Hi there! Does anyone else have this problem? I imported a master quality backing track into my session and the quality is absolutely useless! Otherwise all the live audio tracks from vocals and guitars are fine. Until now I had a great response from support, but for some reason they don't want to touch this issue. Hope someone can help. Otherwise I will sadly have to forget about Jamkazam.
I wonder if anyone has had that problem? I imported a master quality backing track into the session and it's distorting. Can't use it. Big disappointment. All the other instruments and voices in the session are fine.
Hello Forum! I'm a newbie trying to run my first session with my music partner. I was able to monitor my mic and guitar channel thru my headphones in Jamkazam earlier today. But not anymore. No signal. I didn't change anything. Can anyone imagine where the problem is? I attached a screenshot. If you can help please respond at rickguitar1@yahoo.com thanks, Rick
To start, here is what I'm working with:
Win 11, very capable PC, sufficient internet, Soundcraft Signature 16 mixer/interface with drivers installed.
Here are my settings when configured:
Audio input is Soundcraft USB Audio ASIO, Audio Output same as device
Sample rate set to match, which is 48000hz, Frame size 2 seems to be the clearest with 4.83ms latency and I/O rate 500, var 0.23(both green)
Advance to set 5 to play test sound and there is a slight buzz or static at the end of the playback but the rest is clear(worse on any other frame size. I have had it completely clear before)
After completing setup and moving into a test session my audio is working and all in the green(vocals not as clean and clear as i have heard before, but working. Some tweeking is needed somewhere else still but maybe clear up when other issues get resolved)
If I use Audio Input Line WDM, and Output speakers WDM, Sample rate match, Frame size 5(low as i can go without terrible sound), latency is 10ms, I/O rate 200 Var 0(all green), I have the same test session results. When i close the program and open again, i dont get the same error messages but there is crazy echo in my vocals and my latency and frame size have increased to 40ms
When I first started using this mixer/interface with JKZ, it was working fine. Now every time I open it to use, I have to setup my audio gear each time because i get 2 error messages saying no audio configuration and high latency. The only way is to start over and add my gear in again fresh for it to work.
What am i missing?
What do i try next?
Is this a driver issue?
Do I use WDM or ASIO input?
Do I download and use ASIO4All instead of my interface driver?
Every other application works, Garage Band, Sonobus, Jamulus, my DAW. Everything is freshly downloaded and installed on a brand new Macbook Air (M2) Chipset. I have run through your help link and everything is configured like it says in the Forum.
Like I said brand new laptop, 8GB RAM, running ventura 13.1 Focusrite 18i8. Worked with my old MacBook Pro Mid 2013 It did not prompt for any Rosetta 2 installation. I noticed under Settings / Security / Privacy that all the apps (Discord, Garage Band, Jamulus, Logic Pro, OBS, Sonobus) are all listed and enabled. Not sure if this will fix JK, nor do I see a way to add it to the list.

So I'm on an Intel IMAC, plenty of power and 16gb of ram.
I'm using an aggregate of the presonus studio live 16r and Blackhole.
I can't seem to get through the audio setup in jamkazam without the app hanging up at some point and giving me the spinning beach ball and stops responding.
I'm also using Logic MainStage as my DAW. I have my MainStage setup perfectly and my outputs are going to blackhole 3/4 which are also being used as the inputs in Jamkazam. the outputs in jamkazam are 17/18 which are outs 1/2 from the presonus.
It was all working ok on an older presonus 1818vsl but wanted to upgrade my interface for something more current. I'm able to run any and all other apps like Sonobus and Jamulus without any issues at all, it's only Jamkazam that simply will not let me even get through an audio setup without hanging on me. I've since cancelled my subscription, but this is a last ditch effort for you to provide some support for me to even consider using this software again.
Please let me know what other information you need.
I have been running JamKazam on my MacBook Pro (M1 chip) for months with no problems. I recently updated the operating system on the MBP from Monterey to Ventura and now JK does not execute properly - there is no text on the screen. I have deleted JK from the MBP, emptied the trash, rebooted the MBP, and reinstalled JK. The problem still exists. I would be most grateful for any advice on a fix.
In addition to the JamKazam built-in quickstart session types, it would be nice to have custom templates to start a session right away, such as specifying all the session parameters: Genre, name, description, access: open or by RSVP, notation files, etc.
So we could define our own session types, like this:
Rock Session / "Classic Rock all night..." / open /
Jazz Session / "Real book Jazz" / RSVP / Friends follow musician access / Notation files
Hello, New to JamTracks, love the concept, but wondering if someone could please help me understand a few things:
1. it is still an active program that is growing with new tracks being added or if it is stalled and not developing any further?
2. Are songs contributed by users?
3. How do we pay for songs and when we do can we store them off the site or is it just a streaming access form this site?
Thanks,
Bob
