I have exactly the same issue and im on the newest version for everything. These volume dropouts happen unregularly so I'm 100% it's not imaginary like some guys said in the other thread...
This is an old link, but it still sounds exactly the same. Yes, i updated to the newest version.
I've never encountered that. I always use DT in stereo though.
I've used the DT on all of my in-ear Profiles since it was released. Admittedly, there are dropouts here and there - and hopefully those bugs will be ironed out - but the pure enjoyment of my guitar sounding SUPER WIDE through in-ears is worth the minor issues. The effect is incredible!
Finally tried the double tracker out. I was happy to discover that it didn't produce glitchiness when switching rigs. I thought that perhaps because it applied a delay of sorts it might have an issue of getting cut off abruptly (I used it in the mod slot, not the delay or reverb slots which have spillover, and no issue, even though the mod block doesn't have spillover).
I think it can be used as an always on effect for live use, if you use a more subtle with the looseness set at 3 and stereo spread at 60%. I find anytime you turn on or off an effect that applies a significant stereo image, there's that awkward spacial thing that makes the instrument sound like it's moving, which it is. With these settings, the effect is subtle enough that it thickens things up without screaming "listen to my doubled guitar." Now with that said, even with these settings, you still notice that spacial jump especially with headphones if you turn it on or off, but the settings are subtle enough that you could just leave it on all the time. The spacial jump isn't a flaw it's just a natural phenomenon that's noticeable, like when you push the stereo to mono button on an old stereo; everything moves real quick. Now that could be a cool effect, if when going to a lead you turn off the doubling and your guitar jumps to the middle and would actually give the impression that another guitar has entered the mix for the lead.
Well done again Kemper.
Works great in combo with the acoustic simulator. The mix control on the acoustic sim is a great addition as well, bleeding in a little of the electric signal is a nice touch.

Damn. Now I have to buy me some stereo inears.

Just a pair of inexpensive Shure SE215's will do the trick...I've been using them for about three years now on both drums & guitar. The isolation & comfort are fantastic, and, for me, the Kemper sounds it's absolute best through in-ears. I can play all night in pure bliss while my apartment-mate in the next room over just hears the clickity-clack of an unamplified electric guitar. Pure stereo immersion. ?
I just did a session for Nomad Recording on a fretless bass using the DT.
The producer and engineer trusted my idea for a stereo bass track.
It was fun to play and they loved it.
I'll post the song when the artist releases it.
Well, this looks fun. I'm perfectly willing to let the braver souls do the beta testing, but looking forward to when it's in the next production release.
Also, a shout out to whichever Kemperite is playing the intro riff in the video. Found myself listening to it a few times just because it was a cool riff.

Yeah. My current transmitter is only mono though (xwive). It's awesome. But mono.
I tried it, could be great in live situation with subtle settings, like said above, 60% stereo and looseness about 3/4.
Problem is that I have those random volume drops.
Another problem is that I don’t have any blocks to use it.
X is eq, Mod is a chorus, delay and reverb…
shame because I would be happy to use it always on my main tones.
Rookie question, I just upgraded the OS to 8.6.6 and the email from Kemper talked about the double Tracker... Do I have to create a stereo track in pro tools or just use a single mono track?

the doubler tracker can be users in mono, if placed in blocks A-D, but if in X, mod, del, and rev slots it’s in stereo. You definitely want a stereo track as it’s sounds much better in stereo. Now that said you might right the Left output of the Kemper to one track and the right to another. Then pan each track hard left and right. Then you have independent volume control. I *think you could mute the right track in PT to essentially turn off the doubling, but I could be wrong.
Put the DT in the X slot on the Kemper. Run into 2 tracks hard panned left and right.

That gave me an idea, don't know if would work or not but if I recorded a stereo track in pro tools than once finished the do the "split to mono" thing then there would be 2 individual mono tracks to adjust volumes??
Sure. Or just record two mono tracks to begin with.

you could always record a stereo track for simplicity and editing and split the stereo track to two mono tracks during mixing as needed. But If you recorded then in two mono tracks, you’d want to group the tracks for editing so you don’t move or cut one without moving the other with it.
Okay I did read all the posts here for setup.. I'm using my Kemper Powered Toaster with a guitar cab for my live playing. So to be clear, I really cant use my 1/12, add another 1/12 speaker cab unless I get another power amp OR have a powered speaker for the monitor output to get the correct DT effect happening? As we all know the Powerhead has only one poweramp available.
I would cool to have two speaker cabs and use the DT for a thicker sound live, with a mono signal to FOH as most PA's aren't stereo.
I run Guitar > Kemper Powerhead > Output to 1/12 speaker cab... Left Monitor out to FOH
Thanks for any info you can share..
Hi, marxiami.
Yes, to use the Double Tracker you'll need another power amp and speaker cabinet.
"I run Guitar > Kemper Powerhead > Output to 1/12 speaker cab... Left Monitor out to FOH"
Press the OUTPUT button to open the OUTPUT Settings.
Navigate to page 1
Set the Main Output source to Master Mono. Then connect either MAIN OUTPUTs to FOH.
Set the Monitor Output to Master Mono.
Enable Monitor Cab Off (second soft button)
To understand why, you'll want to read about the OUTPUT SECTION in the Kemper Main Manual (first link below)

So I tried the Double Tracker again with the latest operating system 8.6.6
and I still have the problem of volume dropouts described by me and many other users.
For testing purposes I switched off all effects, amps and cabinets, i.e. only the DTRK .... copied the rig and when switching between the rigs
(in the same performance well-tempered) the dropouts can still be heard clearly.
When rehearsing via in-ears, the DTRK is of course kind of fun if you panned the guitar to the left and right
and so it makes some space for the vocals.
My fellow musicians only noticed the dropouts after I asked them about it.
That doesn't sound totally dramatic in the band structure either ... more like ... oh shit, you missed the job again
(as if you hadn't switched the rig at the right moment).
That annoys me a bit and I would probably not want to use it live ... if I imagine that other musicians may be present who are perhaps even more meticulous than me and who notice it immediately, it could be embarrassing .
Regrettable somehow, could have been a really good effect ... but not useful for live, maybe still acceptable when rehearsing and in the studio I would prefer to play a second guitar anyway.
But maybe something will change next year.
With that in mind, have a great start to 2022 everyone and stay (or get) healthy!
