I have been unable so far to find settings that will enable me to turn off hardware input monitoring in my MOTU Microbook IIc interface and still hear the JamKazam output stream. I set JK to accept 2 Input channels of the interface (a mic and my Pianoteq software piano). JK then automatically required that I use Output channels 1 & 2 of the same interface. I am using a MacBook Air, OSX High Sierra, and the most recent JK update. 

I always hear my piano and mic input directly monitored, on top of the JK output stream. If I mute the MOTU hardware input monitor mix (with MOTU CuemixFX), I can't hear JK output either. How can I turn off input monitoring in the MOTU, yet hear JK through the MOTU outputs?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi all!

How do you handle midi sync? Do you use external apps?

The internal metronome of jamkazam helps to have a fixed reference when just jamming with acoustic gear. But when having drum machines and loops running, it would be essential to have this gear in sync. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I've set up the network as suggested, making sure UDP ports 12000-12010 (overkill, I know) are not changed, and are allowed back in and forwarded to the correct computer.  I grabbed a packet capture of a network test when I was finally able to run one. I saw no packets going out using this UDP port range. I did, however, see STUN traffic, so I did the same with the standard STUN UDP port, reran the test, and it still failed.  I see STUN traffic going to one server (74.125.192.127) and I'm getting replies. I then see it change to another server (63.114.108.101) and I'm getting ICMP port unreachable messages back from it. It continues to send STUN binding requests to both addresses, still getting binding responses from the first and ICMP port unreachable messages from the second. It then switches to sending TCP traffic to 45.79.61.39, first on port 6767 then on 80 (http). At that point the test ends and I get the failure message.  If you need me to send a copy of the Wireshark packet capture, send me an email and I can forward it along.

Thanks,
John

I made a JK recording on my laptop. I now find the same recording as a local file on my PC on which I also have Jamkazam installed and which I log in to now and then. How has it got there? Does JK synch recordings automatically between devices (a bit like Dropbox)? If so can you stop it doing this?

Hi, I use the POD Xt connectd to my PC through USB. The ASIO driver is installed. If I use the ASIO for input and output device I don't get a decent latency ( not below 43ms). Only if I use a differnt output like PODXt Out WDM. Then I can get even round 10ms and also the I/O rate is green. It may work for a while but suddenly I get several warning which are confusing:
1. Your output device default samplerate is 48000 and different than the input samplerate 44100....
2. Your output device default samplerate is 48000 and different than the input samplerate 96000....
3. Your output device default samplerate is 48000 and different than the input samplerate 88200....
4. Not compatible samplerate (32000) found on Audio device

In windows sound control panel I set the POD XT Speaker on output to for 44100 and the same for Pod XT digital on input.
If I change the settings to 48000 I get another warning:
Your input device default samplerate (44100) and output device samplerate (48000) are asymmetric.....
BUT I just change the settings in windows to 44800!!!! Exclusive modus for apps is activated in in and output settings.

HELP............. 

I am still getting to grips with JK. In exploring the various options I have yet to see any way of setting the recording level (or maybe I should say microphone input level). This seems a fairly fundamental thing to need to control. Have I missed it or does JK use auto level? Or maybe I need to control it via the Windows sound settings? I should mention I am using the internal microphone of the laptop - trying to keep things as simple as possible just to get started.

Please could someone explain what frame size means. Is it different to buffer size in the ASIO control panel. I find I need to set Frame Size to the minimum of 2.5 to get acceptable latency. Is there any disadvantage to a small frame size?

I have Bluetooth headphones connected to a laptop running windows 10. They work with, e.g. Windows Audio Player but not when I try to play back a recording with Jamkazam (no sound). If I connect wired headphones instead the JK recording plays back OK. Maybe JK accesses the headphone output at a lower level than the Windows audio system and so does not see the Bluetooth headphones. Any ideas? I much prefer Bluetooth - with a wired connection the headphone wire gets in the way.

Not sure if it's a team or a sole developer.

Anyway, I understood that this project was stalled since a few years (correct me if I'm wrong) but got a "revival" since Covid19 confinement.

Is it perfect? No. Is it buggy sometimes? Yes. However, it helps us musicians to play music together with relatively acceptable latency. We could complain that latency is too high and sometimes variable but hey, it's free and we can make music together. It's hard for me as a drummer but we will try the built-in metronome next time. 

It's better to make imperfect music (rhythmic wise) than not playing with friends at all!

So, thanks and take care

Is there a solution to the avatar problem. I've noticed a few avatars.
