Members metronumb Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Probably late to the party but are there on-line jam rooms for guitar players to jam with others? Has to be but a Google search didn't bring up what I am looking for. The technology is already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pope on a Rope Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Latency makes it difficult for real time internet jamming. If you've ever done any online gaming especially playing first person shooters you'd have a good idea as to why it wouldn't work so well. You would need some serious networking equipment between you and your jam mates. Even if you all had the fastest broadband connections the latency would not make it worthwhile. The further away you are the longer it will take your signal to reach another jammer. Even if you were on a high speed local network there's still going to be a couple of milliseconds delay. There would always be someone lagging behind. 2 or 3 milliseconds lag is quite noticeable to me. The more people you had on it the worse it would be. It would be like jamming with people who had no sense of timing. It would be a constant train wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alexbiscuit Posted June 5, 2010 Members Share Posted June 5, 2010 i get 20ms ping on online games (which is GOOOOD), which you need to double for sending, AND receiving data. so 40ms ping, while still very very small, would totally throw off everything.

That's certainly not bad for gaming. That level of latency would be horrendous for jamming though. Set up a delay with no repeat, 100% wet and set the delay about 10-20ms. Then try to jam to a backing track. Try jamming with a friend in the same room using different levels of delay and try to keep time with a backing track or a drummer. That should give you a good approximation. It could be fairly amusing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 ejamming.com I used it when it was a beta, then it went pay.. Was fun, but not good enough to pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 Same here. I was a beta tester for ejamming. Cool concept and it worked, but I just didnt use it. WAY to busy playing music with real people in the flesh to keep messing with it. It works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
