I have been using a Zoom UAC 8 interface since late 2016, which I obtained for home recording and to be able to do multiple discretely recordable tracks at one time. My issue is latency, and the UAC8 does not appear on any of the three lists of what works well, not so well, or not at all. The UAC 8 does not have a monitoring switch or potentiometer, but I can, without discernible latency use it to record programmed drum sounds from software (Hydrogen freeware), by "looping" that program's output into the Zoom's input. I have tried the JKZ set up both with and without looping, but can't seem to get the latency lower than just under 25 ms, which is unacceptable for JKZ. I'm also a little confused about varying and correctly matching the UAC 8 sample rate (I don't see how to control from the interface program on my computer, but it is alterable, within JKZ. Any guesses about whether there is some way to get the Zoom UAC latency low enough to work with JKZ for ensemble sessions, or am I more likely to need a lower latency interface?
you should get really low latency if you use 96KHz sample rate, 16 samples, and go through USB 3.0. There is free software to configure these externally, I think, called MixEfx, or you can do it in the JamKazam ASIO config window. The rest is mostly your internet speed, especially upload time.
