We will release our own (incredibly cool) recording feature soon.  Once live, the recording feature will automatically post your Gig Room recordings in your videos page. You will be able to save the videos as private, or public, and share them to your other social media channels.

In the meantime, here are instructions for recording your Gig Room with software that is already on your computer.

Have NO other programs or tabs open; or as few as possible to free your system’s memory and CPU. If Skype, Google Hangouts, or other applications are running they may cause issues with your session.

Ensure your have an open Network Address Translation (NAT).This may require you to adjust your Router or Firewall. Some routers using NAT employ a restriction called ‘Symmetric NAT’. This means the router will only accept connections from peers you’ve previously connected to.

For our recommendations on best practices, check out our Pro Tips.

Your system may have ambient noise reduction or feedback elimination settings that will turn down (or even mute) your microphone or speaker. You’ll need to make sure those systems are turned off. Another easy solution is simply to use headphones.

Most Gig Room sessions work perfectly well with the microphone and speaker that came with your device. You can upgrade your mic and/or speaker system, but keep in mind that every new connection point creates a tiny amount of latency.

Yes!  We would love to arrange a demo. Just click here to request one. 

For our purposes, latency is the delay (or lag) that a user experiences when interacting with others online. Latency is measured in milliseconds (1/1000 of a second). Sound travels at the speed of 1 foot per millisecond, so a 10 millisecond delay is what you would experience when playing music with someone who is standing 10 feet away from you. Musicians commonly make music on concert stages where there can be 100 milliseconds of latency. Most Gig Room sessions clock a latency of between 25 and 75 milliseconds - most of which comes from the device (the time it takes a camera or microphone to encode the image and the audio, and the time it takes the screen and speakers to render the received image and audio). This is why it is so important to follow our recommendations for best practices for a successful user experience (see above).

No. You can post as many videos as you like on your Videos Page. You can tag those videos as Portfolio, Performance, Just Practicing, and Just for Fun. You can also share those videos with others via email, FaceBook and Twitter.
