Hi guys!
I'd like to know how to do proper gain staging with my two setups. First setup, only for home use (around 70-80 dB):
Kemper (unpowered Toaster) Monitor and Direct Out (stereo option) -> Stereo Amplifier -> 2 cabs, each with one Kone
What's better? Cranking the Amplifier with relatively low volume on the Kemper's Master volume or vice versa?
Second setup, only for home use (around 70-80 dB):
Kemper S/PDIF Out -> Audio Interface S/PDIF In -> Audio Interface Out -> Studio Monitors
This is more complex as there are more volume sources/pots/faders involved. I've somewhere read that it's best to crank Studio Monitors and to do the levelling via the remaining volume sources. Is this true? How would you do the gain staging? To be more precise I'm talking about listening not recording.
Thanks in advance!
