If I understand correctly, would one way of doing this be to simply using an external mixer and have the output of that connected to the input of your audio interface? Yes, that would do the job. But please mind the level differences of the mic and the line-in, so it would have to be a pre-amp-able mixer. And I do not own such a thing. (And I guess a lot of people playing over the internet won't have such as well.) Therefore the basic approach of using gadgetry already present. (BTW probably best...

Hi @all, this question is presumably not a Jamulus specific one, but as it pops up just in this context, please allow it for me to pose: Normally, I am playing a synthesizer (by wind controller) and do some overdubbing with classical pieces, pulling the line-in signal from the synth directly into e.g. Audacity. (If you want to listen: https://soundcloud.com/petra-aachen/) In Jamulus I'd love to connect both the line-in and the mic-in to the input stream, but I'm completely at a loss how to do that...

Hi Gilgongo, I'm not sure if there would be any practical difference in having a built-in metronome for the jamulus server compared to simply putting a metrome signal on of the clients, since latency issues aren't exclusive to clients. But I guess it might be nice. Well, the idea is the following: The server can detect latencies of individual clients by clock comparisons of respectively transmitted packets, so it should be able to advise the individual clients to create metronome ticks (not audible...

Hello developers, I noticed a new Jamulus version (3.4.4. ir eveb 3.4.5) recently, so my "old" 3.4.3 one becomes outdated. I checked for a changelog but wasn't lucky so far, to decide if I should update myself if new fellow musicians should adopt the new version when freshly downloading. Is there one, and I just didn't find it? Cheers, Petra

I have tried feeding a click track along with my signal , which made it easier for two players to keep time (assuming no drummer). Same idea as a metronome I guess Yes, just another way of introducing it. But my additional suggestion, to integrate the "click" into the management software (Jamulus) itself, might make a real difference as the various instances of Jam can communicate and measure relative time differences etc. and derive some educated guesses about the best possible timing on the individual...

What kind of performance are they getting on other servers (if they choose ones with latency less thab about 20ms)? Try playing with them on a public server, and if they can get decent performance, then they should be OK with yours - at least in theory. We checked with other servers, but my self-setup server was best in the end (presumably because we are situated relatively near to each other, and the routing might have been optimized). I should add, perhaps, that we are mainly classic/baroque-oriented,...

Hi Gilgongo, The issues are probably more at the client end than the server I think. Are all participants runninng over wired connections with suitable sound cards/drivers? Both sides wired, my side (server + client) on Ubuntu 18.04 via the built-in soundcard of a Lenovo T470. Connection to localhost on my side will create almost unperceivable latency (thudding with pencil on desk and comparing its auditive response to the original thuds). 2nd side: Windows computer (I guess Win7 oder Win10) with...

Hi guys and gals, You do not need Jack if you run a headless server. Just make sure you use: qmake "CONFIG+=nosound" Jamulus.pro (see https://github.com/corrados/jamulus/wiki/Server---Linux). In that respect I am a bit confused presently: I made my Jamulus 3.4.3 by simple qmake and make from the sources, without obeying the server specific call. I run the server just by "./Jamulus -s -n" as ordinary user, expecting my machine to be definitely faster than the DSL line it has to manage. On the same...
