With the current lockdown situation I am looking for ways to have online sessions. Zoom and Skype work OK using the built in mics on the devices, though the sound is not great. Plugging in the guitar or a dynamic mic through an audio interface gives better audio but with only one input.

I'm struggling to get Jamkazam to work on my system and latency is an issue.

Is anyone using anything else?

There are solutions that take multiple analog signals to digital. My current setup is a Apogee one. 2 lines in and headphone out . improves sound and helps control the mix. Others might have other better solutions.

Rule of the day: Latency = bad, better audio fidelity = good.
