Hey folks,

For those interested in jamming accross MSN with other people, I thought I`d put together this little guide for you to try it

there are sometimes latency problems and the signal is cut sometimes. Try it anyway, maybe it

works for you sometimes!


Start with launching POD Farm or Gearbox. Then open MSN and click on the Extras button where the following

window is going to appear.



Click on Audio and Video Setup. You are going to see this window:



Click on "Next".



Here you should choose the "Speakers (your audio interface)" option from the list. Then click on "Play Sound"

and make sure if you hear the sound. If not, make sure if your headphones/speakers are connected properly to your

audio interface which should be linked to the computer correctly. If everyhing´s ok, click on "Next".



Choose from the drop-down list the option that says "Audio Interface (the name of it). Now, make sure that

your guitar is connected to your interface and play something, it doesn´t matter what, nobody is going to hear you

yet, so you can mess up everything. If it works without problems, click on "Next".



Now you are supposed to choose your webcam from the list. If you see yourself in the box (if your camera is set up

correctly and if it focuses you and not the floor ), it is working and you can click on "Finish".



Now you can start talking with someone and call him. Normally, he should hear you.


I hope that everything is clear and it works for you! If not, don´t hesitate to contact me.

See you,
Tolek

Thanks for opening.
If you are looking for a test partner, you can add me. Would be really amazing to have a jam with you.

Tolek does this thing work without latency?

Posted by: Smells Feb 7 2009, 01:52 AM

yes we`ll give this a go sometime, although my connection at home is not all that good but we can try

Posted by: Tolek Feb 7 2009, 12:31 PM

Sometimes there´s latency, but sometimes we can have a pretty nice sounding jam in real time. It all depends on I don´t know what.


Very cool! Send me a PM when you´re ready, then I´ll give you my msn adress.

Nice tutorial , I gotta test this

Posted by: Emir Hot Feb 7 2009, 12:41 PM

This is useful info. Cheers for this.

How can u use your headset and your guitar at the same time? I can't seem to record them at the same time

Posted by: Tolek Feb 7 2009, 01:53 PM

It´s impossible to use both at the same time unfortunately.

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 7 2009, 02:21 PM

Tolek would this same guide work for SKYPE?

Posted by: Tolek Feb 7 2009, 02:36 PM

I think so. I never tried it, but I can do it now. I´m going to let you know if it works.

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 7 2009, 02:40 PM

That would be great man !
I used to use skype and now I am planing to download it again and have some jams on it.
Looking forward to it

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 7 2009, 02:41 PM

skype works fine for this...

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Mar 8 2009, 06:39 PM

I must try the Skype thing, sounds cool if possible

Posted by: Tolek Mar 8 2009, 06:44 PM

Sure, no problem. It is basically the same thing, there are only different images and texts. If you need someone to try with, I can help you.

Posted by: Emir Hot Mar 8 2009, 06:51 PM

Skype has half a second delay regardless of internet speed

Posted by: Tolek Mar 8 2009, 06:58 PM

Hm. not good... Thanks for the info.

Posted by: kjutte Mar 30 2009, 10:35 PM

No, but it's just as easy.

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Mar 30 2009, 10:42 PM

I figured it out in the meanwhile thanks

Posted by: kjutte Apr 1 2009, 01:21 PM

I'm glad

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Apr 1 2009, 01:30 PM

I've played with few GMC'ers using http://www.ejamming.com/, and it worked pretty well I think

Posted by: Tolek Apr 1 2009, 03:30 PM

That must be a great thing! Thanks for sharing it!

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 18 2009, 11:28 PM

I tried it few times but it didn't work for me There were constant disconnecting problems all the time...But I haven't tried in a while , maybe they have repaired all the bugs so far!

Posted by: Vasilije Vukmirovic May 5 2009, 11:24 PM

Wow, this is what I've been waiting for, fantastic explanation.
I mean, that half second delay is tricky...but they will fix it some how in the future...

Posted by: Carlos Carrillo May 6 2009, 03:23 PM
