Network chat with jack audio & screen share?

Post by tavasti »

Hi!

For collaboration music projects, specially for mixing it would be handy to have some network chat with screen share and jack audio support. Idea is to share screen with DAW and send audio output to remote end, so we can fine-tune things online. No need for web camera, and not sure do we need even microphone, but if it is jack audio, you can route anything there. At both ends, running Linux.

Anything to suggest?

I'm thinking about the same...
I think a mix of jitsi for talking and sharing screens and something like jamulus for audio would be a good solution. Jitsi audio is optimzed for speech and not good at audio, a webradio delays up to a minute, so the only almost realtime audio are jamulus and similar. One more advantage would be separation of speech and audio.

Fiddling with sequencers does not evolve into music necessarily and Mac users have smelly feet and guzzle little children.

For us the speech would not be that important, we can write :-)

I checked jamulus, in instructions it says 'set samplerate to 48000'. Does not work when having Mixbus project with 44100 samplerate.

But if both ends would use 44100, would it work?

I don't know. I work just on 48k. I never had problems with other clients in different sessions (and i don't know about others' setups/configuration), i use it now for something like 5 years.
