Official website • Support link
NINJAM is open source (GPL) software to allow people to make real music together via the Internet. NINJAM uses compressed audio which allows it to work with any instrument or combination of instruments. The NINJAM client records and streams synchronized intervals of music between participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins playing on everyone else's client.- Overview

Ease of use
NINJAM requires some terminal commands to operate the server as well as a basic understanding of DAWs (REAPER). The client is a plugin loaded by REAPER that then connects to a server.
info
This is not a standalone application but actually a plugin for REAPER
caution
NINJAM is not a realtime system but uses musical measures to sync multiple parties.
