    I have a Scraltt 4i4 Audio interface and although I can manage to hear via my Scralett headphone output jack both my microphone while listning to any midi/mp3 files playing from my PC,, but in Jamulus it seems only able to receive input from my microphone . We are group of 4 singers and would like to exercise with music from an MP3 or midi file . Any advice on how to achieve is appreciated.

      Hi M - What operating system are you using, it is Windows?

      Hoi Maarten,

      Ik heb je een persoonlijk bericht gestuurd/I sent you a personal message.

    When you say "but in Jamulus it seems only able to receive input from my microphone" I take it you mean that other players can hear your mic (and you can hear yourself) when you connect to a server, but both you and they can't hear the output from your mp3 player?

    If you close Jamulus, start up Windows Sound Recorder (or other recording app like Audacity) can it record both signals OK?

    Hi M,
    Jamulus is not a mixer. You need to user either an external mixer or a program such as VoiceMeeter to do the mixing before the signal is sent to Jamulus.
    Another possibility would be to input the signal from your MP3 player to one of the inputs on your Scarlet. If I am not mistaken they can be set to line in levels.
    I have never done this mixing myself, but it has come up often here on the forum.

      Agreed, although it is possible for Jamulus to take two inputs (in "Mono In/Stereo Out" mode if your computer supports that), it is usually easier to set up your mix outside Jamlus and use Jamulus in Stereo or Mono mode to receive that signal.

    Luuk; your suggestion to work with a seperate MP3 player and connect it's output to my Scarlet 4i4 (input line 3-4) worked out fine. Thx.
