I bet all you need to do is long hold the INPUT and select the SPDIF Input.

That has been selected all along...all I get is no sound or just feedback
 
Without having your exact DAW interface its impossible to tell you what to do. Basically though, it sounds like your interface is routing the SPDIF IN back through the SPDIF OUT creating a feedback loop.
 
That's what I'm thinking too but I have no idea how to fix it. I started a new recording session and I have 1 track with the dry recorded signal. I just can't get sound to it without it feeding back.

How would the sound come back into the Scarlett from the Kemper? I'm assuming the spdif too?

Keep in mind I'm an idiot...... :D and it may not at all be related to your problem but have you tried the monitoring off on that track?

I believe I tried that but will try again when I get a chance. If monitoring is off, how would I hear it? I'm pretty sure my troubles are all in the Scarlett/reaper settings. I just don't know what the correct settings are.

Yeah just shooting from the hip with my very limited experience since I've not tried to reamp with my Kemper and I don't use Reaper. I'm assuming if that worked you'd have to just use your meters for level then record the track with monitoring off and then listen to it after you record. IMHO you really shouldn't have to do that. Still I think it's probably something else but thought it was worth a try. I think the feedback loop suggestion was probably more than likely the culprit.
 
I don't know Reaper, but I reamp all the time with my Kemper in Pro Tools. I may be stating the obvious, but make sure you have 2 cables:

S/PDIF OUT of the KPA connected to S/PDIF IN of your interface
S/PDIF IN of the KPA connected to S/PDIF OUT of your interface

In PT, once I have my dry track I route the output of that track via S/PDIF OUT. I create and arm another track for recording the wet signal and select S/PDIF IN as the input. Hit record and as it plays through, the reamped signal gets printed to the wet track.

I understand what b you're saying but I don't understand how to route all this stuff. As I said at the top, I basically have always plugged in, armed track 1 and hit record. No routing involved...

Well routing is the key. I would start by clicking the i/o button on the tracks channel fader. This should bring up available routing options. You should be able to select S/PDIF from there.

Yeah, I'm doing something wrong because nothing is happening no matter what I click anywhere. No reamp sound or feedback coming through anywhere.
 
Have you gone into Reaper preferences and made sure that SPDIF shows up as an input AND an output choice on your audio device settings?

<Options -> Preferences -> Audio Device>
 
Yes Pete. I at least got that right. lol

On the Kemper I have the spdif input enabled and the spdif output set to master stereo. Is that correct?
 
I don't mean to throw you of course here but doesn't the Kemper have to be set as the Master Clock when using S/PDIF?

BINGO!!! Set the spdif out of the scarlett to Slave.

Also, use this link to check out the KPA Wiki. Look at the bottom of the very first post for the KPA Wiki pdf file and download it. Search the file for reamping. The KPA Wiki covers reamping in several places and includes a basic routing diagram...non-DAW-specfic.

I've had that file for a few days but it doesn't help me since it's basically chinese to me. I kinda need someone to go through my setup step by step.
