I just managed to get Behringer UM2 and UMC22 audio interfaces working with Jamkazam on Windows10 on Lenovo T520 (at least in a solo session, together with jamtracks).

Those interfaces do not come with a specific ASIO driver, but simply rely on the generic Asio4All (asio4all.org). On a Windows machine, this driver has to be installed. It is said not to be compatible with any proprietary Asio drivers.

The key to me is this post regarding Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd interfaces: https://forum.jamkazam.com/showthread.php?tid=1294

It advises to set the Audio Frame Size to a low value in JK via Manage -> AudioSettings -> Audio Booster).
In the case of my Behringers, 2 ms worked best for me (when hovering on the JK session status, JK displays 1 ms, don't understand why).

Another very sensitive parameter is Hardware Buffer (Manage -> AudioSettings -> Open Asio Panel): Activate, and set the Buffer Offset to as low a value as possible (if too low, you get jitter/noise). For me 5 ms.

ASIO BufferSize 88 Samples.

Checkboxes for resampling and WDM Driver set off.

Don't forget to resync everytime you change an adjustment.

As a result, I got latencies from 10 to 13 ms (depending on who knows what).

A problem still left is crackling when playing (electric guitar, in my case). From what I've read that probably is a problem of the asio4all driver, which is said to be sensitive to low computing capacities, concurrent processes, whatever. Maybe I should try it on a newer/faster machine with less other processes running.

I hope that helps :-)

Hello everyone, just found out about JamKazam this week and our band wants to start using it. 

What internet speed is really needed? I know the specs say 1 Mbps upload but I see posts from other users online and opinions of course vary. 

There are 4 of us in the band, two of us have Fiber connections although I'm not sure what speed they actually have. 

I have a 2Mbps upload/25Mbps download, the other guy has 1Mbps upload/10Mbps download. I'm thinking the two of us need to upgrade our speed but would like to hear from others what is really needed to make best use of JamKazam.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, just found out about JamKazam this week and our band wants to start using it. 

I'm looking for some suggestions on interfaces to use. 

I play guitar in the band, don't sing. I already own this unit,

https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0B2J

I know it is overkill but I already own it. I do like to play in stereo so I will make use of at least 2 of the channels. Any known problems with this unit?

There are 3 other members in the band and they are all going to need interfaces, drummer, bass player who sings, other guitarist who sings. 

I'm assuming a 2 channel interface would be a good choice for them, 2 channels for the drummer so he can be in stereo, 2 channels for the other two guys, one for their guitar the other for vocals. 

I have a 16 channel mixer the drummer can use to mic his drums and mix that into the interface. 

Any suggestions on my thought process here? Any suggestions on what interface the other 3 guys should get? The less expensive the better but I don't want to buy something so cheap it isn't going to work well.

Thanks!

Studio Gain Staging

Would be nice if you could see an level /db indicator when setting up your instrument.
there should be separate indicator for each of these tracks.
Maybe next to the volume meter of JK like a little arrow or an highlighted area underneath the slider.

Not every instrument has to be near 0dB. thats more of a live thing.

but because we play mostly on headphones we need to have studio gain staging

Gain Settings

Drums should be around -6dB to -3dB.

Bass around -18dB.

Guitars/keys/etc. around -24dB to -18dB.

And vocals around -12dB.



This would be a solid foundation for a mix.


we just need to lower the gain on non drumtracks and up the level on the interface

Greetings

Hi,

maybe a long shot but..

I would like to request support for MCU controllers.

Im sitting to far away from the iMac when drumming. levels of people who join are always too loud or too quiet.
So If I could use my Behringer X-touch to control the faders/pan/mute/names in a session then that would be awesome.

Probably a lot of people here don't own a MCU controller. 
So maybe an iPad/phone remote app?

Now I need to stop drumming every time some one joins and quickly turn down their track before they can damage my hearing. 

Hi all, new here. I cant seem to get Guitar Rig 5 to work in Jamkazam. It shows on the plugin list and I set it to that plugin, but Im still getting a dry instrument sound through my Scarlet solo.

Session users in Ontario and British Columbia. Have seen the following on 3 separate days.

Session audio works Full duplex for 1 or 2 tunes. Then Ontario can hear local inputs and B.C. inputs. B.C. can only hear B.C. inputs.  Restarting JK does not help. Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Hi,

I am new to Jamkazam and have been trying to export custom mix from Jam Track with no success. I am only wanting to have some tracks slowed down. 
After doing all the process of choosing the tracks to mix and naming the file, a popup window says that it will take about 2 minutes or so and after clicking OK the software doesn't process anything and I just get a triangle with an exclamation icon instead of the folder icon. Clicking on it, the system reports that Custom mix has failed to build and the retry option has no effect either.
 
Am I missing something?  I am using a Mac with Mojave and I have also tried the iOS version with the same results.

Thanks!

   

Hello!  I recently set up Jamkazam on my computer for my fiance to use during his voice lessons.  I'm only using one input--the mic, so I configured the gear to use left-input only. However, the mirrored sound that he gets in the headphones has a slight reverb effect, as if the mirrored sound isn't quite synced up.

Direct monitoring on the 2i is turned off, and the headphones are plugged into the monitor port on the 2i.

Is there any way to fix this in the audio settings?  I'm very new to this software, so any and all help is appreciated!

Just like the "jamtaba" app. It would open up Jamkazam as a vst within the DAW (protools, ableton, cubase, etc..) allowing all the audio/midi routing to be handled by the daw. This makes it much easier to add new tracks/audiodevices/vst's on the fly.  This would also enable users to (for example) record a bassline, play it back and jam over it. This makes jamming much much easier.
