Here is our latest and improved guide on how to use the free Ninjam plugin for zero latency non-realtime jamming online.

• Gypsy Jazz Ninjam Youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPoRyxHpeEKMPy_puVZQ7-HBZ4t2kzqeb
• To get started with Ninjam you just need a microphone (or audio interface). Even the built in laptop microphone works somewhat decently.
• Some of the public Ninjam servers automatically record jam sessions and post them to archive.org. If you’d like to be in complete control install your own private server.
• You can set the BPI at 32 bars, the BPM at 160/4=40 and use a custom click track if you don't like the default metronome.

Tip: All Ninjam jams can be recorded by all participants, if they set the Ninjam -> File -> Preferences -> Save multitrack recordings to ON. To view one of the recordings find and open the clipsort.log file of the jam session in Reaper. Reaper will then generate a project with different tracks for each of the participants in the jam.
