Problem I have that bass guitar can not be heard..my set up is as follows....
I am using Focusrite solo.I have mic in first input and bass guiter in the 2nd input.
I have gone through all of the set up process with Focusrite and I get a 'success' message.
But when I create a private session lets say,I can only hear the mic (my voice) but the bass guitar does not play.I have all the sliders well up,the focusrite is seeing the guitar as the knob lights up when plucking the strings..I have double checked everything in the set up steps and everytime I get 'success' but only mic and no guitar.I assume I must be doing something wrong but dont know what to try next.
I do hope someone can help.

Audio from the Scarlett isn’t registering in JK, I can see it in the sound section of the system settings and other apps such as Garageband and Logic but nothing in JK.

The Scarlett appears in JK and I am able to perform the full set up as per all the guides and audio from JK is audible via the monitoring from the Scarlett, I just can’t get audio into JK.

All software and operating systems are up to date and the Macbook is a Macbook Pro M1.

Thanks in advance.  ]]>

Fast-forward to yesterday, when I was forced to install the new update: 

First off, my audio settings were gone. Not a big deal, I went through the "add audio gear" screens.

When I started a private session to test it, I was getting all kinds of jitter - hovering over my 'dot' showed high jitter numbers and I heard a lot of crackling. Adjusting the frame size larger did nothing but add more latency. I doubled and triple checked all my driver settings, and even tried different buffer sizes, sample rates, etc. Same thing.

During one of my testing iterations I noticed something: when my session first started, in the first few moments where you can hear yourself but before your "input" and "output" mixes appear, all sounded fine. As soon as the UI filled in that information with the audio bar graphs the jitter went crazy. Then I noticed when I moved my mouse past any clickable element on the JK UI I also got a crackle. Ahh, something to do with the graphics maybe. I then minimized the app and my sound returned to normal. When I brought it to the forefront again, the issue returned.

I joined a session with some people I know and they verified that when my UI was active that my sound was garbled and my jitter was off the charts, but when I minimized the app then things were normal. They did notice that my CPU usage was high. Checking in Windows task manager I saw that my CPU was around 61%, almost all of that coming from the JK app.

Then a bell went off: years ago, the prevailing advice was to set the JK process priority to "High" in task manager. I checked and it was still set that way. Changing it to "Normal" lowered my CPU usage to around 40% (still all JK) but my jitter and sound problems went away.

So it appears that the JK UI update is very processor intensive and can weigh down an older machine (I have a Gen 3 Core i5, SSD, 8GB RAM, Windows 10). If you are having similar issues (I know of another Jammer with this jitter issue since update) then you might try the same thing: check your process priority and try a lower priority to see if it corrects your problems  (https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/how-...indows-10/). I doubt JK will look into this (JK's high CPU utilization) so we're on our own here. Maybe my resolution will help you find yours.

I hope this helps.]]>

"The board operator copied the main mix settings with me included into the individual headphone/monitor sub output settings.
Then muted my input from the main mix of the boards main output which is the input chosen in JamKazam to send to me.
Since I'm no longer in the the main mix sent to me through Jamkazam I no longer hear myself coming back in the mix. Delay/echo gone!"


We're going to try hooking up the same way tonight.

Only detail you didn't mention in the procedure was pulling the fader all the way down in the Personal Mix so only the remote guitar and vocal come through. In fairness you don't do it on your end. The guys at the studio end do that.]]>

I'm using a 2i2 and a Mac Mini. In Input 1 I have a dynamic mic; in Input 2 my bass (no patches). 

My buddy is using an identical 2i2 and a MacBook. In Input 1 he has a dynamic mic; in Input 2 his guitar (no patches).

We can join a session together and hear each other through our mics and see each other on video, but neither of us can hear the other's instrument. Switching off Direct Monitoring doesn't change anything. We switched the mic and guitar inputs but still no luck.

Do we need patches? Any other ideas?

Thank you!]]>

I am simply trying to send my bass signal I'm hearing in Studio One over to Jamkazam, with all of the effects (gate, compressor, EQ) in the DAW intact.

I have tried every I/O configuration in Studio One as well as in the Jamkazam settings, and have even tried to use a virtual mixer in between. I'm still hearing just the dry bass signal straight from my recording interface when I open a JK session - zero effects.

I'm beginning to think it's an impossibility and I'm becoming very discouraged. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!]]>

All members use headphones to hear the main mix. The Zoom is used as the interface to Jamkazam. 
It works well with one exception .... at my remote end I hear myself coming back with the main mix from the Zoom which of course causes an echo on just me heard by me at my end.
This of course makes perfect sense since I am part of the main mix at the board end.
What is needed I suppose is a sub mix minus me sent to me. The board operator says he sees only the individual inputs and the main mix out to choose from in the Jamkazam interface setup.
The Zoom L-20 has subs for monitors or headphones. Unfortunately these do not appear as a option during the set up.
Are we missing something? We're a bunch of oldies so could be.
Any help would be appreciated.

My question is - is it possible to have two inputs assigned to the chat. The audio configuration utility only allows a single source to be assigned to the chat. 

A bit of background .... My band has been using JK since the beginning of the pandemic. Recently, our bass player has joined our guitarist at his house. They've been using a usb room mic for the chat but it's not very good. The guitarist has upgraded his mixer to a Soundcraft 12FX which has 4 USB outputs to the computer. Outputs 3 and 4 are the overall mix (guitar, bass, etc). USB output 1 and 2 map to mixer input 1 and 2. We'd like to use those for two microphones. One for the guitarist's chat and the other for the bassist's chat. But we can only assign one output to the chat. We'd like to assign both. Is it possible? 

I know we could do this with a more sophisticated mixer. For example, we have a Soundcraft UI-24 where we could assign the two mics to an aux bus and then assign the corresponding USB channel for the aux bus to the JK chat. Unfortunately, we aren't in a position to use that for this situation. 

I expect this can't be done with our current configuration, but we thought we'd put it out there to our smart friends on this forum.
