- In the Jamulus client, under settings, tick ‘Enable Small Network Buffer’
- At the bottom of the ‘misc’ panel, observe the ‘Ping’ and ‘Overall Delay’ times.
- In ideal conditions we are looking for a ping of less than 40 and an overall delay of under 40ms – HOWEVER! These are only a guide, and you should physically test your latency using the steps below before taking further measures.
- Plug your microphone or instrument directly into your audio interface.
- Set the input gain as you normally would.
- IMPORTANT, make sure that any form of direct monitoring is switched off – at this point you should see metering on your interface, but not be hearing anything!
- Next, close the settings tabs in Jamulus, and then click ‘Connect’
- In the ‘Server Name/Address’ field enter this: <<SERVER IP HERE>>, and click connect.
- Carefully begin to raise the volume control of your daw, while playing you instrument or singing. It’s highly advisable to do this while wearing headphone if you are using a microphone to mitigate feedback.
- What you are hearing back should give you a good impression of the latency/lag that your system is producing, if the above instructions have been followed you should find this negligible.
