| Follow Instructions | Install Software | Ethernet Only | Use Headphones |

Jacktrip is an open source, audio only, software program written by Chris Chafe and Juan-Pablo Caceres, that sends and receives low latency, uncompressed audio over the Internet. It was originally created as a research tool, but quickly became popular in the academic community, as well as in the private sector, supported by a large number of users and volunteer developers. Over the past pandemic year, Jacktrip has undergone a rapid development phase and widespread expansion as an increasing number of people all over the world have adopted it to continue singing and playing together from geographically separate locations.

At the Maker Music Festival, attendees who have installed the software noted below, or who have a Jacktrip Virtual Studio or Raspberry Pi device, can join a Zoom meeting to receive live support and instructions for joining a free Jacktrip server to play or sing live with others. The focus will be on basic connection and operation.

There will be two sessions each day, one for Windows 10 users at 10am on Saturday, and 11am on Sunday, and one for OSX 10.13+ users at 2pm. Linux users are welcome but no download links or tutorials will be given. Note that different operating systems and devices can connect at the same time with Jacktrip, but the settings for Win and Mac differ somewhat, so those users are scheduled into separate tutorial sessions.

BEFORE arriving to the session, all participants must download and install the appropriate software, or have a Virtual Studio or Raspberry Pi device in order to connect to the server. Server info with be shared in the Zoom tutorial session.
