Quiet compared to what's coming from the Mac? If you haven't attenuated the music somehow, it will be eating all the headroom there is...You need to reduce the level of the music and up your monitor volume instead.

Lovely sound. Kemper is the best...but there's still nothing like the real deal! -
What's the noise in the DXR without the Kemper connected? Keep DXR input as low as possible and Kemper Monitor out as high as possible.
-
Like Michael says, with 24 bits there's absolutely no need to compress the signal going to disk. Keep a healthy headroom. Adding those 8 bits on top, a 16 bit master would peak at -48dB...
Compressing the signal being monitored is a good thing, but I would have chosen an audio interface with onboard processing to do that. I believe even some of the cheaper ones have that capability now.
-
Did you try listening through the same IEM's when connected at home? Or straight out of the Kemper for that matter. If it sounds good not going through the Behringer, I'd suspect something is going on within the X32. An insert, EQ or sumthin' in the chain...
-
I prefer the second one. More swirl and clarity, and less woooshy distortion. I'm guessing the second one is the amp...
-
The problem isn't that other units use the Optical, it's that the Kemper uses the old RCA format.
Huh? It's not like the optical Toslink is the new kid on the digital block. It's always been a consumer audio choice, and you never saw and never will see it in studios. Apart from that ADAT thing ages ago

If you will ONLY record through s/pdif, you don't need high end anything. You need s/pdif
If you want to use it to record vocals, acoustic guitars etc...the RME UCX is wonderful. The onboard mixer with efx/processing is a godsend for live monitoring. The drivers are rock steady. Class compliance for use with iPad. You can play through it without connecting a computer.

All output volumes and Clean Sens on the input side are digital. Master Volume is just the master of all output volumes linked to it.
The Main Out -12dB PAD is partly digital (-6dB) and partly analog (-6dB).
The Clean Sense is digital levelling only?
I had no idea...I though it was an analog input trim, also hitting a limiter in front of the AD when going into red on the led? -
I wasnt about to start messing with things i know nothing about,I always read about the disasters of ohm mismatch.To bad I didnt have someone like you with me,it sure would have helped.
Yeah, not a good idea with tube amps. At least not more than halving/doubling rated impedance. With solid state you can always go higher though, and as high as you want. You will only lose power.
-
Unfortunately I was not able to do very much with all that gear because most of his amps were a 2 ohm load(my cab is 16).
I'm guessing that was minimum 2 ohm, and you could have used them just fine

Just a short test... Commercial and non commercial DI and Merged profiles all through the same cab and mic vs a real amp through the same chain. Can you identify the real amp? All are Marshall style amps.
JTM45
JTM1
Super Lead

Dirty ShirleyIMHO there is a big difference in dynamics and low end quality.
In the room it's not so different because of the volume.
Have no idea, but I liked the JTM1 sample the best.
Not sure about the umphh as I haven't played the Kemper in such a setting, but there are thing I still miss that I only get from some tube amps. The Kemper is the best I've tried so far, and I enjoy it very much, but it still can't clone every aspect of every type of tube amp behaviour.
-
Nothing to do with the profile. You need to adjust Clean Sense on the Input page.

Regarding speakers:
There's two primary scenarios of harm:
1) Those caused by frequencies outside the scope of a normal guitar.
2) Those caused by excessive volume.I don't quite follow that. There's a wattage limit to what the speaker can handle, regardless of frequency. Since the speaker in a combo should handle the output of the amp, it shouldn't matter what you put into it. Those tubes just can't put out more than the speaker can handle.

Yes, the amp and/or speaker can be harmed - especially when you profile old amps or even new ones very loud.
Guitar amps were not created to send bass guitar signals or these test tones into them - I killed some gear - and avoid profiling to loud now.
I killed the big condensers of an old vintage amp.
Old confensors loose capacity during the time.
The amp sounded even better after replacing the defective parts.
Pack #17 is the stock 1952 deluxe - Pack #36 the 'modded' one = all new power supply condensors.
If this would harm amp or speaker, wouldn't you say there's something wrong with that combo in the first place? There's no limit to how far you can push a guitar combo, at least I've never heard of such a combo, and at that point the amp is way into distortion territory so whether it's a bass heavy signal or not shouldn't make any difference.If anything gets destroyed in his new combo I'd claim warranty should cover that.
-
Only Master Mono will give him both L and R delays. But this may sound phasey when L/R delays have identical timing and modulation is applied.
-
I'm guessing you have delays simultaneous on both sides with modulation on? Either don't have identical timing on L/R, or turn modulation off.
-
Yes, I understand. You can't damage the amp with the test signal.
-
Nah. The amp will deliver whatever clean power it's capable of, and beyond that just go into distortion, which is how we guitarists like it. The speaker in a tube combo should handle whatever its amp throws at it

Does the red wine go well with the white Kemper? Welcome
