Real-time on-line music sessions
Dave Sawdon:
Not sure if this is the best pigeon hole to put this in, but hopefully the mods will move it if there's a better home.
In common with many here (I suspect) I run a local session, which I've had to cancel for the foreseeable future. As an ex-techie I'd like to explore whether any of the conference systems (the corporate ones as well as Whatsapp, Skype, AWS, etcetera) are suitable for using for an on-line session; the obvious problem being latency. Has anyone any experience, whether good or bad, that is relevant?
If all else fails I'll have to send-out recordings of me playing through the session tune list ..... and nobody deserves that to be inflicted on them!!
Edited to add: if some form of on-line session turns-out to be feasible I'd like to reserve the name "Folk in the Cloud" ;)

I was starting to think of something like that. But you got there first.
I was thinking of "Skype My Ceilidh / Skype Mo Cheilidh" then it occurred to me that it might have to be a very slow and steady session. When I Skype in to meetings in Inverness from Port Righ the lag is such that I hear myself coming back through the mics at the other end abot a quarter second behind. Mind you that sort of lag can be heard between choir and congregation singing in a large church. So it may not be insurmountable. I like the idea.

I am also interested in finding a way of playing together with a couple friends - they are in Scotland and I am in France. I have been given some suggestions but being fairly illiterate about computers, I don’t know how to test them out......
If anyone can advise, I would be very grateful. The suggestions are:
JamKazam; jammr; Jamulus and Ninjam

Not tried it but it does seem to be being used by a lot of the Face book folky community...if that can be said to be a recommendation...
