  • Spdif at 44100, or analog input at 96/192 k for recording

    Quote from JSB

    I use 96KHz, over XLR. The reason for this is lower round-trip latency, for use with DAW plugins, and monitoring in real-time.

    If I set my interface and DAW at 44.1KHz, with 128 samples, I get an overall latency of 10-12ms. That's the time it takes for the guitar signal to enter the interface, process through the DAW/plugins, and come back out the monitors.

    When I set my interface and DAW to 96KHz, I get an overall latency of 3.65ms. It sounds great to my ears, and it feels correct, when monitoring in real-time.

    If you haven't tried it, give it a shot, it may surprise some of the doubters out there.

    I was curious when I read your reply, because I also go to DAW through XLR and I set my projects to 44.1KHz and I get 10-12 ms latency.
    But I always thought that when you increase the sample rate the more latency you have. Well, to my surprise when I set the sample rate to 96KHz the latency went down to 6 ms and I don't use plugins and monitoring, just plain Kemper signal.
    Care to explain why it happens? Are the drivers optimised for 96KHz sampling rate?

  • Can a non-powered Kemper blow/break a pair of studio monitors?

    Hi,
    I have a non-powered Kemper with a pair of Yamaha HS7 connected trough the XLR main output on the Kemper.
    I have the recommend level of +4db on the studio monitors and usually around -10db on the Kemper if playing BHP profiles or -5db with MBritt, Top Jimi, Guido profiles.

    Do you think it possible that when playing at that volume I might blow the speakers?
    I'm also getting a little sound distortion at high volumes when the profile is too trebly, but I still didn't find if that distortion is coming form my ears or the speakers :/

    Thank you

  • [Guidorist] Profiles

    Hi Guido,

    I was really interested on several of your packs but the payment methods threw me off. I had a bad experience with PayPal and I closed my account, and regarding the direct bank transfer my bank charges a 2 euro fee for international transfers.
    Please consider Credit/Debit/Visa card payment in the future, I'm sure it would be useful for other people.
    Thank you.

    EDIT: Ok, I just created a new PayPal account and the fee was pretty minimal, so I guess it's not that bad. Please ignore my previous request since it doesn't make sense anymore.

  • Looking for the best JCM 900 DR profile.

    Hi all,
    I'm a big Oasis fan and they used a JCM 900 DR for the first 3 albums, so as you probably guessing, I'm looking to a good JCM 900 DR profile.
    Thing is, I've tried those on the Rig Manager and none seemed good to me (even the Ace rig pack), hope not to offend the owners of the profiles.

    What do you guys recommend for a studio quality profile of a JCM 900 DR? I'm open to commercial and free profiles.

    Thank you
