Best 2 channel interface for Mac? |

Working on getting our band setup with interfaces (still).
I already own a Behringer UMC1820, from what I can tell it seems to work well, I usually get a latency of 2.5ms, the jitter is the only thing on my screen that once in a while goes yellow, everything else seems to stay in the green.
I had planned on suggesting the Behringer UMC204HD to the other band members (drummer, bass, other guitarist), however our bass player uses a Mac. I've been going over threads in this forum trying to learn more and a few have said a better choice when using a Mac is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 over the Behringer because of the way Apple interfaces with the Behringer unit.
Would this be your first choice for a Mac? Any others to consider?
Thanks!

Thursday Nov 12 - Total Disaster |

New client update. Visible changes include a number of new options are now the default in network route including: Prefer Warm Connection, Prefer Session Creator Server, Auto-migrate Session To Closest Server, Prefer Sticky Session Path.
Regular weekly 6-player session. It took us one solid hour before we could all join the same session and hear each other (reasonably) well. During that hour we created and abandoned a number of sessions, players had difficulty joining sessions, players went silent and had to drop out and restart JK client. A lot of intermittent crackling the entire time. One player had cracking consistently.
Observations/ Experience:
- players had difficulty joining sessions. Came in as 'gray ghosts' and audio we never established.
- when leaving a session to try rejoining, I again saw 'artifacts of sessions past' - I saw players purportedly in the session I just left that I know were not really there. I saw my players in 'other sessions' with other players which I knew was also not the case. Hitting 'Refresh' on the session list sometimes worked and erased those false sessions but sometimes that action just hung up the JK client.
- we all heard intermittent clicking during the session. One player head it 100% of the time. He started his own session and said it was fine but as soon as we joined the clicking returned. He muted us one by one to see if the issue could be attributed to specific players but it could not.
- a couple of times, if one player 'Resync'-ed then the volume level for one or more other players would rise or drop in the ears of some session members.
- inconsistent volume. Sometimes a player would get suddenly loud. Sometimes a player would get suddenly soft and turning up the input level and personal mix level still did not result in a satisfactory volume.
Overall an utter disaster. Those 'arrtifact sessions' might be related to the 'Prefer Sticky Session' feature or is just a cache inconsistently on JK - I don't know - but clearly an error. No explanation for the clicking - nobody mucked with their audio interfaces since earlier successful sessions.
My advice to users: If you experience any/all of these issues maybe have all session members uncheck all those Network Route options except 'Peer-to-peer'. Then, possibly, you'd be back to the setup you had before this update (JK was still not great before the update but it was better than post-update).
My advice to JK: If you're going to use your live user base as testers, assign new features at the session level and do some A/B implementation - activate new features in some sessions and not in others and MONITOR HOW THE SESSIONS ARE PERFORMING. This might help you understand when and how issues are introduced.

Bandmates Can't Hear Me |

I'm running the condenser mic on my double bass into an acoustic image ten2. I'm then connecting the direct line from my amp and a separate talk-mic through a behringer UMC202HD and the only thing my bandmates could hear was the talk mic. My settings were fine for me--I could hear everything well through the headphone out of the UNC, but there was nothing coming through at all from the line for my bass,
Thoughts?

Not all inputs showing? |

I've just managed to jam with my band, but the "Personal Mix" settings aren't showing every input. Two of us have two inputs: guitar and voice. Under "Personal mix", I only see voice for my bandmates, and they only see my guitar. But I hear the other guitarist's vocals and guitar, and his guitar is plugged directly into the audio interface, so it can't be mic bleed.
Under "Audio inputs", I see two entries for myself, and my bandmates see that for themselves, too.
They are on Mac, I am on Windows 10.

I am running Jamkazam build 2.00 version 1.0.3913 and Windows 10 build 19041.630. Can anyone confirm that they can jam with JK using either the MOTU M2, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen or Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2 on these JK and Windows 10 versions without issues?

Stereo microphone setup - Mac suggestions |

I bought two (why not stereo) Shure MV5 mic's for my Mac, to setup my wife (serious amateur musician) with JamKazam for chamber music work.
- searched high and low, then found out from Ms. "Music Repo" on YouTube that I had to set up an aggregate device with Apple Midi Setup utility to handle two channels
- aggregate stereo device worked great - left and right mic's
- Audio tool on Finder screen gave the mics both the name "Shure MV5", but the Midi setup tool could differentiate them

Behringer UMC202HD |

Installed Behringer UMC202HD today. It installed OK with downloads from Behringer Website, it's listed in Device Manager, and is set as default in Sound Manager.
It tests OK for Input and Output, it works with Audacity. BUT JK wont accept it. I've followed through all the steps in the instruction video yet when I go "Manage - Audio Configuration" it only offers two Options - For Behringer 404HD and 202 and it cant find either, which is not surprising as I've not installed either.
I've found a number of similar threads posts but none seem to offer a solution that helps. Laptop is new Dell Inspiron 1500.

Just a little while ago the I/O Rate of my JK setup on my iMac running Catalina with a Behringer UM2 digital audio interface was green and working fine. Now it turned just red and my audio gear has failed. What happened?

Distortion in voice chat microphone |

I am new to JK. I am using an iMac running Catalina 10.15.7 and a Behringer UM2 digital interface. I have a hardwired Ethernet cable to the computer. The audio from my electric bass guitar though one of the UM2 inputs seems fine in my headphones, but the Voice Chat is highly distorted at a Frame Size setting of 1 where I get the best Latency test result of 8.27 ms. If I change the Frame Size setting to 2, the distortion largely goes away, but the latency test result increases to 10.27 ms and is labeled as "fair". I don't want to bother people by jumping into a session and having them get frustrated with me due to having only "fair" latency. Will this be a problem? I've tried using a separate microphone plugged into the second channel of the UM2 interface (and adding a second audio interface in JK). Neither of these configurations eliminates the distorted audio from my voice in the headphones at a Frame Size setting of 1. Comments most welcome. Thank you.
