You get what you pay for.

If the above is what you really want, you already mentioned RME and you already stated "seems like the best option".

Well, what do you wait for then?

You want cheaper but same quality? Ain't gonna happen.

Yeah I agree with you, you get what you pay for.

But the main question for me is: With what % of the "main thing" are you satisficed with?? For example: My bass is 5 string Sterling by Music Man. Of course its not THE Music Man but its like 90% of the original quality and I paid 1/4 of the Music Man price. I'm not gonna pay 1k euros for the RME when I can get the same function (SPDIF) from a ~250e Focusrite. Especially since I'm only going to be recording for my soul.

Don't get me wrong, if I was rich I would go for the best stuff for sure Alas, I live in a 3rd world country and have a family to support.

From the looks of it ill most likely go for Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen. It fits all my needs, doesnt require adapters and is really cheap (~250euro).

I guess ill be back when i fail to hook it up

Thank you for your time!

I would. and get a Motu M4! See this thread...

How to Reamp Kemper with Reaper (non-SPDIF Method) Tutorial..

Thanks MasterTexan However, since my Line6 does not have the necessary 4i4 and I need to buy a new one anyway I thought I should go with one that has spdif to make everything easier, and for the connection to have better quality? Essentially looking for a "best" option since I don't plan to change it anytime soon, maybe not ever. That being said, from my research it looks like a spdif interface would be the easiest for me to hook up and use with Reaper?

ZOOM U-44 - ~120euros is the cheapest and it looks like it fits all my needs though i heard the quality of Zoom interfaces is questionable.

Focusrite Clarett 2Pre - I can get a new one for ~240euros though this is kind of an old device? And I only see one optical input (is that opcital spdif? I would need an optical to coaxial converter as Kemper only has coax jacks?)? How do does that work with Kemper? I have no idea.

Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen - About the same price as the above, im thinking this might be my best option?

Anyway, i am a total noob to all of this! So any and all advice is greatly appreciated

Would you please be so kind as to elaborate on how to connect it to Reaper?

Thats true... its 3x Focusrite while RME is 4x Focusrite! Thats pretty much the reason why im here trying to figure out if i really need to splurge for the higher end stuff if the Focusrite 8i6 or 6i6 will do the trick while not costing me an arm and a leg

Or if i even need the spdif jacks? Can i use the Kemper with my Line6 UX1? For recording that is..

Eh, convenience is such a broad term Im not a professional musician, just doing this for fun so i dont need anything fancy. SPL is almost 3 times more expensive than the focusrite so i guess price is a factor though i might chose to splurge for something special!

Hi guys!

I recently bought the lovely Kemper and now I want to connect it to Reaper (to begin with) and start recording!

I'm using Line 6 UX1 audio interface that does not have spdif jack.

Would the best course of action be to buy an interface with spdif or is there a way to connect my rig as it is?

If a spdif interface is recommended, which one should i get? From the little research i did so far i like these options the best:

ZOOM U-44

Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen or Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 2nd gen (which one is better and why!? i cant figure it out)

MOTU 4PRE

RME Fireface UCX - this one is really expensive (~1k euro) but seems like the best option.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I am really new to this, practically clueless.

Thanks!!
