SPDIF questions

w1awb · March 13, 2015 at 7:30 PM

I just got my AES to coax SPDIF cables today for my RME UFX/Kemper connection and am hooked into Cubase digitaly for the first time. Wow. Big difference and huge flexibility added. I have output set to git/ mod mono (also tried git/stack...not sure what the difference is). Here's my question:

Master volume doesn't seem to do anything anymore and my signal seems a little hot in Cubase. (not quite clipping but a tad hotter than I usually run) Which is the global volume control now? I've read the manual but I'm not seeing as much info on SPDIF and was wondering if anybody has any tips on how best to do this. Thanks!

Click the master button on the kemper. On one of the pages you can LINK spdif to the master volume. Or you can find the volume control for spdif out on one of the other pages (or the same, I forget...).

I prefer NOT to link the two, but just set the spdif output volume where it's suitable.

I always record 4 channels, analogue left and right, and spdif set to Git/Master Left, this gives me the direct guitar for re-amping later if needed and a fully processed channel via digital too.

Michael I'm not seeing a master button. Do you mean the output button?

The nomenclature changed. On newer profilers it's called OUTPUT, on vintage ones MASTER.

... Ah, the old good times of the Master buttons...
