This is cheap and easy, but your audio quality will suffer, and it will also process audio very slowly, creating problems with latency, or lag, in your sessions. Still, you can at least start experimenting with JamKazam in this way. -JamKazam Community Forum -And if you just want to chat, share tips and war stories, and hang out with fellow JamKazamers, you can visit our community forum here: -http://forums.jamkazam.com +* Computer with External Audio Interface - - You can use a Windows or Mac computer with an external audio interface that you already own and use for recording, if you happen to have one already. If you are going to do this, or use the built-in mic/headphones on your computer, please refer to our Minimum System Requirements at https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1288274-minimum-system-requirements to make sure your computer will work. These requirements were on the download page for the app, but you may have sped by them.

It's called the JamBlaster. It processes audio faster than any of the thousands of combinations of computers and interfaces in use on JamKazam today, which means you can play with musicians who are farther away from you, and closer sessions will feel/sound tighter. The JamBlaster is both a computer and an audio interface, so it also eliminates the system requirements worries, and it "just works" so you don't have to be an audio and computer genius to get it working. This is a great product - available only through a Kickstarter program running during a 30-day window during parts of February and March 2015.
