Audio interface help in spdif

  • Hey guys, brand new Kemper owner and really loving this thing. The sound and feel are unreal and I've never been more excited about playing. I would like to get into recording but have zero knowledge on interfaces. I bought a 6i6 but after more research, was pushed towards an audient Id-14. I'm planning for spdif recording so if anyone can help me out that would be great. I was planning on staying in the $250 range but if the Audient really is better then I don't mind the extra $50 bump. But don't keep it to these two products, I'm looking for the best I can get within 250-300 max. Thanks you!


    Edit- I'll be using this with a PC, thanks for the heads up Zapman.

  • Welcome Eeyore32! Glad you like the KPA. I'm using a Scarlett 18i20 with Windows 7 / Spdif and Pro Tools and like it. Listing whether you use Windows or Mac will help others with assisting you.

  • Sorry, I feel like I'm leaving so much info out. Yes, I have the 2nd gen 6i6 running spdif into an older updated PC. Do I do all that syncing within my DAW and output section of the Kemper?

  • Great, in the kemper output setting, you might not have to do anything except mayb to adjust the SPDIF volume but for now there's nothing to do.
    .
    The mix software that comes with the scarlet is where you set the scarlet as a slave this can be easily accomplished by setting "Sync Source" to :External: and not internal, This is very important for SPDIF to work properly with Kemper.

    Is that a general thing? Slightly OT (sorry) but I had clicks with my Apollo twin and perhaps this is why?
