"Jackie in the Rain" YouTube link, recorded on Jamulus server

[kdoren]

Here's a little something to start off the "Show and Tell" category - I encourage others to add their own.
If you haven't jammed online yet - yes it can really work, and when it works it it's pretty fun.

This is a recording of an ensemble I play with at Jazz Night School in Seattle (the instructor is Jared Hall). The tune is "Jackie in the Rain" by Terence Blanchard.

Musicians:
Geoff Fitch - Guitar
Paul Blaney - Drums
Matt Shevrin - French Horn
Kevin Doren - Keyboard
Bill Berry - Bass

The audio was recorded on our Jamulus server, then downloaded and mixed in Reaper.
The video is from a parallel (no-audio) Zoom call and was synced to the audio later.
Keyboard and Drums are using Jambox on Raspberry Pi.

Well played and nice to put a face to the creator of Jambox! This is my - now 50% - Jambox powered band playing over Jamulus and Zoom in the summer

Nice! good virtual "stage presence" too, my group needs to work on that....

Yes, lovely playing, and great to see who we have to thank for Jambox!

We're still experimenting with Jamulus, sorting out the various network, computer and audio interface situations in the band, but I've had a couple of very good sessions already with our other guitarist with the server running on a Jambox. It handles five clients effortlessly: a backing track (to replace the missing members), a clicktrack, my guitar, my voice, and his guitar, so I'm confident it will handle the entire band fine. The best thing is that, unlike a computer (which is typically needed for other things as well), we can pass it around to see whose location and internet connection works best.

I've set up another Jambox as a client with a Pisound HAT, which may turn out to be the perfect solution for some band members. Everything in one tiny package, and with lower latency than my studio workstation.

We'll definitely post a video once everything is up and running!

@rbrcht thanks, that sounds great. I'd love to get more data points when you have them about how much load you can put on jambox running jamulus-server.

Massive fan of the project Kevin!

I wanted to share some stuff we did last year before jambox existed if that's ok? The jambox now lives on my pedalboard and is my go-to device!

These were both done as 'Virtual Performances' for 2 UK festivals, Techfest and ArcTangent.

My band is called Axiom, we're a 3 piece instrumental prog/rock/metal band

Drum - Josh Ainsworth
Bass - Stuart Drinkwater
Guitar - Zaid Crowe

Similarly to you, we recorded it on the server, exported it to reaper where stems were created for our engineer who mixed the result in cubase.

Video was recorded on our phones and edited in DaVinchi resolve.

@Zaidcrowe Wow, great playing, great videos, and really good stage presence also! Thanks for sharing!
How do you like your headless guitar, it that a Strandberg?

[Zaidcrowe]

That's super kind of you Kevin! I was taught by a jazz guitarist and a lot of the chord voicings and time sigs we use come from that world - I loved seeing your performance too!

Stage presence feels like such a strange concept in this context. We normal rock up and rock out, but with this, we really had to think about/structure what we wanted to say, I'm sure it would get easier with practise.

Re the headless stuff; I adore them. The Strandberg also have the endure neck, which for me has been a bigger thing, though these days I go between normal and endure neck with almost no consideration! Have you tried one?

[kdoren]

I'm not a guitar player myself (my sons both play guitar/bass though), so no I haven't tried one. I have enough work ahead of me trying to improve on keyboard! ;)
