| Does anyone have any good experience with online jamming apps?
My understanding is that online meeting apps like Zoom, etc. have latency issues but there are other apps, like Jammr, that claim to have solved this issue. I'm looking for something that would work for simultaneous jamming, not successively laying down tracks. |

Location: Colorado | Haven't used one yet that solves the latency...it is not the App or the phone or the computer...it is the variance in internet traffic bandwidth coupled with how things get packeted.

informative Info from Sweetwater on latency

From Jammer web site
How does jammr work?
jammr sends your audio to other users and receives their audio. In order to avoid lag, jammr is "live" but not "real-time". This means other players hear you after a fixed amount of time. This fixed amount is called the interval and can be set to fit the chord progression you are jamming to. This allows you to jam synchronised with people from all over the world. |

Location: When?? | Like Mark, I haven't used these services ether since I am personally much more into emailing "successive tracks" like Bob mentioned. Anyway, I am curious to know if it's possible to merely observe and listen to others during their live online jams. |

Location: Colorado | The buffering delay they employ makes sense - but yet - it'll not be great. Even in the simplest zoom or webex sessions, sometimes you see and hear the intermittent delays or hiccups that happen...all of which - when a band is playing together...will cause the playing to deteriorate in a hurry. |
