Record wet and dry signal.

    Hallo fellow Kemper-users. I need to record both wet and the dry signal for future reamping, but I'm not sure on how to do this. I normally just use S/Pdif for the wet signal. How do I record both? I have not been able to find any direct answers either in the manual, Google or here. I think I have read all the threads which appear when searching for the topic. I need a step-by-step guide. I think I need to configure something within the Kemper.

    The SPDIF can be configured to carry mono wet on one side (L) and dry on the other (R). This is done through the 'outputs' menu using the 'output' button.


    If you have to have stereo wet then you must use additional outputs in conjunction with SPDIF. In this case you can either put out stereo wet on SPDIF and then use the direct out to record the dry GIT signal or use the main outs for wet stereo and then put the dry signal on SPDIF - or whatever combination of the above you would like.

    I'm aware that you can do that. That is why I asked for a step-by-step guide :)
    I look in the manual and cannot seem to find where it says, that you have to do this, then this, then this and so on. I cannot read from the manual, what I have to do to configure the different outputs so a clean signal and a wet signal is being send at the same time. To me the manual only tell you, that these different outputs exist. But not how to actually configure them. I'm sorry if I have overlooked something, but I don't think I have.


    That is why I hope that someone in here can give me a helping hand.

    I'm looking for the easiest way. If just using the S/Pdif to carry both is the easier choice then is perfect. If using S/Pdif for only either wet or dry signal and on of the other outputs for the remaining signal is easier, then it does not matter. It matters though if they do not sync perfectly. When sending the songs for mixing I'm leaving the choice of using the wet signal or reamping the dry signal to the mixing engineer. That is why they need to be in sync. If S/Pdif is a lot faster to carry the signal and the other outputs leaves a little latency, then I would prefer the choice of S/Pdif carrying both signals.

    If you want both on SPDIF:
    1) Click on output
    2) Turn knob on SPDIF Output to Git/Stack


    That's it. Now if you record the left channel, it is your dry signal, while right is wet.

    That was pretty easy and I had never figured that out by myself :) Thanx a lot. It leaves a question though. The dry signal is way louder than the wet signal and actually clips. Can I turn the volume down on the dry signal?

    In my case the wet signal is a lot louder. ?( Could it be that your wet signal is actually softer? ;)
    I would not change anything about the dry signal volumewise or otherwise because that is what you want - a dry signal. If you need to (e.g. because your ampsim needs a stronger signal) you can still change its volume later in the daw.

    mrs-zambesi>>> I have to change the volume of the dry signal. It is too loud. It's clipping. That means I cannot use the dry signal at all. It reaches the digital 0 dB and clips the signal. I can turn the volume on the wet signal up and down. So actually I have no choice other than turning down the volume on the dry signal. I just don't know how.


    Webb>>> I'm not sure. I searched Google for "Kemper manual" and looked in my manual, that comes with the Kemper.

    Webb>>> Yes...I just downloaded the 3.0 manual and saw the new chapters. I have to read them again though. It seems that in the output section when chosing git/stack there is a way of controlling both outputs. I need to look at that tomorrow as I am off to my night shift.

    I am in the situation now, where I have to help a friend with recording. He does not have S/Pdif, so I have to use regular outputs. I have read the manual, but cannot seem to find out which of the settings carry a dry + a wet signal together in seperate outputs. One side dry and one side wet. As far as I understand, it is only the Git/Stack which offer that solution and that is only through S/Pdif. Is it true that I do not have that choice through the regular outputs?

    look in the Reference Manual, Output/Master section, page 25
    you can configure every output of the Profiler to a number of settings.
    if you only want to deal with two tracks, you want either Master mono or Stack for the amp signal and Direct (either analog, processed or studio) for your DI setting.


    you can also easily create more complex output scenarios, like DI, Stack and Reverb/Delay wet (stereo)


    just keep in mind that you can configure each of the outputs individually and you'll get there.

    There is a tutorial video about recording:
