I was ecstatic when the news dropped about the Kemper finally being able to record and re-amp through USB. What I've dreamt of for many years. The best news EVER! So I thought It so happens that the USB solution the Kemper offers, doesn't really let me use it the way, I thought was possible. The way I actually thought was the logical way. So I'm destined to wander the realm of the analog unless I want the Kemper to be the audio interface. And I don't want that. What I hope they will fix, is this: I want to be able to record and re-amp through USB while
- Using my main audio interface as it is intended to (RME Babyface Pro fs) with the volume control, its AD/DA converters etc. I don't want the Kemper as another audio interface, so I have to constantly switch between them.
- I wish NOT to be limited to listen to my live recording through the monitor of the audio track in Logic Pro. Why can't the Kempers USB signal reach my audio interface? Why do I have to connect speakers to the Kemper to hear it?
- I wish to be able to just turn on my Mac and my Kemper and just have it hooked up like normal (speakers to the audio interface) and be able to hear myself playing. Right now I plugged the analog output into my audio interface and everything can be heard. My Kemper, Logic Pro, audio and videos from the internet etc. I don't want a weird setup with speakers connected to the Kemper and to the audio interface too or a setup, where I always need to change everything according to what, I want to do.
It's waaaaaay to complicated and unnecessary to do all this. Why does it have to be so complicated and such a hazzle? in 2023? Come on
Can we (or I at least) please just have the Kempers USB to just be "plug and play" without all these limitations? With the tech and the wisdom of the IT people of today...in 2023, it should be very easy to just let the audio interface be the audio interface and the Kemper be just a USB device controlled by the audio interface. Turn on the Mac, turn on the Kemper, turn on the speakers, play og record - the end! It kills my creative flow and it kills my energy to play as well.
I'm convinced that other manufacturers present this possibility already. I think that Line6 did this years ago actually...a decade ago. I think I remember a former friend plugging his Line6 rack device into the PC and recorded with that, while having an audio interface as well and it didn't have all these issues. This was many years ago. Well...I can remember wrong of course. It would still amaze me, if this wasn't possible today...in 2023.
Please please please
