Separately united jamming with Jamulus -- Talk at Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2021
Channel: texdak
Date: 2021-04-14

This video is the prepared part of my talk at the Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2021.  You can find it replete with slides and the following discussion on https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2021/en/programm/beitrag/120 .  But this part on Youtube will allow showing (autogenerated, somewhat accurate) subtitles and (autogenerated, somewhat inaccurate) translations.



Abstract:
Many musicians are dependent on playing with others.  Spatial separation in the era of the Internet should be less of a problem as in olden times; common conference software however introduces too large latencies.  The free software “Jamulus” (https://jamulus.io) allows to bridge distances in light speed, making it a nice alternative at least given typical European in-country distances and good connectivity.



The talk presents experiences while connecting an accordion orchestra separated through pandemic ordinances rather than living in different towns.  In some respect an optimal constellation, since single-person visits for setting up hard- and software were still feasible.  Jamulus is available for Linux, Windows, and MacOSX (actually, it became available for Android after the talk) and was employed on all three platforms for our work.
