Hello,
This is my first post on the forum. Hope I can find a solution for my case.
I love my Kemper PowerHead and have used it mostly for live gigs last 5 months. My gig schedule is slowing down now and I'm trying to focus on studio work.
I was always excited to use Kemper as a reamp unit (actually, long time dream). Today is my 5th day of trying to record my guitar track through SPDIF with no luck.
Believe me, I did my homework. I've read the manual, wiki, almost everything what I was able to find on this forum along with other web info. Still confused!
So let me explain with details my situation:
1. I have MacBook Pro 13" (late 2011) running OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
2. My audio interface is MBox2 (not Pro) with recent, I guess, drivers from here http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/download/Mbox-2-Drivers
3. My DAW is Logic Pro X 10.0.7
4. In Audio/Midi SetUp I've made a switch from internal to spdif. So, the spdif light on MBox2 started to blink.
5. Kemper direct out -> MBox2 instrument input
Kemper SPDIF in -> MBox2 SPDIF out
Kemper SPDIF out -> MBox2 SPDIF in
So my questions are:
1. I know that the Kemper has to be setup as a master unit, but HOW? Is it through Digi CoreAudio Manager? But I can't find anything related to my needs there:
2. I've found a lot of complains about Digi CoreAudio Driver. Do you think my Logic can't see spdif channels because of that? How can I setup spdif channels in Logic? Can't see any possible way in Logic preferences menu.
I've never had any problems like that with ProTools, but trying to move out from it because of AVID's recent licensing policy.
Trying to understand what am I missing here? Where is the wrong step? Wrong connection, bad drivers, Kemper settings, anything else?
In case I need a new audio interface, do guys have any suggestions from your experience? USB vs Fireware vs Thunderbolt?
I would be extremely grateful for any kind of help, guys!
Thank you!
