Hi all !
This is a strange thing I'm starting to see.
I now have a KPA Stage and am well aware of what LP's are ... how they work and how they "should" be done - been messing with the ones in the 3 Official packs and a handful of free LP's from TJ ... they all work great !
In my opinion, the "ideal" way to do a LP is one of two ways:-
=> set Gain to Full and EQ;s to 12.00 and do a Studio Profile and a Direct/Merged Profile -and/or-
=> set Gain to Full and EQ's to FULL and do a Studio Profile and a Direct/Merged Profile
[ and if at all possible -don't- use a Load Box ... but rather Tap a DI off a connected speaker to keep a genuine-real-speaker impedance load on the Amp ]
So ... i.m.h.o .... I cant see any technical reason to have more than 4 x LP's to cover your bases for a given Amp channel to ensure you get its full range as authentically as possible.
So ..... why are some sellers starting to release LP Packs with 20, 30, 50, 70+ LP's at different "sweet spot" settings.
Sure, if you are using different mics and different Cabs then you will need to cover those ... but other than that, its just pointless.
My thoughts ?
I think sellers are worried / scared that people won't pay $10 <-> $30 for a pack of just 4 or so LP's so they are "padding up" their packs to make them seem "packed with value" to give buyers the "sense" that they are getting "more".
Anyone else noticing this trend ?
