Just tried setting it up on my machine. Turns out one of the requirements is to disable direct monitoring on your interface. Unfortunately, on my 11R, the only way to do that is via Pro Tools, which I don't have. I think this is why when I tried a test recording, nothing was recorded.
Would love to try it with other people. My settings tell me it should work with 3 people.
One of the biggest drawbacks is that it won't let you play backing tracks, only something you have already recorded. :-(
I tried to connect using my Mustang 3 USB interface to record guitar. It worked, but there was a whole lot of crackling and popping, and the recorded volume was very, very low and pretty poor quality. I tried using the Fender ASIO driver, but my latency was poor and the I/O was always in the red, so I never got it to work.
I would like to get a better setup, and mic my amp. Michael and Lloyd are using mixers, so I plan on going to GC after work tonight and looking at 4-channel mixers, mic and stand. I also want to be able to use my JamMan looper for backing tracks, and my BeatBuddy drum machine. So, I think 4 channels should be enough.
Do I also need an audio interface in addition to the mixer, to go between the mixer and my PC?  JamKazam recommends something like this:

Lastly - what are you guys using for voice chat? I have a gaming headset with microphone that was working, but I read on the forums that it may cause extra latency. I don't know.
Any help is much appreciated.

I am now a backer. This is such a cool idea. Can you imagine a BGU Live, online edition?
Tuesday nights at 7:30pm EST we get together and play the blues...easy stuff and a couple of members of BGU come on.I'm waiting for the service to take off. I have not been able to find people to play with the few times I tried. Since I don't have a band or group of people I would play with regularly with, it's not worth my getting the JamBlaster yet.
Should I regularly play (for example with people in this forum) it would be an entirely different matter.
