Hiya Founder here - I was planning to post here this week - but it looks like someone beat me to the punch! I was just in the midst of recording a jam showing it working [nothing like seeing it in action]. This is me (playing lead) in Denmark jamming with my brother Alex (playing rhythm) in London live. The drums are a loop that's sent from my machine.

Please AMA about how it works or anything else you'd like to know.

Hi and congratulations for the launch! A lot of time ago I tested the Ninjam plugin for the Reaper DAW allowing strangers to jam online, same way as you do. I don't remember much about it, but do you know it and if so what do you think about it? How is Sublive different? Also, do you guys think that it could be interesting to implement a feature allowing people to pick strangers available for jamming, based on their distance to the user so that the latency could be minimized even more? As a musician I found that anything greater than 10ms can become frustrating when playing any faster music than a slow tempo...

@invalidusername Hi Hutchinson, Sam from the Sublive team here. Thanks for commenting on Sublive - have you managed to try it yet to make music? Sublive is different from Ninjam in that we provide a standalone app and we dont require you to set up a 'server' just to get started making music online. It's also not tied to a specific Digital Audio Workstations (we intend to make 'plugins' (integrations) that allow Sublive to be used with most DAWs). On 'discovery' of bandmates: It's something we're mindful of as one of the big hurdles to getting started making music, regardless of technology or whether you're making music online or offline. The good thing about making music 'remotely' (online) is that you can find way more musicians to do that with, compared to making music just with people who live in the same neighbourhood or city. We think that 30ms latency is very doable for staying in sync.

This is awesome! Was looking for something like this for friends earlier in the pandemic and couldn't find any great solutions, I'll send this along to them.

Hey - I’ve been working with Jonah on Sublive, as well as surveying what the competition are doing. Sublive is hands down the easiest and coolest way to stream music audio in groups. - No expensive proprietary audio hardware needed. - No need to set up ‘servers’ just to get started jamming. - A simple, minimal interface that ‘gets out the way’ of making music. Try it out today!

How does it work under the hood? Also, 17ms is kinda a lot, what distance can it cover under 10ms?

@harut_martirosyan It's UDP under the hood. Distance is dependant on a number of factors - the slowest bit is actually the connnection from your computer to the mainline internet. For reference sound travels 1 meter in 3ms and light travels 1000 km in 3ms
