I'm not yet sure how well the automatic muting/unmuting of chat works, but it seems to me that it would be very handy to be able to mute/unmute the chat mic (or any selected channels) with the space bar.

Hello everyone,

I've plugged in my Edirol UA-101 interface in Jamkazam for the first time today.

I've tweaked the ASIO settings for buffer size and I'm on ultimate power settings, but I just get terrible latency numbers:

Latency: 73.86ms
I/O rate 397
Var 5.81

Latency was a whopping 350ms+ before tweaking everything.

Where it gets extremely odd is if I switch to WDM, which should be slower, I then get:

Latency: 20ms
I/O rate 100
Var 0.32

ASIO works fine with Cakewalk, I get no latency. I'm expecting latency in the low teens or even below 10ms.

I've tried it on my other (older and slower) windows 10 PC and I get the same problem.

Does anyone have the same issue? Or any pointers at to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for looking

Fred

I play different instruments, and my audio setup is often different.  Sometimes it's guitar on one channel and vocals on another.  Other times it's stereo keyboards with built-in mic for voice chat.  Or I may have my guitar but no mic set up, so I need voice chat.  No doubt I'll have other options in the future.  I'd rather not have to edit my channels each time I join a session.  I'd like to have my favorite setups at hand, with a name I provide, in the list of audio profiles.

Currently it seems we only get one profile per audio device, and the name is the name of the audio device.

The simplest solution might be to add "Save settings as ..." next to the "Save Settings" button in the "Configure Tracks" panel.

My band is interested in using JamKazam, but before we make the attempt to set it all up - has anyone had success jamming across the country? I'm in Boston and trying to play with my bandmate in Texas. Or will there be too much latency regardless of how strong our network connections are?

The Youtube videos show people practicing with low latency - but it notes that they are all located in the same state..

Thanks in Advance!

• Probably not related but I wonder what auto throttle on the Audio Booster page is doing to the flow of data out into the internet.  Could it affect jitter ( also known as buffer bloat)?It's interesting that setting auto throttle on the network packet size grays out the individual choices but auto throttle on the bit rate doesn't gray out the individual bit rate choices.... I'm getting good latency now on the 1 millisecond experimental frame rate choice but when I used that a few weeks ago it Interfered with playing back jam tracks or my own audio files.... Other musicians in the session we're hearing Interference but they didn't hear that at 2.5

I'm using a hardwired ethernet connected Mac, OS 10.14, with a Steinberg UR22, and when joining a session with another musician who invited me, we both receive an error message that streaming audio may not be reaching others and to try to reboot the router or optimize my network. Is there a legitimate reason for this and what is the solution? Do I really need to reboot the router? How do I optimize my network?  

When joined into a session, my signal is greyed out.

Any help is appreciated.

Is there a best audio interface for Jamkazam? I have a Focurite 2-outlet one that I just bought but I am having latency issues with some users despite getting my own numbers in the green range consistently. I wonder if I would do better with a different product.

I am new to the concept of port forwarding.  

I grasp the concept of port forwarding as a set of ports dedicated to Jam Kazam and configuring these within my router, there are a few videos on youtube on how to do this.

My question is does port forwarding improve the overall latency and response?  Does port forwarding cut any millseconds off  travel time, and also --does it reduce any jitter?

Right now I am not using port forwarding -- I'll try anything to cut more milliseconds off.

I am in the city of Denver.  Hopefully we can unlock the local latency key for our local players.  Any advice at all to optimize travel / network time is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

GREETINGS JAM KAZAM-

I am slowly building a community of very talented people in Denver Colorado who use Jam Kazam.   We are refining and optimizing our set ups and are getting very very close to having true real time experiences on a more consistent basis.

 At this stage we are all in town and getting to the 25ms mark on average.  Some users hit below 20-17ms, Its ever so close!  But playing with a remote drummer continues to be challenging.  we all hit the yellow indicator mostly with flickering green...

 The bottom line is that we know we are so very close geographically and we need that extra push to get our local connections optimized and as fast as possible.  i have three questions if you have time...

 1)  is the new audio relay system close to deployment? 
2)   Can a group of Denver musicians help test ?
3)  how much more latency reduction might we get with the new deployment if we are hitting 20-25ms?

thank you for your time

Which is better, a USB connection or coming out of the line out (from your source) with an 1/8" plug for your connection to the interface? Is the USB faster?
