I used the AKG 271 but got a chance to compare them to Ultrasone Pro 750 and DT 770.

The clear winner is the Ultrasone Pro 750 (besides the price) - I love to the sound of them - not sure if they are really flat but I love the tone i get.

Hi Carsten,

sorry for the late response - currently I have limited Internet access.

Thanks for the screenshot - I have basically the same settings in mix control - I use the "Zero Latency Tracking" preset.

I was also able to create the 'cancellation' (as mentioned by HELL-G) by enabling monitoring of the guitar track in my DAW so this is not cause for the difference I hear.

After adjusting the volume levels of the kemper and the focusrite the difference is not as noticeable as before but the
focusrite still seems "brighter" to me and I prefer the sound I get via the Kemper (which HELL-G refers to with "punch" I guess).


I think there is nothing wrong with my setup and the missing punch can be dialed in with the EQ.

I want to thank all of you for your help and support - I really enjoy the kemper community !!!

Hi Carsten,

it really sounds like we experience the same "problem" - could you please elaborate on the routing settings of Mix Control.
It could very well be that I messed up routing.

What I forgot to mention - the Kemper runs on the latest 2.6 Beta Firmware !


thanks in advance

Hi all,

@viabcroce
I tried to get the information for the Focusrite 6i6 but I was not able to find anything (http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-inte…/specifications) but I'm no expert so maybe the information is hidden on the page.
The Headphones AKG 271 have an impedance of 55 ohms and a sensitivity of 91 db SPL/mW.

I really like the space parameter and thought it would be automatically enabled for SPDIF (when disabled for Headphones) or is there a setting I miss ?

thanks for all the help !!!

Thanks again

what information whould you exactly need ? Basically the only difference at home is that I have some Monitors connected to the focusrite aswell - so i think i should have everything with me to provide any additional information.

Hi HELL-G,

thanks for the quick response. At the moment I dont use any DAW (Reaper in my case - but when I use Reaper it actually sounds different).
I'm really new to all the components Kemper,Focusrite and Reaper so it's more then likely that I cause the problem.
Regarding higher output of the kemper - could that be what i interpret as "thinner" or should it be really the same just not as loud ?

cheers

Hi all,

I'm currently on vacation and took my kemper with me
I didnt bother to setup my Focusrite 6i6 and laptop (my home setup) and instead directly connected my headphones (AKG 271) directly into the kemper headphone output - and i was blown away by the sound.

I then setup the my usual setup Guitar -> Kemper -> SPDIF Out -> Focusrite 6i6 SPDIF IN -> Headphones plugged into the Focusrite and the guitar sounds like "far away" (really "thin" - dont know how to describe it better).
The sample rate of the Focusrite is 44.1 kHz, SPDIF is set as Sync Source, Kemper SPDIF Out is set to Master Stereo.

I own the MW - RokPak and I love the tones when connected to the Kemper directly but when the signal is routed over the Focusrite it sounds just ok.

Is there anything I do wrong ? Any help is highly appreciated !

cheers
Joachim

Quote from digbob

no it works
i changed nothing
can anyone explain what happened

Hi,
i just looked at the xml-files which are received from the RigExchange - some attribute names changed (no more "_" in some of them) and now the synching works again (seems strange as underscores seem to be valid in xml attributes - but anyways)- hurray.

thanks to devs for the quick fix !

cheers

Hi,

i also have the same problem - RigManager wont update any more.

I found the DebugLog.txt which provides some information :

------------- session start 2014-04-10 12:17:25------------------
V1.0.40.9569
...
...

XML parsing error 5: Line 3, Col 148: syntax error in attribute

0 files in XMLs
Start downloading 0 rigs from RE
unspecified RE download error
DL command returned error 0

Hope that helps the devs.
