For me, the looper (from KPA or from others) is not great for recording an idea quickly ... and classifying it, editing ...

I use the Wiretap pedal to record many ideas. I like this pedal as a draft , very simple.

Wiretap also has Bluetooth and syncs with mobile devices.

the app isn't fantastic but it works well. you can export in mp3 from app, with USB directly I don't know the format...wav I hope ?

but after I have such ideas and a great sound adjustment or Rig settings.

I play it new or record it directly from wiretap to the computer.

it's a drafted-amping

Ah, okay. It would be nicer without the need of an additional pedal - that's why I have a camper! - but that pedals looks handy. Really want something to quickly record riffs, to not forget. So far I used my iPhone's microphone, but sound quality is bad of course

As a first thought I wouldn’t start from looking for another high end nearfields (the ones you have are known to be good ones), but consider ways of working and enviroment:

• monitoring db levels
• having enough breaks in long sessions

• room acoustics (freq. buildups etc)

How much db is recommended?

Thanks guys, for your understanding and for all your great input

Sure, I know lowering the volume is the first thing I should do!

Not that I play loud, not at all ...

But I was just thinking how you make music and what guitar players like when they play:

I already liked to put my Marshall 4x12 on a chair when I was young, to hear more of the direct signal of the speakers.

But other guitar players like their cabinets or combo's to stay on the floor, to give them more of a darker growl.

You not only hear sound you also feel sound right?

Well, the "feel" thing needs a lot of volume and is hard to achieve in a home situation.

But still, there is a difference between sitting in the sweet spot of studio monitors, or sitting next to a combo, that's on the floor and blasting on your knees rather than blasting into your face.

There are differences in how you listen to sound also:

When I mix music/tracks with my monitors I need low/moderate level only.

I want to listen to all the details, I don't need to "feel" the music.

But when I play guitar, I want to feel the sound a bit, play with feedback maybe even!

And maybe good monitors are bad for that? Maybe "shit speakers", like guitar speakers (in terms of frequency range) are better for playing fun?

Maybe an 8" speaker or a 8" Simulation of a speaker would be better for me?

Okay, make a long story short, maybe I should try some smaller cabinet simulations first and not sit in the monitors sweet spot and give that a try

You have to place the looper at the end of the whole chain for that to happen. It’s in one of the menus.

I know, but then the export part is still missing

Hi there,

I love my Kemper, it brought me back to guitar playing after being into synths for quite some years.

I play the Kemper with 2 Neuman KH 12a speakers, excellent studio monitors, also said very often, that they work very well with guitar sounds.

The monitors are on a little stand on my desk, setup/positioned as you should studio monitors, means the guitar goes directly into my face ("in die Fresse" ), what I like, because I like defined high frequencies of the guitar.

BUT: After long sessions, I realize my ears are stressed, even almost near to ringing

Unfortunately I am already in the age, where I should care about this, knowing that my ears already got a bit worse.

I was thinking about buying the Kemper cabinet, but then, I will annoy my neighbors much more I am afraid. And I like the minimalistic setup I have now.

Are Neumann monitors a little too hard maybe, should I go for Adams rather? Or bigger monitors, with a bigger sweet spot?

Are there any EQ settings you could recommend me?

Any other tips?

Maybe the people from Kemper could also think of an ear protection parameter in the master eq, that filters out the most dangerous frequencies ???

Hello,

very often I have an inspiring loop and use the looper to play on top of it. I would appreciate, if there would be a way to "preserve" the loop/my idea. To export it to a DAW, or just to be in some sort of file browser ("ideas") inside the Kemper, which gets not deleted when I switch the off the device.
