Hey Guys,
I was curious to know if there is a way to record the DI track completely silent? In other words, as I'm monitoring/recording is there anyway to exclusively hear the spdif wet track while simultaneously capturing the spdif dry DI in the DAW? It's pretty distracting hearing the spdif R/L blended during the recording process.
Thanks again! 
This would be dependent on how your DAW and interface are set up. If you have a "virtual mixer" app (like the UAD Console), you should be able to do it there. If you monitor through your DAW, you should be able to mute the DI track in the DAW.
Very simple. Just mute the DI track in your daw. That's what I always do.
Another recommendation to read up on your audio interface and virtual mixer so you know exactly what's making it to your monitors.
Is there a way to adjust the spdif R/L output levels within the KPA? Or would that compromise the quality of the DI track?
That would affect the signal being sent to your DAW. As others have stated, you have to do this in your DAW or mixing software.
Another option (potentially only if anyway available or useful for other use cases too) is an external mixer (hardware). I use a simple one in my monitoring path (actually not in the signal flow which is recorded in order to not compromise any quality). With the mixer I can easily dial in what I want to hear over my monitors, especially the balance between backing track coming from DAW and Kemper output (which I sometimes pan to one side in order to get a feeling how iit would sound later in the mix).
So SPDIF goes into the DAW and I listen exclusively to the main outs of the Kemper via my mixer.
I always send mi DI and wet tracks to separate track on the DAW rather than one Stereo track. You can mute the DI track independently of the wet track.
Thanks for all the input guys! Silencing the DI track was simply done by lowering the volume all the way to zero within focusrite's mixer console. Same recording quality, I just can't hear it during monitoring/recording/mixing which was my goal. Then I mute the track in the DAW so it's muted at all angles.
And yes, that's correct, spdif L/R to DAW = two separate tracks, one wet, one dry (DI). Next time I'll tinker more before posting here, I just get so excited talking shop with all of you.
Excellent!
