Hey guys
I was wondering if any of you have used a combo of 2 mics to make a profile? I'm sure in a studio setting this can probably be achieved but how about those of us that have limited tools to use?
I use a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 interface to record through my laptop at home. It has 8 ins but only 2 monitor outs....would I be able to do this and if so, how would I hook this all up? I get the best results when I record using 2 mics so if I can make a profile of that, that would be great!
A lot of people with Multi- Mic setups have got good results using a cheap hardware mixer like a Mackie or Behringer.
Makes it very easy to mix and match the various Mic- signals and feed the sum back to the profiler.
You should be to use the software mixer in your laptop.

You mean the scarlett mix control? How do I get the sound back out to the kemper?
It has two outputs... use of them.
There is another thread going concurrently on this same topic. You could use as many microphones as your mixer could handle. You could also vary the volumes from each Mic. The possabilities are endless. I would use headphones from your mixer while you are setting up the Mic locations as it helps isolate and give the result you should get with less trial and error.
Not sure if I'm following....so I would run out of my monitor outputs into the kemper?? And monitor using headphones?
Yes, you could monitor using headphones, or just monitor with one of your monitor speakers. It's in mono after all.
You can do it two ways. Headphone out of your mixer while playing through your tube amp. Play around with your placements and then feed the Kemper for profiling. You can also headphone out of the kemper with the reference amp selected.
I'm going to try a PZM in the room for the first time very soon and then sell the profiles to willing men....
I would use an external mixer. Going out of the computer, you're looking at analog in, digital out, then analog in again. Once in the digital domain, I would recommend one stay there until mixdown.
