jacktrip.com needs to be setup in the domain name settings, so if someone hits it it then see;s it like a wild card and routes to the https instead of trying to go to http
what is happening? please give more detail on this?
Synth been on sonobus all night but started a room ther. Does it need credit card sign up for 1 month free?
?
sorry - only been on sonobus once and not familiar with their policies. you might want to ask them.
do you mean JackTrip - I see your studio there with the Join button. I’m confused or are you? Did you download the jacktrip app to your computer?
I’m trying to get on your studio right now but it just says “Loading”. Oops I had to log into the website as well as the app I guess.
Anyway I’m glad we got on together but your studio timed out before we could do anything or chat. You’re on Sonobus at the same time then or that was a misfire?
Session ended, not sure why it wasn’t routing right, was setup ok

I’ll join after you restart. Did you see that you can self-host and get the Lite Features for free without a paid account?
Could you hear me? I could hear you just barely
I could see ya audio but got sonobus up too, gonna sort it now think the 7 mins is over.
no you just have to watch the time - they are the for-profit entity of JackTrip - and they work very hard so can’t blame them for trying to be profitable.
That was so awesome to play a bit with you and those guys on the other app! You are as wicked cool as ever. Tell me more about those other guys. Could you and I do some testing so that I can get a feel for setting levels good for the group and I can hear myself? I can work with your schedule so just let me know if and when you want to do it. I’m psyched about playing with you again matey! 
Sorry been busy Synth, I will be about Friday sometime. I will try get out earlier on Friday and get it routed a bit better.
The peeps was some guys playing in sonobus I routed through but didn’t have it setup to route ya back, but I’ll get that sorted for the future.
With ninjam latency wasn’t an issue so routing was simpler, with the need for low latency I’ll get it routed so there’s less than a ms from software to software here.
I run all my mics and soft synths fx’s etc through cubase and cos of the processing needed that likes to be at abot 256 buffers, I could go low but with other stuff running on the same audio device
I could get clicks and pops. So I will run Cubase through another device and push that device to another with great routing which I can put at 32 buffers or so.
Just with audio from dif apps routing to and from that works fine, it’s only when I have fx’s and soft synths which can push the audio device too hard on low buffers.

me too mate! this week has been pretty amazing with a big presentation and giving JackTrip Training to a Swedish NPO - I’m still flying - hovering now and looking forward to our next jam.
I’m around today, Friday and through the weekend so just let me know when you’re on. I can show you some techniques for clearing up the clicks and pops = the sound of dropped packets. But let’s do a Zoom cuz it’s too much to s’plain during a jam.
Connecting with you again is making me fly even higher! weeeeeeeeee!
@AMP Just to clarify: everyone gets completely unlimited time and sessions for the first 4 weeks. After that sessions are limited to 50 minutes. You can restart as many sessions as you like on the free plan, but we limit it to 1 per hour, so you have to wait a little bit in between.
We do fully support public sessions where anyone can join without an invite link, and they are prominently advertised on our home page. We just don’t have many people doing this – seems most people already have a group and prefer to keep it private.
It used to be that you would only see this option when creating a studio if you said that you were looking for other musicians to play with. I recently changed the forms for creating new studios so that the flag to enable public studio sessions is now prominently displayed on its own to everyone. It could be that was keeping people from using it – we’ll see if this helps at all.
As @Synthia said, those who are technically inclined can also manage your own JackTrip studio server (similar to Jamulus), and that is free with no limits on the number or length or sessions. JackTrip is open source, after all. I think you could even do this (for smaller groups) using a Raspberry Pi 5 with fairly little effort – been meaning to write up a guide on this for some time.. But not sure how many people would really be interested in that – the cost of our service is so low now that it’s hardly worth the effort.
It would be awesome if all of this was completely free, but running this service does have expenses, and we are FAR away from even breaking even, let alone being profitable. All of this has largely been a donation of blood, sweat, tears and money to make it a reality.

Totally get it dude, the costs and stuff to run host them isn’t cheap and the time it takes to code and setup of the infrastructure is costly too.
Everybody needs to eat and pay Bills.
Was more thinking the carrot on the stick for newcomers, but most like you say are probs already groups looking for the tech to use.
For me it’s more about the Jam with other people, and Synth did say something bout free time but didn’t realise it was unlimited for 1 month.
We did a little test and finished and I was thinking it was because of the 50 min limit.
I’ve probs wasted my free month now. 
I’d have left a server up running.
Also I’m sure I could run a server but a lot of it looked linux based and or using a docker. I have dockers setup on one machine but not yet had
time to look into dockers but from what I’ve seen so far they are a more convenient way of running VM’s in windows, that right?
Also Miked didn’t we used to Jam on ninjam once?
PS: You looked to get a sponsor? You could have a banner on a splash on load or in the software. Maybe a leading worldwide music store
could be interested.

You can run containers (using Docker, podman, etc) on any machine, but they work best on Linux because it’s their native environment. They have similarities to VMs but without any of the overhead, which is critical for real-time systems like JackTrip. I think one of their biggest strengths is combining multiple components into a very reliable and consistent package.
I haven’t used ninjam before other than poking around, so it must have been another Miked (
to the Beastie Boy who shares my letters).
As for sponsorship (or parters in general), believe me – we are trying! This niche just isn’t top of mind (yet?) for the big names to invest.
