PowerRack>>>>>> Mesa 4x12, no outboard gear, real straight forward.
The Live stage plan that should have worked:
#1 Run 4x12 backline by powered Kemper so both the band and I have some stage levels. #2 give sound guy left main out and let him do his thing (mono live PA, so no need for stereo outs, so yes, again very simply "Mr. Sound Guy, here is your XLR left main out from my KPA... have fun with it. Mr. Soundguy was like "cool man". Done deal.
Now, for what actually happened that night...
During sound check everything was cool, 4x12 sound was good, midi switching working KPA doing great. I'm noodling around on sound check like we all do and "boom" sound guy starts bringing up stage monitors that my guitar is in the mix and I instantly have an obnoxious ridiculous 1 second or longer "echo" going on that should in no way be there. I know what your thinking... No I do not have effects on this setting, it was a dry stack only. So I start focusing on this problem and trouble shooting. I pick a single note on my guitar and wait and listen, right? (that's what you would do). Here is what was actually happening. I pick the note and my 4x12 is sounding that note perfectly (you know, accurate with no latency) THEN!!!!! One second later that same note comes through the monitor mix. I am getting a ridiculous bounce! So, of course it HAS TO BE THE SOUND GUYS FAULT, RIGHT???? OF COURSE IT IS LOL!!!! "YO, Soundguy fix your latency delay thing you got going on there buddy !!!" He goes scrambling, can't find anything causing it on his end, but is hearing the problem. We both agree " let's unplug the KPA left main out and just mic my cabinet. So, we did... BAM!!!! problem solved. Whole issue went away instantly. I apologized to the sound guy and recognized the issue was on my end, not his. The show went on, rig still sounded good using the KPA and just micing the cab, but I did not get to experience letting the KPA running direct to FOH.
Any ideas on why I have a ridiculous very pronounced delay between two outputs on my KPA? I have not a clue and I'm sure it's a setting somewhere / operator error issue. I have a show this Saturday night and would sure like to have this resolved before hand.
Any help comments are greatly appreciated.
