Hi David, I am using a much simpler setup on Jamulus. I connect a USB desktop mic to my laptop and use it for my fiddle and voice. I connect my Headphone to the 1.3mm audio input on the laptop. I use an ethernet cable and connect to a fast server. If someone joins your group, you can mute them while playing. Only problem is if someone is far away from the server, they lag a bit and everyone starts slowing down. Thanks for the video.

So, so my question is for anyone who has used both Jamulus and JamKazam, which do you find works better/reduced latency/quality sound?

The delay is (self monitoring is hardly noticeable) and with a hardware synth. With a soft synth,there will be delay introduced by that. and wifi connection will introduce a 3-4 ms latency (assuuming no other devidess online). gigabit wire ethernet only introduces a 0.3 ms latency..

This is a nice tutorial for Jamulus. Wondering if you have figured out or know of how to send video at low latencies that is synchronized with the audio. In my band, there is a need for the musicians to be seeing each other while performing as the 'main' artist provides a rather complex beat cycle with a hand movement, and the accompanying artists take cues from the hand movements/beat cycle to introduce impromptu embellishments (some math involved) that have to fit in the cycle. Any thoughts?

Since you don't care about the latency of what the click track is hearing (because it's just outputting clicks), it's okay that it's running with this extra software.

David if I'm showing that the latency is 40 Ms for instance while on Wi-Fi why would I necessarily have to hook up directly with an ethernet cable? After all the results are what they are being received as while plugged in as Wi-Fi. Has anybody run any tests and those tests indicating that the latency is all over the place when using Wi-Fi? The reason I ask is because I don't have available ports, my laptop does not have Wi-Fi or do I have available USB to use a adapter. So that's my only option is Wi-Fi. So it makes sense to me that as long as the latency Test shows low latency while Wi-Fi is plugged in. It'll be maintained at say 40 Ms throughout the entire jam session. Now if anybody has done tests to show that the Wi-Fi is not stable and that large latency comes in unpredictably from time to time let me know thank you

40ms is pretty low in telephony terms, but for live rehearsal I think you would feel it. Especially if your bandmates have about the same. Wired LAN is far better if you can make it work! Perhaps you can get a new dongle to open up some USBs and get an Ethernet port?

Really helpful walkthrough for non-IT folks. Sadly the reality for me so far has been is that shared broadband connections are so hammered at the moment with everyone at home that all of these remote jamming tools seem to fail as soon as one of the band members has an unreliable connection or a substantially different latency than the rest of the group. Roll on live music!! I know that you understand this and your video feeds to the band were just for the KZitem tutorial but just to comment for non IT folk that having a video feed like zoom or facetime or a youtube broadcast at the same as Jamulus is going to destroy your jamming session. You need ALL your network capacity for the jam and should close ALL other apps browers etc that use the network. Thanks for posting this though and I will try this tool and report back ..... :)
