Welcome to our virtual jam session!
Jam in peace uses the NINJAM protocol.
NINJAM/Jamtaba is a collaborative musical jamming protocol that allows musicians to play music together over the internet. It was developed to address the issue of latency, which is the delay between when a musician plays a note and when it is heard by others.
You can join us too without spending any money.
The software we use is free! 

Here’s a breakdown of the NINJAM/Jamtaba process:

Synchronization:
Each musician’s audio stream is synchronized to a common tempo and “interval” a.k.a BPI. This means that each musician is playing along with the same musical framework, ensuring that everyone is playing in sync.

Latency Compensation:
To compensate for latency, NINJAM delays the audio stream by one musical measure (e.g., 4 bar's of music) a.k.a 16 BPI. 
This allows each musician to play their part, and then the audio is delayed and sent to the other musicians.

Client-Server Architecture:
NINJAM uses a client-server architecture, where each musician runs a client application that connects to a central server. The server manages connections, chat, and data streaming.

Audio Streaming:
Each musician’s audio stream is sent to the server, which then distributes the audio to all other connected musicians. 
The audio is delayed by one musical measure to ensure synchronization.

Clocking: Each client’s audio stream is synchronized against a distributed clock. This clocking is used to distribute the audio out to all other clients, ensuring that everyone plays in sync.

Additional Tools:
We also use Vdoninja for online video  and OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) for streaming our sessions live.

Real-Time Music Making:
And when we're feeling spontaneous, we love making music in real-time with Sonobus!
Note: A standard Ethernet cable is necessary for connectivity. For optimal performance and speed, we recommend using a fiber-optic internet connection when using Sonobus.
