<p>Hi, if you don't have to play simultaneously with students, Zoom
or Jitsi (FLOSS) can do it. I use jitsi for online course and it
works nicely, but with some latency, so no way to play with
students. If you have to play with them, Jamulus can do it with
good settings (no wifi, you must have 2 computers, one for jamulus
'server' - no need a real server, just the jamulus server app- and
another for jamulus app). But students needs a computer and sound
card, etc... Zoom (which have a Linux app) or Jitsi can be used on
phone/tablet or computer, so more flexible but doesn't allow to
play simultaneously without problematic layency.</p>

<br>
<br>
As we're entering a 'tighter' lock-down in my area this week I
will need to attend online music lessons (bass). The suggested
tool is zoom with 'original sound' option selected, but it seems
this is not available on Linux (nor in a web (chrome?) client)
[1].
<br>
<br>
In the past setting the 'noise reduction' (or maybe it's echo
cancellation) to low seemed to work OK, but I'm wondering if
anyone knows of any work-arounds.
<br>
<br>
Or any other platform (Discord seems to use Opus which sounds
promising).
<br>
The one used for the last LAC seemed also quite nice, but I guess
that's not free (as in 'gratis')? As zoom is the tool selected by
the music school it should also be something relatively
hassle-free for the teacher and cross-platform (i.e. assume they
will not be on Linux, so no funky stuff like having to install a
Mumble server etc. :-| ... Although the offers on mumble.com seem
quite reasonable, but has anyone used it for music?)
<br>
<br>
I _am_ already able to set-up e.g. my Zoom H5 (the device not the
software) or usb audio interface via JACK to have a decent
mic/input at the source and then pulseaudio-jack sink for audio
I/O with these apps (I actually helped my son do remote drum
lessons which included piping smplayer via jack to him locally and
his teacher as well as the e-drum line out with JACK).
<br>
But of course there's no much point in having decent quality at
the source if the software is doing funky stuff like noise
reduction and echo cancellation at the source :-|
<br>
<br>
Any suggestion welcome.
<br>
<br>
Lorenzo.
