Jamulus - getting started.
- Find some wired (not bluetooth) headphones that you can use with your computer.
- Explore the Jamulus website. It does tend to
lead you into discouraging technicalities before it explains the
simple stuff, so I'll provide support if I can. Just ask!
- Quite a lot of the technical stuff is about making Jamulus
run fast. This may be important later on, when we try
actually singing, but it isn't our priority just now. Don't
worry about it.

- Visit this
page if you use a Windows computer, or this
one if you use a Mac system, and do what they say to get
Jamulus installed.
- for Mac: if your system declines to open the Jamulus installer, see the advice here.
- for Windows: if you're using your computer's built-in microphone, you will need to install ASIO4ALL before you install Jamulus. Instructions are on this page.
- Run Jamulus, create a profile for yourself, and connect to any
server. See the Jamulus onboarding
page for help. Once you get connected, you can disconnect
straight away. We are only trying to check that connection is
possible.
- Your profile is not permanent. You can change it easily at any time. So don't waste time on getting it "right" just now. Any name and any details will do.
