Hi friends,
You know what doesn't suck during Corona? Being able to continue making songs with the band online. Sucks to not be able to rehearse though. Either way.... new tune up - let me know what you think!:
PS: Even tried with a clickbait description - we'll see if that works :). Would love to reach 50 subscribers. Any takers? Would really appreciate it.
PPS: Just don't hit the fricking notification button unless you enjoy more interruptions in your life...

Update: I picked up the Katzbach JMP 2203 pack. It wasn't an instant hit for me. But for the price ($7.50 USD), it's a low cost of entry. I play a Tele and a Strat, so that probably has something to do with it.
True. I have many packs I don't use but don't regret any of them. The profilers need the support to produce the next one I'll absolutely love.

Recording in stereo allows you to manipulate the guitar placement in a stereo field. You might not want the guitar at dead center (mono) at times especially for certain drum licks and when vocals are centered. Panning hard left or hard right can sometimes "separate" the mix to much in a song. Just depends on what you want. I always record in stereo then adjust panning according to the mix.
You can of course also pan a mono signal.

This is the only thing I don't like about the rack version.
Me too. My second unit will be a toaster for that reason.
-
I'm might be totally off here but the rack doesn't have leds around those knobs

Correct. I also rarely record stereo as all stereo effects are added in DAW. I do record the full signal for my YouTube videos etc. where I don't do any post-processing.
-
Effects after the stack section can all be stereo. Ping pong delays, choruses, reverbs etc. Does that help?
-
I just tune my guitars to F flat.
-
What gave it away? That it's under the rig button?

Just to follow up on this:
I did the experiment, where I recorded something directly via the Kemper and at the same time through a Helios preamp in the Apollo.
Then I played both direct tracks back through the same profile in the Kemper. It may not be entirely surprising that they sounded very similar, but I would still give a slight edge to the direct track that was recorded through the Unison preamp (a bit fuller, a tad "rounder"). Probably not something one would ever hear in a full mix, but that kind of difference has probably never stopped any guitar player from obsessing over it
So I'll probably record my direct tracks through the Unison preamps in the future.I am actually fairly happy with the workflows I am having now as the recording and reamping (both through the Kemper and real amps) is both very convenient and comes with next to no fiddling. I still have to work out how to set all the levels correctly but it does not seem to be too hard at the end of the day.
Actually truly great mixes are a sum of great recordings plus numerous small insignificant but good decisions. So yes. It matters a lot.

no sorry the locations are Input and Output I just wasn’t near my KPA and forgot what the terminology was.
We forgive you (I think it was actually renamed)
-
This is beyond weird.

Can't wait to try these. Glad you are still going!

Cab switching is so vital, it can not be understated. Sometimes I would change the cab on a high gain profile to a cab from a profile that was shot with a clean tone and vice versa.
For this reason I tend to aim for DI profiles and then add whatever cab. DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE MERGE BUTTON!!!
For a very long time I didn't hit the merge button becuase I didn't think it mattered till one day I did and the sound was a big noticeable difference.
I guess I was also scared that merging meant it would change forever or something but you can press it again and un-merge it or swap it back out later even after you save it.
If it sounds good it is good. This is not the intended use case for the merge functionality though.

Here is some more info:
I put a Keely Compressor in between the bass and the input jack on the Kemper (I just grabbed that one at random)
With the Keely pedal on, the bass sound comes through perfectly for any patch.
When I turn it off (bypass) I lose the signal
There is something about the signal the Bass is sending that is not being recognised by the Kemper?
This is really interesting. I assume the Keeley is not set to extreme boost or something.

The Aux in are affected by the Output filter LoCut/HiCut, to me that make no sense to me..
I belive most people use the Locut/HiCut filter to shape the guitar sound and not the signal that are connected to Aux in.
I have used the Aux in to get a Aux send from the PA mixer and use the Phones output on the Kemper for in ear monitoring, and used the Aux in > Headphones as a mixer.
The problem is that the bass and drums from the aux in have the same Locut and HiCut as the guitar signal, and sounds thin..
I hope that this could be updated in the next Firmware so that the Aux in are routed after the LoCut/Hi Cut filter.
Makes sense to me. +1

hi i'm a newby on this forum, how can i download this profile? i'm rellay interested
Do you know how to use rig manager? If so try searching for EVH 5150 III GOJIRA.
-
You should not need adaptors for Kemper and the Apollo x8 since they are both using coaxial spdif. So two coaxial spdif cables should be enough.
-
Definitely use spdif for reamping as the 8X supports that. It's not hard
