For your own backing tracks used in a session ( not jamtracks) , 3 of the main file types you can use are WAV, OGG and FLAC. These usually vary quite a bit in size and quality. I've been using FLAC but I'm wondering how quality or file size impacts the performance in JK. Specifically in terms of glitches or being able to lower Audio FrameSize below 2.5ms.
In my experience 2.5 is the minimum for glitch-free playback of backing files. WAV files are too large, would I be better off using OGG at around 224 kb/second, which is better than most mp3s and only a fourth the size of my FLAC files.
Just testing out Jamkazam. My audio gear checks out.... but it's not detecting any of my video gear. When I click the pulldown menu, nothing happens.
I've tried connecting my logitech c922 and I also have an elgato capture card connected to a mirrorless camera. I've tried swapping the usb connections so only one is connected at a time... but it's not seeing anything.
System works just fine on Zoom meetings.... but not JamKazam.
I'm running Windows 10 Home on a very capable desktop. When I try to run "test video" it says it's "unable to initialize video window" and to contact support... which I now have. Suggestions?
Anybody getting better than 5.7 milliseconds local latency on windows? I'm talking about you're gear latency while you're in a private session - on windows.
Not total latency that you see between jam mates. If so, what interface are you using and how are the parameters set? 5.7 is what JK shows for my interface, which will not operate at anything other than 44,100 khz Roland HS-5 Session Mixer
Hello everyone. Yesterday afternoon I opened a private session and invited a friend . After a couple of hours we regularly left the session with "leave" command. The day after it is still present in "FOR ME " sessions. My friend also still see it in "FOR ME " sessions . I tried to rejoin and leave more times and same thing did my friend but the session doesn't disappear . I can join again that session and I see me "in Black" perfectly working and also my friend and me "in Gray " not working. While that session is stil present I can join other sessions and play without problems . I can also open a new private session without problems. How can I definitely cancel that "ghost session" ? Thanks.
If you're sending plenty of signal level to the session (level meter is regularly hitting the first red bar), but others in the session still need more volume from you even after pu$ng you all the way up in the personal mix... what's left?
I have never managed to solve a long-running problem where every few minutes, Jamkazam has a few seconds of "wobble" where my sound gets jumbled up like a "storm of static". It's worse if I set my sound setup's buffer below 2ms but it still happens at buffers up to 5ms.
I use a MacBook Pro (i7, 2018) with Existential Audio's Blackhole to feed sound in from GarageBand or MainStage, then default output to headphones via the built in sound card.
I've had a go at using my yeti mic's "output channel" as the output, which doesn't appear to suffer the same problem (but has a separate issue that the direct vocal feedback makes it hard to hear what's going on).
Any tips on stopping the Macbook's built-in sound misbehaving would be much appreciated!
Just paid for Gold member$p. Jamkazam crashes on launch after it pops up a box that says "To use video requires you to be on a supporting subscription plan. Do you want to see the subscription plans available?"
I used the search engine and drew a blank, so asking here for any insights...
I'm running my drum mics through a Behringer QX1222USB mixer, connected to an iMac via USB. I cannot for the life of me figure out where or how to kill the direct monitoring on this thing. There is no real manual for this model with the "Q" prefix, just a Quick Start Guide. The manual for the X1222USB (no Q in the prefix) says you can route the audio from a computer to the main mix "with the 2-TR/USB TO MAIN" button... which button is nowhere to be found on the QX model.
There is an interesting *Note in the Quick Start Guide: "The QX1222USB is intended primarily for live sound mixing. Although the mix can be easily recorded to a computer, low-latency monitoring during recording is not available for this model."
I am using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 3rd gen. I'm trying to set channels 9 & 10 as my output, since that is where my headphones are plugged in. When I go to configure those channels at the output, I receive the attached error when exiting. At this point, I am now stuck. I cannot change 9 & 10 back to 1 & 2 without getting the 4 output channel error. The only thing I can do is quit and restart Jamkazam.
