    The Jamulus documentation says that the server makes a mix (addition?) of the voices from each musician., the mix is sent to each musician.
    How can the mix (made by the server) may take into account the individual settings of faders of each musician ?
    How the server can take into account the different ping + process time different for each musician: Let us suppose a beat (like a metronome click) is transmitted by the server, each musician receives it , each one after some particular delay, he plays a note on it, and send it to the server with process and transmit time.
    How iis made the correction (if any)? Does it mean that the overall delay depends on the worst ?What takes time ? DAC ? build of UDP ? Within the server ? the clients ?
    Thank you for any help to understand Jamulus

      there is no correction. The only correction that happens is in your head when your brain slowly adapts to the latency and make you play earlier relative the beat.
      Jamulus works exactly as if you is standing far from each other. Since the body already can cope with that it works!
      I wonder if Volker knew this or it just was a touch of luck.

      Hi Yves,
      To answer your other questions;
      - The server makes an individual mix for each client, it knows the settings of your faders.
      - As Mats said there is no compensation, see below.
      - The processing time in the client and server is small and is covered up by the buffering. The big differences come from the communications quality and time. Poor quality means added buffering, the communications time adds... well time.

      Note that this is all not as bad as it may sound. As sound has a transmission time in air of about 3milliseconds/meter even playing in small groups we are always dealing with compensating delays of 10 to 20 milliseconds in a live performance. Our minds are used to doing this. In a big orchestra on a big stage, for example, the delays between performers at the outer edges of the orchestra can be consequential, 15 meters would mean 45ms.

      Using Jamulus I have found that delays below 60ms are workable, delays below 30ms not noticeable at all after a short time playing. What is very important is that you listen to the sound coming back from the server and not what you are sending to the server, i.e. NOT direct monitoring.
      In a live performance we use visual clues to help compensate and play together. With Jamulus you don't have those visual clues so it takes a little longer, but after a while you compensate automatically and don't notice it at all.

    Anyone els that cannot open the disk image file (.dmg) on a Mac? Can't install the new version.

    Solved! The dots in the version number make that the Mac does not see the file extension as ".dmg". Perhaps change the file name on Soundforge?
