Skype / live jam? 2015-05-07 15:56:56


I know hardly anyone comes on the NG Audio Portal Skype Chat anymore..... but I kinda miss live jams. I wonder if we could perhaps get together and do summat about this?

It'd be nice to hear what other people are singing or playing or cowbelling or making animal sounds with.

Would love to have a live jam! :)

Oh gosh! We'd have to work out times and such (now would be too late to play; it's 10-something at night and exit polls are being counted at the mo'. I can still chat a little though).

I would really like to share, musically, with everyone. <3

Whom should we consult?

...What type of miscreant-like activities were you up to, eh? :)

Anyway, I'd be up for a chat or jam or whatever. As you've said though @Trois, a time would have to be arranged.

I never knew about this. How do I join the group? I'd like to chat with you guys about music.

If you guys were interested I found a cool bit of software for this kind of thing some time ago called Jammr. I've used it a little, but the community is quite small, pretty rare to see anyone else online in my timezone. It works well though and might deal with lag a bit better than Skype.

Never heard of any group of that kind on NG before. Feel free to PM me if you're making one again so I can join you guys!

This seems interesting. I could always talk shop. I'd like to be kept in the loop if this happens.


Streets ahead. If you have to ask, you're streets behind.

Doing a live jam via Skype is impractical, since it doesn't employ full duplex mode.

This means that Skype will automatically focus on only a single sound boradcaster at any given time, cutting everyone else out until that sound broadcaster has finished.

I've tried, and it doens't work.

@BrokenDeck I know Skype can be an ABSOLUTE PAIN when it comes to this -- a lot of people are interested, and I was wondering -- do you know anywhere we could go on the net to make such a thing happen?

PM me when this group gets something worked out
