Hello Everyone!
I’ve owned my Kemper Power rack for about a year now, I’m preparing for my first live show with a new band, We have a very minimal sound check on the night we're straight on after another band, pretty sure it's just plug in and quick 5 minute sound check on each patch, I’m extremely anal about being prepared and want to make sure it’s perfect so there's no hiccups on the night.
I’ll be running mono L out of main straight to the desk unfortunately no wedges/monitors on stage so I have to rely on cab for stage sound but that's fine. I was wondering if anyone else had any tips or tricks for helping with preparation, All of my patches are from professional bundles so I shouldn’t have to do any adjusting they already sound incredible out of the box, maybe just a bit of delay/reverb tweaking. I’ve been a reader on here for a while and done some of my own research and what I’ve turned up so far is;
IF ANYONE HAS AN ANSWER FOR THESE PROBLEMS THAT'D BE GOOD TO - I've adjusted my clean sense slightly to stop my input led from hitting red and clipping, I've adjusted it slightly down so it only just touches yellow , Is this correct?.
I have a patch where if I start to dial the gain up or down, the volume of the actual patch starts to increase and decrease exponentially.
Do I turn cab sim off for FOH? If so how do I do that?
•Engage -12db pad for FOH mixer headroom
•Make sure rigs are volume balanced, What's the best way to do this? Just using rig volume?.
•Disconnect Main outs to allow independent Monitor out & Cab volume adjustment without effecting FOH
•Keep USB with patch/firmware backups
If anyone has any more relevant tips please do share!
