I'm looking at hosting a private jamulus server on my mac at home. I'm just wondering if when clients connect, does their audio go via the server, or peer to peer directly between them, achieving the lowest latency?
Jamulus has a great interface, but looking for the quickest solution in regards to latency.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There have been many discussions about this in the past, please do a search on the forum.
The gist has been that there are other factors in play like synchronisation, not just the absolute latency figures, that make Jamulus' solution the most practical for musicians to adjust their playing to to get a good result.
The other problem is that the network bandwidth each client needs for peer to peer increases dramatically with the number of participants, see the thread Volker referenced.
But as peer to peer solutions exist you can try them out.
If you do it would be interesting if you would post your experiences here so we can learn from them too.
