Have you got direct monitoring switched on?
the direct monitoring option can be found on the USB audio page in the output menu of the Profiler.
to use the Profiler as an audio interface with zero latency monitoring you should connect your speakers to the Profiler or use the headphones output of the Profiler to monitor the guitar signal and the DAW signal.
If you use a second interface as the output device you need to activate software monitoring in your DAW to forward the incoming audio to the outputs of your Audient interface. This adds latency to the signal that is determined by the buffer size in the Logic audio settings.
There is a workaround for your 2nd problem. It's not perfect but works (for me):
open RM first, wait until your Profiler shows up in the tree, then start Logic.
Display MoreI am in my recording studio where I play through my studio monitors. I will not use headphones just to hear the Kemper neither do I want to hook up the studio monitors to the Kemper as they are hooked up to a monitor controller.
As mentionned in my initial post, software monitoring is activated in Logic as it is the only way to hear the Kemper at this point.
But when doing so when opening Rig Manager, the signal distorts and crackles which makes editing in Rig Manager impossible.
So I guess the USB option and the way it is designed is not for me then.
Too many (for me) unconvenient changes necessary.
Never had any similar issues before when I was using SPDIF/Coax connection with the Kemper. Will therefore go back to SPDIF and add the additional cabling.
Yes, I would definitely say you need a dedicated audio interface in a studio unless you only record electric guitars with magnetic pickups. A guitar processor interface will always have limited use, which is why I think they resisted building one for a while.
You might want to record a professional mic at some point.
