So, I pulled the trigger today and got the QC. Changed all settings to my liking and attempted the Capture.

SURPRISE!

Input 2 is loose for 1/4”. Damn.

XLR is tight. Great.

I would appreciate help with following QUESTIONS:

Is it OK to use XLR to capture Kemper profiles? and how do I set it up on QC (microphone instead of instrument) at Calibrating stage? and do I have to put all the dials on Kemper presets to be at noon?

It is possible has I’ve done this in the past. I did have trouble with the front input on the kemper being to hot (could just be mine) so I used the alternative or return input on the kemper. You don’t have to change dials to noon, do what sounds good to you and just do a few captures with it. Once you’ve got to the level settings on the capture page on the qc you can change input type. Hope this helps
