So I've used the Kemper for a few years now but mainly for rehearsing and recording rough demos. Normally for an actual recording I'd go into a studio, use a Fender/Vox-style amp, and have it mic'd. This time around I'm going to be recording with the Kemper and then forwarding the tracks on to the studio where it will go through some analog outboard gear/high-end plugins before being mixed. I'm looking for some tips on achieving a professional recording with the Kemper.
I'll be recording into Reaper but essentially leaving all post-processing to the studio. With that in mind I'm wondering what is important to get right on my end and what do I not need to worry about?
There will be reverb and delay provided through either a Fractal FX8 or the Kemper itself however is it a good idea to provide a dry track as well?
I typically use compression in my signal chain although the compressors available to the studio will be way superior to what I have. I assume I can still use a little compression on my end and have additional compression applied after if necessary?
Any thoughts on double-tracking with different amp profiles/mics?
I'm also considering recording some stereo delays although I'm not sure if it will be used in the final mix - I assume these can be summed back to mono easily enough if necessary?
The guitars are mostly clean to slightly overdriven. Basically any tips you have to improve the quality of the recording as a starting point are much appreciated!
