So hey dudes!
Its been a while and im excited to say this wont be a negative post YAY! hahaha.
So as you may know for years ive struggled to enjoy my little toaster and spend many thousands over the years trying to better my experience and each time i seemed to be keep hitting a brick wall.
Well...i think im finally starting to love my kemper hahaha.
I upgraded all my cables (threw out all the junk) and even bought a new audio interface UA Apollo Twin its INCREDIBLE!! I also used the same extension cable for my gear (i read somewhere it helps with interference) and i know this is probably going against what all producers and musicians do and recommend concerning studio monitor placement but i no longer have them on my desk facing inwards (the triangle position) directly in my face and the sound difference is just mind blowing. I have realy sensitive ears including tinitus in one ear so all the midd to high distorted frequencies were constantly just blasting me directly in my face and ripping through my ears i truly believe THAT was the horrid sound i kept on experiencing over and over again whenever using a high gain or distorted profile.
I now have my monitors off my desk and lowered out of my face range so the frequencies are no longer kicking my poor tympanic membranes to smithereens resulting now in a more comfortable and warmer tone and i must say im rather loving my kemper...how ace is this? I got the idea when i thought to myself Well Ya wouldnt and dont sit directly infront of your cab inch's away from ya face when playing through ya amp would ya? and no i dont so the new placement decision was made and to me its night and day.
Im also playing around with string gauges and brands figuring out that heavier gauge sound more dull like old dying strings in the low end (to me) and the lighter gauge are more bright and sustain more...maybe its because the lighter gauge fit my nut better making them ring out better also different picks. So many little things change so many other things and sometimes for the better...like a pick! its mental! lol
But anyways...huge progress being made dudes so im currently smiling lots.
Also getting better at dialing in tones. Loads of learning been happening.
Yay!
Hope you are all doing great and thanks again for putting up with my sh*t all these years haha.
Rock on!
