few friends.


Most of those are done layer by layer with a conventional multitrack
application. Record a track, send the file on to the next guy.

The one I was thinking about claimed to be real-time, but who knows?

Anyone know of an app that is good for real-time jam sessions from
different locations? Ideally, the app would not introduce delay and be
compatible with most operating systems.


None of them really work all that well once you start adding more than
a couple people, but the popular ones include Jammr, JamKazam, and Jamulus.
All of these work as well as your network connection does, and just because
you have plenty of bandwidth doesn't mean you have low latency.

This is true. I looked into JamKazam, which seems to be a generally good
approach as far as server access, cross-platform support and other
variables. However, resolving latency issues with those who are not
technically astute would make it a challenge to implement.
