			<description><![CDATA[Seems there have been zero updates to the Jamkazam application since July 13, 2021, more than a year ago. There are still many things that don't work at all (broadcasting), don't work well (video streams), and the promised major updates to the streaming efficiencies that was supposed to happen when this switched to a paid subscription service. There are also still a lot of issues with drop-out and stability in a session periodically and certain people not able to hear each other randomly. <br />
<br />
Is this platform bow dead in terms of development? I'm still paying a subscription so I hope not, because that was the whole idea of the subscription switch - i.e. to finance actually further active DEVELOPMENT of this platform. Can someone from Jamkazam give us an update on where this platform stands at the moment, developmentally?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have used JamKazam successfully for years with my friend Pete. I have a decade old Mac and he has a new one. Our other friend, David, with an old PC has difficulties. <br />
<br />
Today we both tried to Jam. We could see each other on the screen. I could hear myself, but not him. He could not hear me and was not sure if he heard himself. When I looked at our individual sessions, I could see level lights for me, but not for him. We are both using Artesia a22xt.<br />
<br />
At another session with the 3 of us, We could all see each other. I could hear Pete and David. David and Pete could hear me. David could hear Pete, but Pete could not hear David.<br />
We tried rebooting without improvement.<br />
<br />
Any advice?]]></description>

They could hear me perfectly. <br />
About a year ago when we did it the last time there was No such problem. <br />
<br />
I am using a Behringer UMC 1820. <br />
Driver is installed and configured. <br />
DIM is deactivated. <br />

Any ideas anyone?<br />

Thanks a lot. <br />

<br />
I am a new user to JK, and tried to connect with a friend to try out this platform. my friend was able to hear his bass and my guitar very clearly on his end. however, i was only able to hear my guitar, and not his bass on my end. we live about 10 miles away from each other, so distance shouldn't be an issue. i had his bass turned up all the way in my mix, but it wasn't coming through. also, his indicator lights on my dashboard were showing signal activity. anyone experience this? hopefully it's a small oversight on my part.<br />
<br />
thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Without any evidence of updates in the JK system, it seems like the portal's mixer functions have gone nuts. Used to be, the "audio inputs" mostly functioned like typical pre-fader signals in a normal mixer and the "personal mix" section mostly worked like an aux send used for headphone or monitor mixes. Now, I don't know what is going on with the mixers, especially when we use a drum track played through the "Open/audio file" input path. <br />
<br />
For starters, figuring out who has "control" of the "audio file" volume is tricky-to-impossible. Whoever opens the file has primary control of the" audio file" volume, but when anyone else in the session messes with the "audio file" the volume changes radically and painfully for everyone but the person who loaded the file into JK. Once that starts happening, everyone is grabbing for the "audio file" volume and it is a clusterf**k from then on. It has become so unusable that at least one member of our group is at the point where he doesn't feel his Gold member&#36;p is worth the money and if he leaves we'll probably all give up the on-line band idea. I might be the only one of the 5 of us who bothers with continuing a paid member&#36;p since I'm the only one who ever attempts to use JK for random jamming.]]></description>

<br />
My group has been using JamKazam for sessions now for well over a year. Recently the drummer drops out so the bass player can no longer hear him. The others in the session can hear both the bass and drums but the bass player cannot hear the drummer. What is causing someone to lose one of the players in a session and how can we prevent this from happening in the future? We all have ample internet speeds that have been working up until now. Comments?<br />

Thanks,<br />

<br />
With the latest upgrade:<br />
<br />
Good: The crackling in my own mix (previously reported) had gone (no changes in my hardware or settings from previous session so I conclude that is to do with the upgrade)<br />
<br />
Bad: My personal mix volume was very high even though the slider was at zero. (to repeat, all the settings at the start were exactly as they had been from the previous session). <br />
<br />
I couldn't turn my jamming partner up to hear them without risking damage to my hearing therefore please treat this as a matter of urgency since hearing damage is a health and safety issue.<br />
