I have just bought a Scarlett 6i6 which is an USB audio interface with 4 analog line inputs et 1 spdif input, which seemed appropriate for the Kemper.
The problem is i wanted to use the two rear analog inputs to connect my Kemper but those two inputs have a fixed gain which is very very low. I have to set the Kemper output to -5 dB, the interface input to +6 dB, and the daw input to +6 dB to get peaks that reach painfully the -12 dB mark on the Vue-meter.
I can use the front inputs, which don't have this problem, but this blocks the input if i want to record a mic at the same time or go straight into the interface with my guitar.
I have mailed the support service for help, but in the meantime i wanted to know if anybody here was having the same issue and if there was a solution.
Thank you.
Focusrite Scarlett 6i6

Take SPDIF and free up the two rear inputs on your interface as well as a AD conversion.

I wanted to record the DI through SPDIF.

You still can. It‘s a matter of output settings.

But then you get mono output.

So you want to record in stereo? Why? You can play in stereo and when recording switch to mono.

Why would i want to record in mono when the Kemper is offering me all those nice stereo effects ?

Yeah I see. But most people are recording in mono and then adding effects in the DAW cause you‘ll never know how the recorded effects turn out when you listen to the whole picture. You can‘t change or edit these effects later.
