Best way to profile scuffham s-gear or other software emulation

    Hi Forum,
    did anyone try to profile software emulation? Is it the same way best like profiling a real amp? I gave it a try but the result was not satisfying.
    The setup:
    Guitar -> Kemper -> Direct out (send) -> Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 in -> Scuffham S-Gear -> Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 out -> Yamaha DXR 12 (FRFR Box) -> Sure SM 75 -> Kemper Return -> Start Profiling


    I had to put the Mic very close (to reach a right level) but then i had to choose the 12" OR the Tweeter of the DXR12. So i choosed the 12"...


    May be there is a possibility to to this stuff with out mic? Or other ideas or experiences?


    Thanks in advance
    Harald

    why would you mic a FRFR monitor, instead of going direct? :D


    Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 out -> Kemper Return


    from the Profiling Guide 3.0:
    "Connections for Profiling a Computer-Based Guitar Amp Simulation
    •• Connect your guitar to the INPUT of the Profiler.
    •• Connect the DIRECT OUTPUT/SEND from the Profiler to the appropriate input on your computer’s audio interface.
    •• Route the output of your guitar amp simulation software to a specific hardware output of your computer’s audio
    interface.
    •• Connect this output to the RETURN INPUT of the Profiler.
    ✔✔Be sure to disengage the noise-gate in your guitar amp simulation software before profiling it."

    Don, thank you that you have yet replied, although it is clearly written there. I've overlooked this part...
    Indeed this makes more sense than my setup ;)
    By the way, "The Healer" from Scuffham's "S-Gear" is the best Marshall Sim i have ever heard.
    It's a bit like Plexi and Park mixed together.
    So i will try how Kemper will simulate a simulation.

    Don't you mean "The Stealer" ?


    Agreed on S-Gear! I've begun many projects using it as a placeholder with the intent of reamping later with the Kemper, and ... not bothering. It's just that good. ;) If you happen to be a SONAR user, PM me and I'll pass along some detailed sim-profiling tips.

    Sure "The Stealer" ;)
    I have Sonar but i'm using Reason. But profiling tipps are good anyway...
    When someone is interested into the profiled S-Gear "The Stealer" i can give the Profile-File.
