Low latency
Direct audio between musicians, ASIO drivers, an adjustable buffer and an audio engine built never to miss a beat.
A complete rehearsal room, inside your PC
GangJam combines a true console mixer, real-time audio between musicians far apart, session video and everything you need to organize jams. Below are the main features, with screenshots of the app; the details are in the guide.
// Mixer
A console like the ones in recording studios
Every audio interface input, every application playing sound and every connected musician has its own strip:
- gain, pan, high-pass filter, MUTE and SOLO;
- 4-band equalizer with analyzer, and dynamics (gate and compressor);
- VST3 effects chain with up to 16 slots, and NAM amp simulation;
- chromatic and polyphonic tuner on the inputs;
- separate send to the others (TX) and monitoring (MON), pre- or post-fader;
- extra outputs for speakers and headphones, monitor output 3-4, mix recording to WAV.
// Multichannel
Everyone makes their own mix
In multichannel, each musician reaches you with their own separate channels — vocals, guitar, backing track — each with its own name and strip: you balance them however you like, just like in the studio. On a slow connection you switch to stereo, a single mix that uses less bandwidth.
Application audio goes into the mixer too: the browser, a backing-track player, a video tutorial each become an independent strip that you can send to the others or keep to yourself.
// Rooms
Public and private rooms
Themed rooms — Blues, Jazz, Rock, Open Jam — are always open for meeting new musicians. Your private rooms have invites and collaborators, and you approve who joins.
- scheduled jams with email invites and a calendar event;
- room chat inside the mixer, with images, audio and video;
- recording with a consent request to everyone present.
// Smartphone
Your phone becomes a camera
Scan the QR code from the video window and your smartphone joins the jam as an extra camera: front or rear, with the flashlight. No app to install, just the browser.
- the phone's microphone shows up in the mixer as a strip;
- “Listen to the jam”: the PC's mix in your headphones on the phone, with push-to-talk;
- the grid with the other musicians' videos and the room chat.
// Notifications
Never miss an invite, and call the band
Invites, join requests and messages play in your headphones (never to the others, never in recordings), with the sound you choose. The bell above your avatar gets the attention of everyone in the room when it's time to start again.
And there's more
Session video
Video of all participants with hardware acceleration, multiple webcams, screen or window sharing, recorded videos with their audio.
Recording
The mix to WAV from the master, or the jam's video and audio to MP4 from the video window.
Analyzers
RTA, waveform, spectrogram, goniometer and loudness, pre- or post-fader.
Friends and messages
Find musicians by instrument and genre, see who's online or in a jam, and message people even when they're offline.
Band groups
The group chat stays even without a jam, with photos, audio and video; with GROUP JAM you invite everyone into a room in one click.
One-on-one jams and P2P
Invite a friend to play with just you; if the server doesn't respond, the direct P2P connection lets you play anyway.
