Appreciate it!!

Sounds perfect!

you could run 20 signals through it at the same time, no problem...

try the Tonex by IK Multimedia!

@@joeyjooones Thank you...I will check it out!

In my opinion, the quality of the preamps makes a difference, but the difference is rather small. I wouldn’t expect a significant difference in sound. Choosing a UA interface had more to do with the plugins, since I track and mix a lot. So I don’t think upgrading is worth it if all you want to do is upgrade the sound. There a bigger levers to do so, e.g. pedals, better amp/modeler/plugin, etc…

Please reply 😊

Totally agree!

Hey! With that budget I’d definitely go with used ones, you get far more for your money and these things are usually built like tanks so they don’t break. For 500$, you might be in the sphere of some Adam A5X which are (in my opinion) far better speakers than the Yamahas. Used Focals might be an option too. I used the A5X for 8 years until I recently bought these new ones and achieves awesome results. ☺️ If you 100% want either yamahas or line6s, I'd go with the yamahas.

@@joeyjooones thank you for responding. I will look into the Adam A5X. Thanks

Yes the Kemper has USB Audio but guys who already own an Interface just carry on using it. But if you don't have an Interface you can just use the Kemper.

Not really. I record a lot of other sources as well. :)

Because guitar is not the only source I record.

The baby Kemper is like $600. There are tons of great plug ins free to cheap. If you don’t need a bunch of different amps, the UA Lion pedal is every great Marshall tone, UA Ruby is every great Vox, and 65 Dream is blackface Fender - each in one pedal for $400 a piece.

@@aronbaumel thank you sir! suggest me a free great plugin please, thank you so much!

Good eye! Bought a Mac mini last week, mainly to future proof and needed a bigger hard drive (my MacBook Air only has 256GB which is nothing when you do video and audio). That said the MacBook Air never gave me any problems. Would still recommend that if your budget is tight. I am using logic. Kemper rack vs standard, there is no difference except the portability.

@@joeyjooones I get it, I filled up TWO macbook airs in my time. Ive used protools for a longtime. my old G5 died so looking for new options. Logic isn't something Ive used or researched. I do have a shopping list after watching your video. Thats a lot for that. haha :)

@@gitrdanny1 the new Apple M-chips are so powerful that you can literally go with the base models and a big hard drive, unless you're doing huge projects... for audio, base configuration Macbook Air is juuust fine.

@@joeyjooones what you using for your drum tracks?

Have you used other DAWs like protools, cakewalk, cubase etc? what was the learning curve on logic like for you? @@joeyjooones

No. I just happen to have one. Since this video came out a lot of other cool products came out that can basically do the same thing.

Because I record more than just guitars in my studio. I will always need an interface for vocals, acoustic guitars, keys...

Thanks a lot for your answer. So it is a matter of the number of inputs and outputs that are available? Oh you also said vocals . Ok I get that because otherwise I think that a Kemper stage has 4 of each. Thanks again. Much appreciated. U am very new to this and trying to make sense of it.

@@photoxposition it's not only about vocals it's also about the fact that some sound sources shouldn't go through a Kemper - pretty much everything except electric guitars.

depends on how much mixing you want to do with the UAD plugins. If it's little to no mixing, take the DUO and be fine. If you're into production and mixing, editing drums, guitars and basses etc., take a quad.

@@joeyjooones I can get either for about the same price. I don't know enough about the mixing part to decide. been watching many videos of folks using those plugins. almost too hard to hear the differences in some of those plugins. Im not gonna be doing any drum mixing im sure. Its easier to take the lazy way out. :) Where are you doing most of your mixing?

@@gitrdanny1 Logic/Pro Tools. I guess the DUO is just fine for your needs, unless you can have the quad for the same money.

You da man jooooones!

I've a marshall DSL20 HR into a 2x12 loaded with celestion greenbacks with pulsonic cones. I mic it with a SM57 and feed it into a cheap scarlett USB device. Always have great tone back through the monitors. Tried the whole digital thing and wouldn't be for me at all. Some folks swear by them though.

Plugins are getting better and better, it depends what u want I think. I usually play of a nighttime, my apartment is on the middle floor.. They hardly ever complained but playing a 100w amp at 3 am in the morning is a concern 😂 This is good for home use Obviously in a practice / Gigging setting you would prefer the tube 😊

I do both, I got a 100w head into a 2x12 mic’d up and use Modelers in my DAW to Double track and hasn’t gave me any bad tones

I'll stick with my analog system,plug into a 5 watt tube amp and mic it up with 2 sm57s.

Don’t lead astray people who’s never played tube amps… you didn’t mention that they create a hum that most modular amp guys will hate

Haha, fair enough! ;-)

Might be, but I need an Apollo for other sound sources as well, like vocals, acoustic guitars, keyboards…

Thanks for answering! I totally understand. Congrats for your studio!@@joeyjooones
