Setting up JackTrip

By: Ulrik Halmøy

Intro

• What is JackTrip

Jacktrip is a utility developed at CCRMA at Stanford for low-latency audio transmission between multiple clients.

Jacktrip employs the Jack protocol a high definition API for audio communication between applications. Jacktrip appears to be one of the few viable tools that, in theory, works on every operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) which makes it a potentially worthwhile investment from the angle of usability and access alone.

This brief tutorial will show how to connect to another peer using the P2P mode from QJackTrip. For more elaborate group sessions, a Hub Client is needed. Please see the instructions listed on QJackTrip's website.
