- Hi everyone,
Updated to RIG MANAGER 3.1.62 on my MAC OSX 10.15.7 Catalina.
Cannot open Rig Manager anymore as Rig Manager is Crashing on startup, getting the message "Rig Manager quit unexpectedly."
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Just got the news believe it or not.
My Kemper was send to Kemper USA tech support and has been found DEFECTIVE. None of that was my fault
Expecting a new one as a replacement
Special thanks to Sweetwater and Josh Kattner for following up with me and Kemper in order to resolve this matter.

Hmmm... rats.
Hopefully someone else will chime in as I'm a spidiot.
same problem still tryin to solve it.. have tried two converters... check my other post lol
-
Good luck! Watching to see how you make out. I am wanting to go this route as well to gain an extra input on my twin x. I am using the kemper in my teaching rig for Zoom lessons with a master mono setting coming out of the Kemper with a trs cable in to the guitar input on the front of the apollo. I have a mic set up for my voice/ac guitar on channel 2. I want the extra channel to use my iPhone running an app called the amazing slow downer. Not sure what cable to use for that job either.
Im going to Plan B waiting for the Hosa ODL312 S/PDIF Optical to AES/EBU Link. I tried everything...

Keep checking your setup. I have the same converter as you and it works wonderfully. I have it going to an Apollo x4 . So it's the same as far as in's and out's You don't need that expensive converter. Take a break and turn everything off. Create a new output preset for spdif on your Kemper and re do it. Make sure you're sending a signal out the spdif and then receiving at the apollo. It's gonna be something easy and stupid, it always is.
Trying everything again.. What do you mean by "Create a new output preset for spdif "?
-
I know they have special s/pidif cables but I am using just a high quality rca ended type cable. What is happening when you plug everything in? Are you seeing a signal on the S/pdif on the Apollo console, like this ? Like I said , make sure all of your settings on the kemper output are correct.
I will have to return this converter and get this one https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ODL312--hosa-odl312 which is more expensive but it supports SPDIF TO XLR and then OPTICAL OUT.
-
Seems to be wired the same as I have mine. (it's the same box, so it should work) Are your setting correct on the Kemper output settings? Go through all 9 pages. On the Apollo, s/pdif input, settings hardware- Digital input & output= S/PDIF
Not sure if I got the correct SPDIF cable. Is this correct? https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod…tle_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-
The suggested SPDIF box arrived but its not working. Please see screenshot. (SPDIF IN is an OPTICAL IN) COAXIAL IS A SPDIF IN?
DId I get the wrong box?
From KEMPER SPDIF OUT to CONVERTER TO OPTICAL OUT to OPTICAL IN IN THE UAD APOLLO
Have set 48khz on Kemper settings and UAD Apollo interface. Clock is set to internal on UAD.
Any ideas?

Great, thanks .....
I found out the extra long throw you have on the Master fader is because you don't have an Alternate monitors enabled, like I have.
I disabled the count from 1 to 0 and got the extra length of throw ...
Mind you, I wish there was an option to get the Master as big as you can have the Aux .....
Back to your original question, were you monitoring in both Cubase and Apollo like musicmad thought ?
I am not sure what you mean by extra long throw...
I am only monitoring in Apollo and setting up in HP the monitoring either through the monitors or the headphones. as shown in the picture above.
-
I don't have the HP or Line 3 and 4 active and I guess having the line 3 and 4 on faders frees up space to get the master fader longer.
I'll look into it ....
I'm on Cubase too and just getting that organised ....
Thanks
Here is how it is setup in Cubase notice the Virtual channels outputs and the setup in the audio connections window
-
Can I ask you how you got your main output faders to be like that ? Mine have a shorter throw than in your picture.
I also have Monitor and Alt 1 buttons that you don't have ... have you disabled them somehow to get the extra throw ... If so how ?
I'm a newbie with the Apollo console and still working things out
You have to enable HP IN CUE OUTPUTS (see picture) AND create a virtual output mix in Cubase to the VIRTUAL 1+2 CHANNELS then you will be able to control the OUT to your monitors (lower row) and the OUT to your headphones (upper row) separately. Also the stereo GUITAR IN input into HP (your headphones) can be adjusted as well.
(the two faders in the far left) -
Hm running out of good guesses. Are you perhaps monitoring both in Console and DAW? (and get phase cancelation)
What really helped is Cue Mix headphone routing while using the virtual output bus in cubase. Here is a picture. Will try the SPDIF tomorrow!
-
Can you simply bypass everything and just record the Kemper without processing? The Twin is software emulations of hardware that colours the sound.
Thanks Karl
That is how I initially started... -
Are you sure of that? Even at the same volume? Check that you don't have the high-pass filter enabled in the Apollo console.
hmm its not enabled. Good guess though...
-
Just to mention the difference in terminology:
-18dbFS (modern digital) is approx equal to 0dbVU (old school analogue)
Seems to be working perfectly..
. Here is a screenshot and the wave file. Had to EQ though the NEVE preamps as there is less Bass coming in rather than directly hooking up to the speakers...strange...any ideas on that?
-
You want to have your input at an average of -18 dB while recording optimum signal/noise ratio.
Embarrassed to have relearned that for as long as I've been recording...
f you want louder than that, either turn up your fader in software or your monitor level on the interface
I thought -6db is what I should be aiming for... otherwise the recorded waveform is low... this is getting confusing...
-
Looks OK if you record in 24 bit. Increase the gain if you'd like to record hotter.
If I increase the gain further I will get a distorted peak. Also not sure why I should pan hard left and right...
-
Panned full left and right on the UAD console.
Here is a recording/screenshot from cubase when playing a rhythm funk riff (dynamic range from -10db to 0 when you pick hard).
Shouldn't the waveform be larger?
Also should a limiter be used on the UAD console L+R channels? like the LA-2A as a BUS/SEND?
Any suggestions?
-
..and using Spdif is so easy, takes up less space, inputs and sounds great. The converter is very inexpensive. Here is the one I have that I use with my Apollo x4 Coax-to-Optical Digital Audio Converter Adapter
Thank you so much I just ordered it from Amazon. I would rather use just the SPDIF
Will let you know in a few days! -
Got the new cables and that part has been fixed THANK YOU
However the Kemper does not sound the same through the UAD Apollo (and monitoring through the UAD console using a clean template) as opposed to directly to the monitors. It sounds more compressed and just overall more like a plugin...lol
Any ideas?
