https://vdo.ninja may provide better quality in terms of audio/video and lower latency than Skype. It's a different approach, and has more buttons/knobs, but provides a high quality and free solution supporting ro

I'd recommend checking out the SSL2, Universal Audio Volt and Focusrite Scarlett. IMO always worth shopping used too. I'd avoid the super cheap Behringers, M-Audios, and the like. These will typically be noisy and have essential

The Shure SM7B is a very popular microphone, but for a remote meetings use case I'd suggest starting with a quality XLR capable audio interface (this is a requirement for the 7B anyway) and a Shure SM57 mic. The reason I suggest not st

Congratulations, you've just sent all of your legitimate DNS traffic to a tracker (the thing pi-hole is usually deployed to avoid). Remember that when a service is free, you are usually paying with your data.

Ninjam is a bit different, in that its not a looper. The timing is offset to keep music sounding in sync to all clients, but what you play plays once and does not loop. In endlesss phrases will loop until they are changed or removed.

I think https://endlesss.fm got the approach to jamming over the internet right. Instead of trying to reduce latency (which you simply cannot do beyond speed of light) endlesss implements a shared “multiplayer” 8 track looper. J

I think spotify should just hire DJs and run live radio shows. Its been a long time since the algorithmic playlists provided anything useful for me. I find most new music by listening to different online radio streams these days.
