Evening folks.
For the past 3 months I have been focusing on using my kemper powerhead live and setting up tones that work with my 1960a cab. But recently I have been using my kemper for home recording, mainly high gain tones using my gibson voodoo explorer using the 2 outputs on the kemper. I bought the focusrite 2i2 (bad choice due to low level clipping) and have been achieving mixed results, particularly compared to the sound clips i have heard from users here and in other places despite using the same profiles. I am mainly using reaper but have used other software to compare results and all the tones sound essentially the same so I know software isnt at fault.
For example the LL Grease patch used in the recording here Tips on recording Kemper?? sounds fantastic. When I use the patch it sounds thin, scooped and lacking any character. Most of the high gain profiles I have been using produce similar results, i have managed a good recording tone on a rare occasion but I am thinking I need some advice to get the most out of the recording side as I am clearly doing something wrong. None of my high gain tones sound anything like the examples I have heard from sellers and users on this forum. Also, I am still a little unclear regarding the use and, more importantly, choice of cabinet to go with. I notice there are a few cabinets in the cab preset section and hundreds in the "from rigs" section. Should I be downloading cab profiles or mix and matching? I not clear on the best way to approach it as up to now I have had cab off to go straight into the 1960a. I plan on uploading some of the clips i have saved but would welcome any suggestions on setting on the kemper for recording and any advice on cabinet choice.
Many thanks
