  Does Variance make a difference as well as Latency?
Posted by: jimship - 05-25-2020, 12:56 PM - Forum: Help with Audio Gear - No Replies

I have two Audio Interfaces: Steinberg UR22C and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen.

In the JamKazam audio setup test:

- Steinberg has 8.84 ms latency with 0.15 variance

- Focusrite has 7.58 ms latency with 0.28 variance

How important is the difference in Variance levels? Will one or the other device function better overall in JamKazam? Or is the lowest latency the only factor that needs to be considered in which device to use (Focusrite wins the latency test)?

Thanks!  - jim


  Audio live broadcast through Skype/Zoom
Posted by: richardhughes59@hotmail.com - 05-25-2020, 09:48 AM - Forum: Help with Audio Gear - No Replies

I want to host a Zoom/Skype call - and be able to share our JamKazan session live (not recordings)  in the conference. Audio only, no video - is this possible?


  Route software backing tracks into JK?
Posted by: Filote - 05-25-2020, 04:03 AM - Forum: Help with Audio Gear - Replies (4)

Hi, New to JK as of today. Searched forum, but nothing answers this question:

I know backing tracks can be added from files into JK as tracks in a session; but I'm looking for a more direct approach. I'd like to have multiple audio sources into JK:

e.g., Take the signal out of backing tracks apps like "Band in a Box" (BIAB) or iReal Pro, and send that as an input track to JK
...as well as take the incoming piano and vocal mic from the audio interface as input tracks into the same JK session. 


Maybe Loopback by Rogue Amoeba or something similar might be able to do that? Maybe one way to do it would be make a virtual audio device:

inputs: signals from BIAB as well as the hardware audio interface. 
outputs: the output of the virtual audio device would be sent to JK.


Any thoughts?

Thanks,


  Distortion Problem
Posted by: Alan Murphy - 05-24-2020, 10:45 PM - Forum: Help with Live Jamming Sessions - Replies (9)

Hi,

The distortion problem we have is as follows:

My friend has keyboard and I have guitar - only us in a session which I have started

Both of us are using headphones

I can hear myself and my friend - no distortion 

He can hear me - no distortion, but hears himself with distortion 

It seems like a level problem, but where is the problem ?

No visible sign of clipping into the red

My thoughts are - My signal is going to the server, as is his signal

I get both back which is all ok

He gets both back as well but his keyboard is distorted - How can this be when the server had his undistorted signal to send to me ?

He normally listens to youtube through his headphones and has no problem, so his output amp and headphones are probably ok

Any ideas,

Many thanks,
Alan..


  Latency Changes when I Join Session
Posted by: appleman2900 - 05-24-2020, 09:17 PM - Forum: Help with Audio Gear - No Replies

So I'm running asio both in and out using my mackie pro fxv2. I get about 3ms latency with .2 jitter or so. But when I join a session my latency changes to 15ms and my jitter ranges from 0-.5. Any suggestions?


  PC performance and Jamkazam
Posted by: Gio Bell - 05-24-2020, 07:16 PM - Forum: Help with Windows Client Problems - Replies (3)

Hello everyone . I write this post because I need advice. I have an iMAC and a notebook with WIN10. The iMAC has a 2.5GHz i5 processor and is certainly more powerful than the notebook that has an Intel Celeron 1005M 1.9GHz processor. I decided to use the notebook because my Behringer USB interface has a lower latency if used with WIN rather than with MAC. But it happens that sometimes there are significant slowdowns in entering and exiting sessions and sometimes the program crashes and I can no longer update the list of sessions or enter the session. Once in the session there are no problems. With the MAC the problems I have exposed before do not occur. Everything is very fast and the refresh never stops.  My internet connection is good because I have the optical fiber with 900Mb download and 100 Mb upload. So I wonder if replacing the notebook with another more powerful I could solve the problem. How much do you think PC performance on Jamkazam functions can affect? Thanks.


  Unacceptable Latency solutions please
Posted by: LindsayMorris - 05-24-2020, 03:03 PM - Forum: Help with Live Jamming Sessions - Replies (9)

I had high hopes for Jamkazam, but have hit failures so far.

Manage, Audio Settings, Easy Audio Setup says that my friend Melanie and I both look good for internal gear latency 
Session Diagnostics and Stats (in the Session page, the green dot) all look good, for both of us.
We both have high speed internet, using direct-connect not wifi. 
We're in the same city.

I start a Friends-only session; I see her name, hover over it, and it says "Your latency to Melanie is: UNACCEPTABLE"  
It doesn't say why.  Google searches haven't helped. So I throw myself on your mercy.

  • I tried Manage, Networking, Test network - I either get an immediate  "No network test servers are available" (forums say they often are down), or I get a bit farther, then get a "disconnected" message. 
    But if they were up, what might they have said? And what might I do based on that? Tweak some port settings on my router? 
  • Can we connect and try playing together even if it says "unacceptable"? Maybe we gave up too soon.
  • Any other advice?
Thanks!


  YouTube Live start broadcast button
Posted by: cwzois@gmail.com - 05-24-2020, 02:20 PM - Forum: Help with Live Jamming Sessions - Replies (1)

Our band has been streaming on YouTube Live with very little issues, and this last update seems to have broken something. When we now go through the steps to stream, the only option we have to hit is "start broadcast" which does not work. Previously, we had a just a "start" button in the lower left which would work. It is now gone and nothing we tried could get the stream to start. I have included a pic of what the previous screen looked like. I've also attached a pic of the steps we take to get to that screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  Jamkazam crash when selecting any usb webcam in a session, everytime
Posted by: B3JoeD - 05-24-2020, 09:50 AM - Forum: Help with Windows Client Problems - No Replies

Jamkazam 1.0.3729 (Surface Pro 3 pc, win 10) is crashng whenever a USB cam is called up/used in a session.

When I go to 'video gear' outside a session it tests fine, shows and looks good. But in a session when I call it up it immediately crashes Jamkazam every time.
Forcing me to only use the built in webcam.

Never had this issue before, suspect something is broken in JK.
Again, the crash ONLY happens when I call up video webcam WHILE IN a JK session.  Immediate crash upon opening it.

Webcam works great in all other apps (skype, OBS, Hangouts, etc etc). Worked before in JK prev version.

Any info would be great (need usb webcam video).
