I'm new to recording, guitarist for 23 yrs, but didn't play for a span of 5 or 6 years. Trying to learn everything I can about music from composition to mix to business.
New to recording

im also new to recording and its been a lot of fun learning everything in setups, daws etc.
reamping was my hardest bit due to not having a spdif interface, i did manage to get it working but then decided to invest in spdif and it was much simpler.
a lot of youtube videos help

I do all of my recording and reamping via analog and get excellent quality.
As Jwironmaiden said, tons of great stuff out there on recording no matter what DAW you're using. Should be fun!

Welcome, have fun here in the forum and with your Kemper(s)
Yep, SPDIF is nice, very convenient. Using a decent interface you can achieve great results with analog inputs/outputs as well but personally I use the SPDIF all the time because it works so well.

Welcome, Spooky.
All-analogue here like Chris Duncan FWIMBW. You won't hear any difference no matter which way you go.

Hi there! When it comes to recording, composition and arrangement is everything.
When everything has a place in the song and doesn't just run all over other parts then recording and mixing is easy.
If you just start laying down tracks you're more likely to end up with a mess that doesn't really sound clear and distinct no matter how much sculpting you try to do in the DAW.
Listen to how few instruments there are in any one part of a lot of great songs. Less is more when the writing is great.

One of the most important factor as a guitarist and mixing is to stop thinking like a guitarist. I know it's not easy at first. But we guitarists love to hear the guitar(s) loud. Always have reference tracks and compare both mixing wise and how to set individual levels to all tracks.

Wise man!
Also when recording i like to record amp and effects separately. So i set master output to DLY/REV Wet, Monitor Out to Stack and direct to git analog (Di just in case). Let's say you use too much reverb while recording - with one track you can't do anything about it. So better way is to adjust effect while mixing or to record dry (without reverb when it's not big part of that sound).
I'm happy using analog outs more than spdif really -
