Ok, this maybe a far fetched one but I'm going to try to see if any of you have experience with this setup:
So the Axe Fx III is basically the centerpiece of my DAW. It's my USB soundcard and I record all my DIs with it. Even when I record my real amps with the LB-2 loadbox, those are in one of the loops so that I can always record my DIs along with the amped signal. I'm going to have a Kemper stage in the studio soon to make some profiles of my tube amps and I'm trying to come up with a good setup that doesn't get in the way of my current workflow too much.
I want to capture my profiles using my loadbox and I'm going to be making direct profiles to use with IRs in the Kemper itself OR IR processing in the Axe Fx. The obvious setup to me would be to just put the Kemper in my 'amp loop', so go from output (2, 3 or 4) to the Kemper, that to my amp, that to my LB-2 loadbox and that back to an input (2, 3 or 4). My guitar will be going in the normal front input. I expect that this should work fine.
However, I was also thinking about putting the Kemper in a seperate loop of the Axe Fx and then routing everything in a preset so that the amp and loadbox's signal come in the signal chain where they need to be, if that makes sense? That would mean though that when I'm profiling an amp, those profiling noises will have to go into an input of the Axe Fx first before it hits the amp with the loadbox. I heard that those Kemper sounds are very loud. I don't want those Kemper test noises to be dynamically altered when it's going into the Axe Fx. I suspect it should work fine as long as I set the input levels low etc. But maybe someone else has experience with such a setup?
I'll have the Kemper in a few days so I will come back here to report about my findings if everybody is curious...

This is not about what's better, having a Kemper in the studio will be beneficial for me in multiple ways. It will be fun to make tonematches of my amps as well, should sound very accurate!
