Hi all,
my first post, woohoo!
My band made a record / music movie consisting of 10 songs / music videos. Kemper was used intensively during album production: all guitars, all vocals(!) and parallel version of bass track was feed through Kemper, using different profiles. Some of the guitar tracks were also reamped. “Lo-fi” sound at the beginning of one song is all Kemper (slightly modified “Drive-Thru Speaker” profile), including the drums.
Using Kemper for the vocal tracks was very interesting. Because the recording quality of the vocals was quite… hmmm, modest (vocals were recorded using internal preamp of Boss multitracker), I reamped all vocal tracks via Kemper. First thing to do was to find a suitable profile for the vocalist and for the song. My favourites were “Neveish” by their nature. Then I removed a cabinet and eq stack, adjusted tube parameters and added some gain, compression and miscellaneous effects for the taste. I’m quite satisfied with the results, Kemper was really intuitive to use and it added the flavour I was missing.
You can check the results here: http://jointdepression.bandcamp.com/ and in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_j6Q2tcnqs
A word of caution: the movie is quite “Finnish”, as is the English pronounciation.
All comments and questions are welcome. I have most of the modified presets in my computer and all of them are free profiles from Rig Exchange, so sharing is also possible.
