Just out of interest, how well does it work with more than two ends? I have so far only done duets... What kind of latency do you get? We have 20-30ms, which works well, but I don't think it would work with much more.

My band has done 4 people so far. Total latencies are from 19ms through high 20ms. Occasional pop into low 30s and rare pop to 40ms. Interesting to note is that two of us are on FiOS and have the 19 to 20ms, but the other two, one on RCN and the other on Comcast, both run in the mid to high 20ms. I once had a duo early in testing with another person who is on FiOS down the block from me and had 14ms.

But remember, the latency of your tech setup (digital audio box, software, system, etc) is part of the total, as is the "Audio Framesize" in the Manage->Audio Settings->Audio Framsize/Booster+ window. My band all run at Audio Framesize of 1ms. I have tested with two boxes on my MacBook Pro 2019: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and MOTU M2. Both are around 7ms. Both use the macOS Core Audio builtin audio system.

But i just opened JK to check if an update before jamming with my band tonight, and there was and i updated. Then opened a private session and i got a message "Your audio setup is not configured for best latency and experience. A consultation with JamKazam could help. Do you want to see the configuration report?" Of course i did... and here is what it said:

Audio Configuration Review Report.

1. Average Audio Latency: Audio input/out latency is 7.27083 ms. Tuning or changing your audio device could reduce latency to less than 5 ms.
   
2. Excellent Audio Frame size: Your audio frame size is 1 ms.
   
3. Excellent Audio Driver: Core Audio
   
4. Poor Packet Rate: Your default packet rate is '200'. A packet rate of 400 will give lowest latency. 100 pkt/s has 7.5ms more latency than a packet rate of 400 pkt/s.
   
5. Excellent Input Sample Rate: Your audio input/output sample rate is 48000.
   

Every millisecond that is reduced gives improved network jitter tolerance or approximately 100 miles (160 km) further improvement in music play distance.

So i changed my packet rate to 400 and now all but #1 above is Excellent. Still have 7.2ms latency just in my tech setup.
