New eJamming v14 Beta released!

[OldBluesGuy]

If you're at all interested in jamming online head over too www.ejamming.com and download the latest beta of their near zero latency online jamming interface. It's still a little rough around the edges, but I'm being nitpicky. It's definitely worth a look. I've used it in the past to jam with friends that live in other states and it's worked pretty well considering. It will be a subscription service when they release this version out of beta and beta testers get a discounted price - approx $7.50/month or $59/year is what I've heard from their online support guys. They're are people on right now from all over the US, Canada, the UK, Germany and France. It's free for now so check it out!

I love this app. If you've not tried it out. Get in while the beta is still free. If you do you lock in discounts. See if you like it too.

I tried it on Saturday night (Moonman's Newbie session). I had some minor problems, but they were largely related to a screwy microphone input jack on the back of my computer ;otherwise, it worked quite well on my ancient dual P3 700. When I wanted to talk to the person I was jamming with, I had to run to the back of my computer and switch my bass and microphone jacks.

Here's a question: What are people out there using for mixing their instruments and microphones? I'm looking for a cheap solution.

Thanks in advance, John

We should think about a eJamming GTG for interested TB'ers. I think I'll start a club - what the heck.

As far my mixing rig goes, I'm using a Toneport UX2 -> Mackie mixer -> m-Audio sound card - that would be $129 + $199 + $99 for that solution and you can run your instrument and a mic separately and simultaneously through the the UX2 with independent patches for both.

For bare bones, eliminate the mixer and the soundcard and you can do either mic OR instrument through the UX2 via USB into the computer - the UX2 is an ASIO input/output device.

solution I use.

backwards from the software.

eJa > ASIO driver > M-audio Fast Track USB > XLR : Mic , 1/4 in jack to Keyboard > Aux 1: bass, Aux 2: ipod

so I can input Keys and all its features, Bass via aux1, and iPod all to the "guitar" port on the FastTrack, AND still have a clean XLR mic


m-audio fasttrack usb is usually < $100

I started a club if anybody's interested...

This is a much more general question, how does one join a group on this forum?

This is a cragslist ad for a M-Audio MobilePre 16-bit USB Sound Card.

Would this suffice?

Yes. While I'm not familiar with that particular product, that's the right kind of set up to get your guitar signal into your computer. To add modeling to this set up for cheap, check out the Waves GTR Solo modeler. They're giving that product away for a full year. You can find out more about that here. There are other similar software based modelers on the market as well.

I can't speak for every club here on TB, but usually you just need to prove that you qualify for membership. To join the Lefty Union I had to post a pic of my lefty basses. For the SX club I had to post pics of my SX bass - things like that. For the eJamming club you just need to post in the group thread that you'd like to be a member.
