I had problems when I used multiple ports of my adapter. They were less when I only had the KPA on it and I bought a new usb C to usb B cable on the weekend which seems to work fine. It does seem to lose connection when I close the MacBook but it’s just a question of unplugging and re plugging the new cable.

After all the fret talk, I decided no more mid priced guitars. $0-100 or $1500-2500 for me. Stainless frets only.
So I started looking at newer guitar manufacturers like Kiesel. It seems like they only offer stainless or gold frets. I was taken back by the gold option. Gold? Why would you get gold frets?
There must be something to it though, not just a gimmick. Pretty cool to hear first hand experience with them.If I were to get a decent guitar it would be Tim Henson Ibanez or a custom Kiesel (below). Kiesel has a nice custom tool on their website.
you may consider a Suhr? Stainless frets and fantastic. Just a thought

Catocaster?

I'm trying the USB reamping and am basically hearing a terrible noise in my headphones, to the point where I'm a bit worried I'm going to damage something. Here's my setup:
Logic Pro, latest version, audio source set to Profiler for both Input and Output
Previously recorded DI track (in project with other tracks), set to no input, mono Output 1, solo'd
New mono audio track to record reamp to, set to Input 1, stereo out, muted
Rig manager Output: USB Reamping enabled, Direct Monitor on, Reamp Source Stack, DAW volume 1.8
Headphones plugged into front of Kemper unpowered head.
I hit play in Logic and hear a very distorted version of my DI signal, not especially loud or anything, but just fully blown out. I've tried reducing the DAW volume, but it made no discernible difference. I tried reducing the output level of the DW track in logic, also with no discernible difference. Granted, I didn't want to have it playing for more than a few seconds because it sounded like something was getting VERY overloaded.
Any advice? Thanks!
ps: I looked for vids about USB at the Kemper support site, but didn't find any (the 9.0 addendum mentioned them).
And, as a side note, I'm not seeing how I'm going to be able to monitor the rest of my tracks while doing this, if the DI track has to be solo'd. I would want to hear everything so that I can try different profiles, make various adjustments, etc, in realtime.
if the input and output sources in your audio settings are the Kemper usb, this could be the problem. You could try using a different output destination like the mac speakers or a different interface.

I recently visited a drummer who did over 60 live tracks with me.
He gave me this Alvarez 5056 with case. It's almost 50 years old and sounds like a Martin D-35.
These guitars were built to compete with Martin and they got really damn close.
That’s a really kind thing. Much respect

Is it correct that the cable used to connect the kemper to the computer for rig manager, also is used for USB audio? Or do I need a USB A to USB A cable and connect the USB port that is used to update the kemper?
it’s the same one as the RM one
-
Does the Kemper still get routed through your Motu to the speakers? It sound like you are monitoring twice with a small delay added to one of the signals.
I thought about this too. You’d have to use the main outs of the KPA to the monitors I think. Also did you try the headphone out on the KPA?
-
I have the SY-1 and that’s how I use it. It works really well. I have the loop in the pre section, turn off the amp block and go bonkers with the reverbs and delays. The loop’ means I can leave the pedal on and use the loop stomp to activate it.
-
For those who tried both the new Kemper and their external interfaces, did you notice any difference in sound quality when recording?
I thought I did at first, then I couldn’t be sure. USB and spdif comparison
-
Great news indeed even if I have an Apollo interface and i don't need an other USB audio interface. Maybe i'll find later a reason to use it?
I'm using the Kemper only in studio and 44.1 KHZ is also a reason to me to no use it.
Happy for the those who need it.
I have an Apollo twin and will still monitor the spdif. USB looks handy for re-amping though as my interface only has a spdif in

Hi man, welcome

notorst Expensive and hard to get tones there. Nice one

I know. I’m not using BETA’s. I’m waiting for it to be elevated to official release. I was just pointing out, that I cannot see USB on Mac described in the BETA, so I was just thinking, that they concentrate on Windows first. As far as I see, they only describe USB on PC in the description of the BETA. So I was just happy, that people are posting, that they use it with Mac. I was surprised.
works great with the Mac
-
Yup, USB works fine
-
OS 9 installed and working well on my mac, the USB drivers just appeared. Is there a beta RM as well?

About as far off-topic as I’ve ever seen a thread, and no one is yelling.
Gotta be some kind of record.but geek off topic

This is a common and understandable error in understanding (that is absolutely not meant as a dig at you, even if it may sound like that).
If you're interested and have the time, I suggest to watch this video. He is really great at explaining and showing what actually happens

Not true - if I understand you correctly.
In digtal audio, the sample rate in effect ONLY describes the highest frequency included in the audio content. I.e. the Nyquist frequency (half the sample rate) determines the highest audio frequency that can be unambiguously derived from the digital information.
(I'm not too sure about "sample rate" as used for describing MP3s, but that's not what we're discussing).
As I understand it, the main reason some plugins work internally with higher sample rates is in order to reliably handle harmonics introduced by the plugin itself, which might lie above the nyquist frequency for the given DAW session.
Similarly, Bit depth determines the noise floor only.
Here’s my take, sample rate determines how frequently a sample is taken, a sample being a measure of voltage. If frequencies higher than half the sample rate are processed, aliasing occurs. The aim is to capture frequencies to 20khz with an anti aliasing filter after that point hence sample rate of 44.1khz. The bit rate determines how closely to the measured voltage a sample might be represented in the digital domain. 16 bit is accurate to 1/65536 24 bit to 1/16777216. This gives theoretical dynamic ranges of 96 and 124 dB respectively.
