If you're not too far away from the other people you're playing with (say within 1000 miles), you can play uptempo music without any problem. See our "What's Possible With FarPlay" playlist.

Hi Markita, glad you're enjoying FarPlay! If you're hearing echo, make sure that everyone in the session is using wired headphones, not their computer speakers. That'll fix it!

​@@FarPlayAppThanks so much, it really did help! Your platform is wonderful. Would love the option of overhead view of hands as well.

You can use FarPlay both ways (hearing your own voice in the session or not). If you use the input mixer to bring audio (like backing tracks) into the session alongside your mic audio of your voice, then, you'll hear your own voice. If you're not bringing in backing tracks, you can drag the monitor slider for your sound all the way to the left, if you prefer not to hear your own voice through FarPlay.

Our pleasure. Thanks for sharing how FarPlay helps you too!

Right back at you!

Thanks! FarPlay is ultra-low-latency, so even though we were in separate locations, we were playing together in real-time and it felt basically the same as it would to record in separate booths in a recording studio.

Thank you for your question. Yes, that's a really high latency for Tuscon to Dallas. Can you first make sure that each end is connecting their computer directly to their main router (not a wireless extender router, Apple Time Capsule, or Powerline adapter, etc.) using Ethernet? Make sure no VPN is used. Could you share what kind of internet service (example: fiber or cable) and what kind of computer (Mac or Windows) each end is using? Thanks!

Thanks Bernd!

Thank you for your question. We currently don't have an official Discord server, but we'll let you know if we start one!

P.S. We invite you to visit our support forum at farplay.io/forum/, which is the fastest way to get tech support from us!

cool!

FarPlay transmits data peer-to-peer (vs. Jamulus's hub-and-spoke approach) and transmits uncompressed audio (vs. compressed Opus audio in Jamulus). FarPlay has built-in video (Jamulus doesn't have video). FarPlay has a mixer for bringing in more than 2 channels from an audio interface (but each instance of Jamulus brings in only up to 2 channels of audio). Depending on musicians' internet connections, ensembles of around 8 participants are possible (we know of a group of 10 that meets regularly). Even though FarPlay has been tested with 8 Mbit/s of upload speed, we recommend at least 50 Mbit/s of upload speed. My friend (New York) and I (New Jersey) can easily get sub-10 ms one-way estimated latency. We're both on Verizon FiOS. With good connections, sub-40 ms latencies are possible between New York and San Francisco. There's more latency with cable internet than with fiber optic internet. Cheers!

@@FarPlayApp great! have compared using jamulus?

Yes, I (David) have used both FarPlay and Jamulus. With Jamulus, someone needs to set up/rent a server (unless you use one of the public servers). FarPlay can use native Windows audio devices natively (don't need to set up ASIO4ALL).

@@FarPlayApp ok. some difference in sound quality/latency?

If you have sensitive enough ears, you might notice the difference between the compressed Opus audio Jamulus uses and the uncompressed PCM audio on FarPlay. The hub-and-spoke approach of Jamulus will have higher latency (audio has to get from a user, to the server, and then to another user rather than directly from user to user).

Right back at you guys! You changed our lives for the better!!! I've been teaching online and cannot imagine life without FarPlay!!! Thank you so much!

Thanks! This makes us so happy to hear!

Thanks Bernd!

Sorry for the trouble. Please, can you email our team at support@farplay.io so we can help you?

No! FarPlay has had built-in low-latency video for quite some time now.

Hi Jason, we're trying to keep our user experience as friendly as possible, and for that reason, for now we only send stereo. Sending multi-track is something we've been considering for a while, but we have some other features that we think are more important to more people that we're working on first.

@@DanTepferMusic thanks for the reply. Stereo can definitely work for some applications. Especially for oberdubs of live concerts.

@@JasonWelchMusic Happy to help. Enjoy!

🙂

Hi Jesse, this depends entirely on distance. For very demanding rhythmic situations, you want 20ms or less latency, equivalent to being 20ft or less apart. I suggest you try it and see! It's free.

Hey Bernd, this wasn't a live stream so Dan simply clicked "record multitrack" in FarPlay and mixed the audio afterwards. There are lots of examples of FarPlay's Broadcast Audio feature being used for live concerts in front of livestream audiences on Dan's TH-cam channel th-cam.com/users/DanTepferMusicvideos?view=2&live_view=503

Hi Sarge, we have monetization off for our channel. I'm not sure why you're being shown ads - it isn't our intention. Having looked into it, it seems like TH-cam can place ads on videos even if the content creator has turned monetization off, so I guess we need to change platforms.

:-)

For now (as of Feb 2022), FarPlay is for one-to-one sessions only, but we will be adding multi-user capability very soon.
