Recording vocals with the Kemper

  • Because I'm cheap, and don't want more boxes on my desk. Originally I tested this to check that a mic I was selling works before mailing it.


    YMMV, my chain: sE V7 mic -> alt. input -> loop effect on D slot on the Kemper -> mic pre profile (exchange has Neve, API, Great River profiles) -> spdif out.


    So far I've only tried low volume "singing" at home, but sound seems to be clear and nice. Enough for death metal vocs. :D

  • I hope your ingenuity gives you some great results on the cheap.


    However, if it doesn't work out, there is always the Focusrite Scarlett Solo currently at £82. They have great preamps for the price and there are probably other brands just as good. Gone are the days when you had to make a major investment for an interface.

  • I do that every time I record vocals , RU sirius preamp profiles for instance , or I disengage the stack If I use the art voice channel preamp


    The noise gates, FX ( post & pre ) are killer , I often use the doubler , verb & delays


    It's a great solution , TBH I most often use the art voice channel in front of the KPA wired to the alt input , I just have to switch the profile, no cabling needed.

    Hi,

    why are you selling the mic? We have had good results with SE in our band…
