Hello All:

I am new to Jamkazam and new to connecting my Simmons SD7PK kit to anything.  I was able to connect my kit to Addictive Drums after dowloading updated rivers from Simmons.  The issues I am having is that even though Jamkazam recognizes "Simmons e-drums" when I attempt to add it as a MIDI track are:

1. The dialog box below the MIDI device selection does not seem to wanting to pull in the plug-ins (VST or AU plugins) and 
   
2. The third dialog box which allows you to select the instrument always goes back to Electric Guitar even after I seemingly select Drums.  That being said Electric Guitar is the only option that is in bold.
   

Hello everyone,

I just installed Jamkazam yesterday in hopes of playing with a few of my buddies that are also self-isolating, distancing, etc.

Anyway, totally new to this, and I am having trouble getting 2 usb inputs to work on my MacBook Air.  Both usb inputs seem to work fine when I swap between them.  I've been trying to troubleshoot for a couple of hours.

In Audio Gear Setup:

I can get my bass guitar to work via a Rocksmith/Ubisoft real tone cable, or my vocal mic (cheap USB mic) but it seems that I cannot have (2) audio tracks/input working at the same time.  I keep getting the same Alert message that says:

You have no more unassigned input ports.
You can free some up by editing an AUDIO track.

Any help is appreciated. It looks like there are some threads out there with similar problems, i.e., Add Audio Track Does Nothing.  Not sure if we are sharing the same problem.  

Ideas? Help?

The only workaround I have figured out is to use a pair of apple 3.5mm mini earbuds to listen and add a mic thru the Mac headphones plug.  This definitely keeps me on a leash right in front of the laptop, and not as nice as my Sennheiser headphones.

Thanks.

What is an affordable suggestion for a two channel mixer that can connect to my Mac that has low latency and works with JamKazam?

Hello, 

When I click on the Video button nothing happens. It doesn't even give me the option to find a camera device. I attempted to start a livestream and got a message saying "Error processing video frame for broadcast."  My ultimate goal is to livestream a video session with me and 2-3 other people, but so far I haven't the slightest idea how to get that started. Any help would be appreciated!

Now I received a further suggestion from the Behringer Musictribe forum expert:

Open the UMC Control Panel and check on the [b]Buffer Settings[/b] tab. A buffer size of 256 or 512 should be OK. I run mine with [b]Safe Mode[/b] checked (on).

I responded:

thanks for the new suggestion about the buffer settings.

Has anyone had success using a Helix floor as the audio interface for guitar and mic?  Tried it this weekend and others in the group reported high latency from me.  Is there a setting on the Helix to improve this?

Thanks!

I am new to Jamkazam but not new to the challenges of what this software may offer.  I would like to listen to some sessions before I go through all the anticipated headaches of getting set up to use Jamkazam.  Will this feature be turned on again?  Thanks,  Richard

I have a desktop Windows 10 computer.  I am getting the message "The system is in balanced mode.  Switch to High Performance mode."  What is  "High Performance mode" and how do I make that switch?

I want to create a session with approval of musicians joining. I use Quick Start Solo button. My friend tries to join sending a request. I see that request in the buttom of screen for a couple of second but can't catch it with mouse until it vanishes. Could the process be more user friendly?

Hello,

does anybody of you have experiences in using Jamkazam via mobile internet (LTE-net) ?

what does the latency? how much traffic causes a 6-person session approximately (without video) ?

 thanx for your answers and keep sterile!
