Hello KPA users!
On my quest to achieving the best re-amping recipe, I ran into some phasing situations. I would like to share some thoughts and also ask for your opinions.
Here is my setup:
KPA -> SPDIF (Left/Git Studio) -> Audio interface -> Reaper (this records a dry track)
KPA -> SPDIF (Right/Stack) -> Audio interface -> Reaper (this records a stack track)
KPA -> Direct out -> Audio interface (instrument input) -> Reaper (this also records a dry track)
So far, so good. Now when I look closer, both dry tracks (spdif and inst. input) are offset by some ~80 samples (the spdif one being late compared to the direct out one).
And then when actually re-amping, using either of the dry tracks, the newly recorded track will typically have an offset of some 475-500 samples compared to the dry track.
I am assuming these offsets are caused by the A/D conversion and the KPA's processing delay, and there is probably some latency induced by my audio interface as well.
Sure I can always use some kind of click recording and realign the tracks when done re-amping. Still, I am surprised by there numbers.
Are all you KPA re-ampers observing pretty much the same behaviour?
BTW, I am currently trying out a Focusrite Saffire 24 DFP Pro which I am using to perform these tests.
All the best
