JAMNet Studio The Multimedia, MultitrackingWorkstation built for musicians, bands, performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, stage techs and streamers

Every mic, MIDI device and video camera in the room, recorded together on one clock. A full DAW and video editor, so the night you live streamed and tracked, is the same session you mix, cut, and export the next morning, and it opens in the DAW you already use.

Latency

You Don't Want To Wrestle With Latency

Be honest: you don't want to mess with latency troubleshooting; you just don't want latency in the first place. We've got you covered, over the network or isolated in post-production, with transparent tolerance settings and per-plugin auto-bypass.

The engine

  • 32 samples, alwaysA fixed 32-sample block (0.67 ms per callback) and an engine written to that ceiling: nothing on the audio thread allocates, locks or waits. It's not a setting you can raise; it's the contract the rest of the app is built on.
  • Video that doesn't driftCameras are locked to the same clock as your audio interface. Hour three of the set lines up as tightly as bar one, in the file, with nothing to slide into place afterward.

Plugin Latency Tolerance

  • Set a ceiling, in samplesAny plugin that would push its chain past the ceiling is bypassed automatically. Everything that fits runs at its native latency. Off for tracking, Auto for mixing and mastering, On for a budget you choose.
  • See exactly what it costsA table lists every plugin, the bus it's on, what it requires and what it's costing you, with a running total in samples and milliseconds. Nothing is hidden behind a spinner.
  • Heavy plugins get their own roomGive one plugin a larger processing block (up to 2048 samples) without slowing anything else down. The delay it adds is compensated. The same budget gates video effects, so one number covers both sides.

Over the network

  • TOASTTransport Operated Audio Sync Tunnel: the protocol under networked play. A shared clock authority and an anchored transport, so two machines start on the same sample, not merely at the same moment. Running across a local network today; sessions between bandmates, then across the internet, are on the roadmap.
  • 48 kHz, 32-bit float end to endThat's the wire format, so nothing is resampled, negotiated or converted at the boundary.
The studio

One session holds the whole night

The audio, the MIDI, the cameras, the cuts, the charts, the lights and the setlist live in one session. Open it from the browser and everything the show needs is already there.

Sessions, side by side

  • Sessions browserEvery session on your machine, on any connected drive, or in the cloud, automatically organized, with what's in it before you open it.
  • Session tabsKeep more than one open. Copy takes and clips between them; the media follows.
  • Performance RecordOne continuous recording for the whole set. Songs launch on the bar line and nothing stops between them.
  • Perform the cut, edit it laterCamera switches made during the show land on the timeline as cuts you can move, restyle or remove afterward.

Built for the stage

The lights, the loops, the ears

The parts built around playing live, on the same timeline and the same clock as the music.

[shot: lighting-rig-1]Lighting rig photomedia/shots/lighting-rig-1.jpg

Lighting on tracks

Pre-program DMX cues that play along to your set. Lighting lives on tracks beside the music (same timeline, same clock) and goes out over Art-Net or a USB-DMX interface. Fixture rows in the piano roll, lighting dials you can automate.

Looper station

Pad-driven loops on any track, with count-in and hands-free control. A Behringer FCB1010 works out of the box: banks for the looper, the setlist, or chord-shift remapping under your feet. Loops are complete clips (audio, MIDI or video) that you can edit like anything else on the timeline.

Your ears, your phone

Every player dials their own in-ear mix from their phone, over the venue's Wi-Fi. Arm tracks, set levels, read lyrics and charts, check camera sources, from the stage. Afterward, mix from the couch.

  • Go live from the sessionStream to Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Restream and other RTMPS services without a second application in the chain.
The .jam format

A song is a folder

An open format for the songs you play live or rehearse. Everything a song needs on the night lives together in one .jam folder, and setlists sequence them so you can cue the next song without leaving the session.

Writing and charts

Tabs that play

Tabs run on the MIDI engine

A tab track is a MIDI track that reads as tab. Write the riff in tab, audition it through any instrument plugin you own, create custom keyswitch bindings, change the voicing, hear it again, then read the same part on stage, or as standard notation, from the same file.

  • Notation viewStandard notation below the tab grid, and Guitar Pro export when someone else needs the chart.
  • Vocal synthesisPut lyrics on MIDI notes and hear them sung by either of two built-in singing-voice engines: a sketch of the vocal line before it's tracked.

Amp, cab and space capture

Model what you own

[shot: nam-profiles-dnd]NAM profiles drag-and-drop onto a rackmedia/shots/nam-profiles-dnd.png

Your amp, your room, on a rack

  • Train your own amp modelA Neural Amp Modeler trainer built in. Send the signal, get a .nam profile, drop it onto a rack, or drop any profile you've collected.
  • Capture impulse responsesA cab, sure, but also a room, a plate, a spring, a stairwell. Anything you can send a swept sine through becomes an IR you can load in the same pass, reverbs included. Minimum-phase output is optional.
  • Freeze the rig In developmentDistill a whole chain into a captured profile plus IR that plays back at a fixed, known latency. Unfreeze and the chain comes back.
Plugins and racks

Ten plugins in the box, sixteen macros per rack

JAMNet Studio ships its own processing and metering as standard CLAP plugins. Stack them with your own AU, CLAP and VST3 plugins in racks, in any order, and drive any parameter from a rack's macro knobs.

[shot: plugins-macros]Window with the plugins browser, FX chain and a session openedmedia/shots/plugins-macros.png

Plugins browser + FX chainEvery AU, CLAP and VST3 plugin on the machine in one browser; drop one onto a chain and it's live. Map a rack macro to any parameter, save variations, glide between them.

After the beta

Your takes, safe before load-out

The app records to your own disk and always will. What comes next is optional cloud storage that understands sessions: a take that's already safe by the time you've coiled the cables is worth more than a hard drive in the van.

Record direct to cloud. Takes upload while you're still playing them. If the laptop dies at minute 47, minutes 0–46 are already safe.

Band pages and a practice room. Bandmates open the material from a browser, practice against the band minus their own part, and leave a take for the bandleader to review: no install.

Nothing is ever stuck here. Open formats, exports to the DAW you use, and a one-click copy to your own Google Drive if you leave. The pricing plan, published early.

Questions

Straight answers

What does the beta cost?

Nothing. Beta testers use the full app free. What it costs after launch is on the pricing page.

Which audio interfaces work?

Anything macOS sees as a Core Audio device, including class-compliant USB interfaces. Several devices can be combined into one input set.

Does my audio or video get uploaded?

Not unless you choose to. Recording, stem separation, tempo detection, transcription and amp training all run on your own machine: zero cloud-dependent processing. Cloud storage, when it arrives, is something you turn on.

Will it open in my DAW?

Sessions export to REAPER, Final Cut Pro and OpenTimelineIO today. Project Rosetta (an open-source converter between DAW and editor formats, with a list of exactly what carried over) is on the roadmap.

What about Linux?

Next, after the macOS beta. The target is Ubuntu Studio on affordable mini-PCs: the same engine, the same fixed 32-sample block.

What about Windows?

The engine goes where the operating system can keep a fixed 32-sample buffer on any class-compliant interface. On macOS and Linux that's a property of the OS; on Windows today it depends on which interface you bought. When Windows' new in-box audio stack ships and holds that contract, a Windows build is on the table. More on the About page.
