Jamulus for Mac

Virtual jam sessions

Jamulus is a music utility program developed by corrados for Mac devices. It allows you to virtually play, rehearse or simply jam with your bandmates or friends. Although, it is important to note that you will only be allowed to connect with a wired broadband connection as too many issues arise when WiFi is used. Furthermore, it will be possible for you to host your own private server wherein only those invited could join in.

Is Jamulus software free?

Jamulus is entirely available to download and use for free. It is an open-source program that is maintained by a community of developers. It is designed to provide high-quality and low-latency audio that helps you to play as well as learn together seamlessly and in real-time. Regarding your sound tools, it is most recommended for you to utilize a wired headphone in order to prevent echo or feedback, minimize delays, and ensure the best sound quality possible.

Aside from that, it is also advised for you to close all the other programs running in your macOS to lessen internet traffic as this Jamulus will heavily rely on your internet connection to function properly. One more thing, you are encouraged to connect to the servers that contain the lowest ping times. To give you a perfect example, servers with 15ms or below can usually give you the best connection speed and lowest latencies or lag.

The process of downloading the file in Mac is different from Windows. For macOS users, the file you'll download is in ZIP package format which means that you have to extract it first to access the DMG file. Once accessed, you need to click on it to unpack files and agree to the licenses presented, as well. Afterward, you must drag and drop both files into your 'Application' folder to install and run the program.

Enjoy music together

Jamulus is a convenient software solution that allows you to play, rehearse, create, learn, or jam to music together with your friends or bandmates remotely. A private server could be made if you want to have a more personal session. However, before running the program, you must make sure that you follow its list of requirements for you to have a smooth and fun jamming session virtually.
