The cymbals were not loud enough relative to the other elements of the kit. It's not an expensive rig and it only has two quarter inch outs. We'll work with it as we are able. Thank you both for your creative input on this problem.

You are correct in your first supposition: the audio output from the drumkit's "brain" to the stereo (or mono) input to the FocusRite wasn't right. I assume on your rig that you're feeding the mixing desks using quarter inch outs. Correct? May I ask what kind of mixing desk you are using? Something like a small PA mixing console?

Are you a drummer, Luuk? How do you connect your drums to Jamulus?

I read your message, Luuk. Please understand that we are analog musicians who suddenly need to learn a lot about equipment and technologies we've never needed before in 45 years of makng music. What I understand from your message below is that he will need to either 1) find a way to balance the quarter-inch outputs or, 2) if he goes the MIDI route, he will need to buy additional software to convert the MIDI input to computer back into audio information. Is that a fair encapsulation of what you're...

We are looking for a MIDI-USB converter. My drummer friend has an electronic drum set with a MIDI out and a quarter-inch out. We've tried using the quarter inch out into a FocusRite and then into Jamulus but had trouble balancing the levels. We want to see if it will be easier using the MIDI outs into some other interface and then into Jamulus. The Focusrite (Scarlett 2i2) does not have a MIDI in.

The drummer in my band is wondering what others are using to MIDI his electronic kit into his Mac (and hence into Jamulus). Thanks in advance for your help.

Mark this issue as resolved. Turns out it all comes down to using the FocusRite's soundcard versus the PC's internal soundcard. With the FocusRite, my overall delay is down to 21 ms now, even without connecting via "localhost" (trying to emulate what the experience of my bandmates will be).

1) Latency was up for my bandmates (60-100 ms, living in nearby towns) as well as for myself. 2) I've never successfully been able to connect using "localhost." Do you have to specify the port? 3) will try 127.0.0.1 next time along with the port. 4) We'll see how it goes when I get my FocusRite back from my bandmate.
