We use JK 3 or 4 times a week and this problem is happening muliple times in every session. Everything is working fine then the audio path between 2 people starts cutting out. The internet packet loss shows 100% for both people but it only last a couple of seconds then it's fine. But once it starts, that connection will keep cutting in and out. Nobody else in the session is effected. Re-syncing, re-entering the session does not fix it, we have to start a new session and have everybody rejoin. This will usually work for awhile and then the problem reappears, sometimes between the same two people but sometimes between 2 different people.
We are typically all local with good gear and hi speed fibre internet and have no latency issues. It happens between Windows clients and between Windows and Macs.
I am interested in what pianists are using to mike their acoustic pianos for on-line playing with others. It seems that requirements are somewhat different than for recording. One wants isolation between pianist and instrument to best follow "rule #1" and not hear the piano too much directly. I have been using a large diaphragm condenser underneath my Yamaha C7 with the lid closed. I play using noise cancelling, tight fitting headphones. I'm not very satisfied with the results which tend to to be to "clangy" and don't at all capture the warmth and tight bass of the acoustic sound of the instrument. I have much better luck going direct with my keyboard, but the fundamental sound is so much less interesting and nuanced.
I have a pretty good quality USB 2 connected audio interface (Komplete Audio 6) driven from a small mixer. This is really a question about microphone technique, not one about audio interfaces or computers or latenies.
My band is located in the Seattle area with all members in reasonable proximity to each other. So far, I and one other band member have used JamKazam to jam with good results. I just got a request to play a virtual gig for a Christmas party. Since we do not anticipate it being safe to be together, and stream a performance, I am wondering if we could put together a performance on JamKazam and stream it out to an audience? Is this possible, has anyone done this?
Thanks,
Rich
Hello. One of the students at our school has a new MacBook. She installed JamKazam. When she opens the app, it takes a very long time for the app to fully open and when it does there is a box that appears at the top that says "Disconnected from Server, Reconnecting now" or words to that effect. There is another box (I think) at the bottom of the page that just says error.
So far we have tried:
Uninstalling the app, downloading the app again, reinstalling.
Testing both the wired and wired networks to see if that made a difference (the client is using Comcast xFinity)
Followed the directions to make sure no Facebook browser plugins were installed (none were found)
No anti-virus or Malware software has been installed yet.
Checked to see what other applications were running and closed all but essential ones.
Checked to see if the user has admin rights (she does.)
After doing all of these steps, the result is the same. JamKazam comes up very slowly, then when it finally comes up the box that says "Disconnected from Server" appears and no further progress is made. It is a new MacBook Pro. What am I missing?
I am able to record a track and hear the playback. But when I try to upload it says it is in progress--for at least an hour. So I just canceled it. Any advice?
I wanted to attached the prefStats file of the first occurence yesterday of this problem....
We were already jamming for around 1/2 an hour before this PacketRate 0 occured.
But this JK website only allows a maximum of 200 kbs file size.....
This is simply unacceptable ... as log files will tend to be a bit larger as the log file i wanted to attach is
only 258 kb long....
The log file indicates an HTTP Error 403... followed by a JK error
Could not mark the part complete.
FYI, unlike Tuesday evening when there were 5 players, there were only 2 of us during
yesterday's JK session.
I have changed the names... for myself JKJammer1 and my bandmate JKJammer2.
None of the other jammers on Tuesday evening had any packetrate 0 problems.
This only occurs on my JK session with JKJammer2.
Can someone at JK please contact me so I can send them a copy of the prefStats log and tell me how we can correct this problem...
No audio input detected / check audio device input mute control
I get this error message in the lower left part of my screen whenever I join a session
and I am unable to hear other players in the session (they can hear me).
I checked the windows device settings for my Audiobox USB and it seems to be working properly.
I have a great 100mbps down and 35mpbs up cable connection. For some reason though, Jamkazam is always telling me I have low upload speed in a session. Why is this? Any ideas? Screenshot below. Thanks.
