Hope this helps,

Does anyone have experience of setting up electronic drums with Jamkazam. If so could you advise please on any optimum settings you have found in manage/audio settings and should the interface be set to line or instrument. I have an old Alesis DM8 connected via left line out to a Behringer UMC 202HD then laptop. The other Behringer input I use for a microphone for chat between songs.

An instruction video I saw said that guitar and bass should be set to instrument and all other electronic devices such as keyboard set to line? Not sure if this includes edrums. 

Your advice much appreciated.

If your running the JK client under Windows, be sure you've tuned your PC to be able to properly handle it real-time audio. You'll find references here in the forum about the use of Latencymon and OS settings changes.

Thank you StuartR
