Recording Kemper - SPDIF vs. Analog Outs

imrecs · January 30, 2015 at 10:44 PM

I am just wondering if SPDIF is the best way to record the Kemper? My converters /interface is RME (great drivers but not the best converters) and I have some high quality preamps, though I was consdering selling my preamps if I can get a better sound just recording the Kemper via SPIDF? I only record at 44.1 so that's not an issue, and I like the idea of getting both an effected/profiled audio well a a DI signal to reamp either through the kemper, or into a real amp at a later date.

Does Spdif also work for running the kemper live through an interface, into ableton/mainstage for live mixing and fx, and then to front of House? Is it reliable?

Don't worry abut it - rock what you got!

...And you can get DI with the analogue path as well - don't need SPDIF for that

Yes, this works fine. I do it all the time (with a MOTU 828, but that probably doesn't matter).
