We have a trio of wind players who have been using JK with reasonable success for a couple of years using small Focusrite Scarlett interfaces on Windows systems.  (Spotty Internet service has been our biggest problem.)  I am looking for advice about upgrading our configuration so that two of us can play from the same location on the same session.  We play recorders, so there is only one input per player.  Is it as simple as upgrading the interface to support two      headsets?

And what devices do people recommend?  I see the Focusrite 8i6 has enough inputs and headset outputs, and we are already familiar with their equipment.  Are there other brands & models we should consider?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I've upgraded to Sonoma, and my partner is having problems with both my sound and video. I see and hear him clearly.

We both see my meters move when I speak or play, but he hears nothing (I hear myself through my headphones).

My video is smeared for both of us--I tried two different cameras and got much different, but both unusable, results.

Anybody manage to do better?

My interface is a Focusrite Scarlett Solo, and I'm running an M1 Pro Macbook, Sonoma 14.0.

Thanks,

Chris

]I am unable to select "desired genres"  on the "edit profile: current interests" page of "my account". My "Desired Genre" still displays "None specified". 

I have searched the forums and can find no references to this. I'm sure I'm overlooking something very basic, but I can't figure out what.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I am an intermediate oud player, looking for same and/or saz, kanun etc to play together and develop a repertoire. Any takers? I live in Berkeley so East Bay would be great. Probably prefer to meet in person now that the weather is getting nicer...

Hi there. 

My question is - is it possible to have two inputs assigned to the chat. The audio configuration utility only allows a single source to be assigned to the chat. 

A bit of background .... My band has been using JK since the beginning of the pandemic. Recently, our bass player has joined our guitarist at his house. They've been using a usb room mic for the chat but it's not very good. The guitarist has upgraded his mixer to a Soundcraft 12FX which has 4 USB outputs to the computer. Outputs 3 and 4 are the overall mix (guitar, bass, etc). USB output 1 and 2 map to mixer input 1 and 2. We'd like to use those for two microphones. One for the guitarist's chat and the other for the bassist's chat. But we can only assign one output to the chat. We'd like to assign both. Is it possible? 

I know we could do this with a more sophisticated mixer. For example, we have a Soundcraft UI-24 where we could assign the two mics to an aux bus and then assign the corresponding USB channel for the aux bus to the JK chat. Unfortunately, we aren't in a position to use that for this situation. 

I expect this can't be done with our current configuration, but we thought we'd put it out there to our smart friends on this forum. 

Thanks

I had to get a new Mac and now I can’t get JamKazam to launch.  I keep getting the Audio Subsystem Unstable message.  I’ve tried resetting the audio MIDI setup and going into GarageBand, etc. but nothing is working.  Advice welcome.

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?

HELP!
