Getting Kemper DI's from Direct Send and SPDIF:
I'm interested to see if I need a really high quality DI box (I have less expensive ones) or if the Kemper can do it properly. I recorded an 8 bar bass riff through various different inputs/outputs and them re-amped them all with SPDIF (to see what the final results would be).
Chains:
Bass into my Saffire Pro 14 (Instrument mode switched on, on MixControl) as a reference.
Bass into Kemper going through the Direct Send into my Saffire Pro 14 (Instrument mode switched on, on MixControl).
Bass into Kemper going through the Direct Send into my Saffire Pro 14 (Instrument mode switched off, on MixControl).
Bass into Kemper going SPDIF directly to my Saffire Pro 14's SPDIF.
Now after listening back and A/Bing them, am I right in thinking (in a technical way because I appreciate you haven't heard the recordings) that the order of clearest should be:
SPDIF
Direct Send
Saffire Pro (I'm sure higher quality interfaces can produce better)
Thanks for all your time, sorry for the long post - just trying to understand my Kemper better!
