jam hub...

Sign in to disble this ad
I was thinking about buying a Jam Hub for band practice. I was wondering if anyone has ever used one and if they liked it. I will probably get the bedroom model. I will be using Bass, Electric Drums, Guitar and vocals. Thanks.

They look good to me but you can probably achieve the same effect far cheaper with a mixing desk and a headphone amplifier. You also can double up the use of the mixer for live. We do rehearsals in cans and it works well-no volume wars, everthing's a clear as you want it, and if someone wants to blast their head off with noise then the choice is theirs.

The JamHub is cool in that everyone can create their own mix. I put my bass and mic up front of everything else on my channel. If someone else wants to blast or reduce something, they can do as they please. So it's a little more than just a small mixer and headphone amp. There's also a small variety of effects and a wet/dry mix for the mics. They're not amazing or anything - and you can't combine or customize them - but it's nice to not sing into a dry mic.

I'm don't think this is true. With the jam hub you can create separate mixes for each of the musicians plugged in. with a mixer you would need a several aux channels to do this and I don't think you can get a cheap mixer with 4 aux channels, which the smllaest Jam hub has for 300 bucks.
Plus you get the headphone amp in the jam hub package

That being said I quote myself:

It's a very nice piece of hardware. The fact that it allows you to create a monitor mix for each of the musicians it's very good. However using one increases the expenses a lot. To be able to exploit its potential you would need to buy an e-Drum kit and good headphones for each of the musicians.

IME, it takes out the fun of rehearsing asyou don't feel the pounding of theampand an acoustic drumkit. I didn't like the experience of using one at all.

Not really. With the hub you get individual mixes.
