Great video! Have you considered doing one that covers Mac-specific latency issues with JamKazam? (Everyone: "Like" this comment if it's important to you as well, and Reggaddiction can weigh doing one.)
Thank you SO much for making this tutorial; it's exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait to try it out with my other band members and hopefully this will help us breakthrough the latency barriers we've been facing. Thank you again!
Thank You for posting an extremely helpful video. Been fighting with some issues and your video really helped me solve some problems. I rate it 5 Stars!!!
Excellent helpful video tutorial...like finding a guide when lost in the woods...I'm a newby and still getting my system set up and trying to avoid buying a new computer to run JamKazam... Just beginning the long slog up the learning curve. Thanks from a new subscriber.
I really appreciate the effort that went into making this, but I want to point out that the latency at the beginning of the process was only 6.0 (which I don't think is bad). But by the end of the process the latency went up to 8.1 ms (still green, but not really an improvement). I made the same choices as those displayed but my initial latency was 20 ms and it improved to 8.7 ms.
You can't only look at the Latency numbers. The Frame Size, Gear Driver and Jitter also contribute to having a great experience on Jamkazam. If the Latency is green and everything else is yellow or red you will find the sync experience while playing with other people isn't that great. So yes my Latency went from 6.0 to 8.1ms but I managed to improve the Gear Driver and Frame Size and Jitter.
A qualitative improvement can be made by backing off some of the quantitatively-achievable parameter settings. For example I can set the Frame Size to 1ms but the tone spectrum on my E-drums and system stability I get from leaving it at 2.0ms, is worth it.
Excellent detailed video, with real time screen captures. Having my first jam session coming up, I really thank you . This will give me a real heads up to help troubleshoot the session. Great job!!
Great tutorial! I was on the brink of heading out to GC to buy a decent interface. As it turns out, the Positive Grid Spark amp interface works great once you ditch the WDM driver and install the device interface driver as you recommended. The entire video was very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for your video. I'll give your suggestions a try and also send my band mates your vid information. Maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to play in sync and live for the first time in months
Great video. I've found that sometimes going all the way down to 1 in the audio buffer ASIO screen can cause problems. Sweet spot might be just a bit higher than one.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Got my latency down from over 20 to about 10ms. Hoping to improve more with a few extra tweaks, but for my use right now, it's good enough. The ASIO settings were what was killing me before.
@@Reggaddiction The frame size was at 10ms and I brought it down to 2.5ms. I think I lowered the bit rate as well. I'll have to check with a colleague to make sure the quality is still good enough.
Thank you so much! I have an older interface that was showing latency around 30ms. Got it down to 6.5 using the 1ms experimental frame size. Crossing my fingers when I test it out with the band tomorrow!
Great video! Would it matter how long your Ethernet cord is (ie is there a latency difference between using a 10’ cord vs a 100’ cord?)? I wouldn’t think so but am curious if you or anyone else has some feedback.
Im not sure but I use a 50"ft cord with no issues. My modem is in another section of my house so I just connect to the modem when I'm on Jamkazam and let the long cord run through my house.
HI there and thanks for all this great info. I see you are playing electronic drums through Jamkazam as am I. I did all the steps you mentioned but my set up is not using a audio interface. I just went from drum module to computer with usb cable. I adjusted frame rate to 2.5 and 5 but there is quite a bit of degradation especially with the low end sounds. Would you suggest I need an audio interface? I do see my drums on the list of audio inputs but the frame rate seems to be the only thing that I cannot get out of the red without major sound degradation as you mentioned. Any comments to this would be greatly appreciated!
@@Reggaddiction I got all green except for audio interface, which won't fall below 10.5 at 192bit. As I said in the other video, it won't work at 128 or 64. To be perfectly honest, I am very satisfied with the performance of the software, especially after following your helpful videos.
How do you Change power management to high or ultimate performance on a mac? I don't see an option like this in Energy Saving or any icon in systems preferences. Thanks!
I am also using an Octa-Capture. Can you tell me how you mixed it down to 2 channels? I am using 8 channels and I am wondering if that is also increasing the latency.
Hi, thank you so much for this video, it solves almost all my issues, but I can't fix the Gear Driver WDM issue. I am using a Steinberg UR12 interface, I update the drivers, and still the problem. If you can help me, that will be great! Thank you
Are you using a PC? If so can you get your interface working with a DAW and get it recording something using your ASIO driver? Do that so you know that the ASIO driver is installed right. Then once you do that try JamKazan again and getting the ASIO working there. If you need a DAW (recording software), i recommend this free one Reaper. www.reaper.fm/
@@Reggaddiction as you can see, that is a pretty big set with mics all around it. Ti finally get to sounding like a real drum set on line was absolutely amazing. Lot's of compliments online about the sound. Thanks again, we really need to know! My latency all around, is a fat ZERO!
@@gothic8 wow that's amazing would love to get online with you and hear it. Add me as a friend, Oz Saunds on JamKazam or shoot me an email. Email is in description.
Can anyone answer a question for a beginner? I have two kids who go to school or rock. We need to get them both on to jamkazam at the same time for band practice but have only one router (and therefore obviously one direct ethernet cable connecting to it). How can this be accomplished and they still have separate accts? Or do I just have to get a USB audio interface w multiple inputs and they have to only use one account? Seems like then only one will have headphones...?? Any equipment recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
@@Reggaddiction each plays electric guitar or bass and mic for vocals. they r at same location. is the answer just get a usb audio interface that has multiple plug ins and they have be on one jamkazam acct only then? Our router can only have one ethernet cable input I don't know if that's universal or not. Thanks for the help
@@garyschmidt5284 yep you got it. One Jamakazam account and connect a speaker to the phone out or monitor out jack of the interface. If you want them to also have vocals that might be a problem if they dont have headphone because the speakers may create a feedback loop. Also if you want vocals you will now need more than two inputs.I believe JamKazam maxs out at two input so you'll have to use a mixer first to create a sub mix of the two instruments than send both instruments using one submix out to the interface and do the same with the two vocals.
Yes but alot of it can also be applied to a Mac. For example: Turn off you WiFi, Plug in you computer, change Bit rate size and buffer settings, Resync.
@@Reggaddiction Thanks, actually all of my lights are green 95% of the time...except for the jitter in and out occasionally go yellow. I am using a Mac Pro with Fireface 400 interface ..all high quality stuff. I am not using any digital workstation software at this time ...all outboard processing stuff .....but I might use Logic 10 in the future. I wonder how that might affect current performance because it will be taking up processor power.
@@FretsNirvana i dont see why you would need to use a digital workstation with JamKazam. Your right, i think it would just slow your computer down. In fact close down all other apps running on your computer and also your virus protection is also eating up alot of processing power.
hmmm interested when you hover over your circle in your solo session, what stats do you see? Now hover over your session in a group session, what stats do you see?
@@schennum great so sounds like you found your session diagnostics. Now try opening your ASIO settings or interface panel and reduce the buffer setting as low as it can go and see if it fixes your ASIO configuration.

Use ethernet connection
Turn off wifi in settings

Configure your interface to use ASIO driver. Do this when you first configure JK, or delete interface from audio gear and start over.
Use as low an Audio Buffer in your interface driver as possible.
Resync

Hey Randy thanks for the insight. Also the type of interface your using most likely plays a factor with how low of a buffer setting you can use.
