- Learn how you can setup your audio input and output in JackTrip's settings.
This is where you choose your inputs, i.e. microphones and instruments, as well as your output (ideally headphones).
We also show you the difference between the Mono and Stereo settings to get you started with the best settings for your individual setup.
Note that we recommend you use an external audio interface for your instruments and microphones, or even a professional mixing board in case you have more than two input channels.
If you have further questions, leave us a comment and we'll get back to you!

Just watched your series from the sign up. Looks like cool program for collabs, live streaming and more. This is actually very timely for me. Thanks.
P.S. I wonder why I haven't heard of you guys before?
Hey there, thanks for your kind comment and glad to hear you enjoyed these videos. Not sure why you haven't heard about us before, but we're a pretty young company with innovative new technology, and only recently started building our online presence and marketing :)
Thanks for the useful info on setting up JackTrip. I have a question - does combining two inputs in stereo only work if you first connect these two inputs to an audio interface or small mixer? I've tried connecting two USB input sources directly to my MacBook Pro (one is a mic, the other is a USB feed from my Roland drum kit) and although I can see both input sources and they each work individually, I cannot hear both of them when I choose the Stereo option. It seems like it only lets me hear one or the other, depending which I choose as the input source.
Hi Andy, you're right about that! In JackTrip, you can only select one Audio input device so far. If you have multiple audio devices you'd like to send to JackTrip, we recommend that you either get a mixer and send the one stereo output from the mixer to JackTrip. However, there are some amazing software products out there as well that you might want to try out, including Rogue Amoeba's 'Loopback'. We're not affiliated with them, but they work well for some of us. Maybe they have a test version so you can see if it works for you!
Please let us know how it goes:)
Thanks, Jan
Hi Jan @@jacktriplabs - many thanks for your reply and advice. I downloaded a trial version of Loopback and it appeared to work fine alongside JackTrip as you suggested. However, as I'm likely to be only an occasional user, I reckon I'll pass on the approx. $120 that they require for a licence - I can pick up a small interface or mixer for less money and would probably have more actual live playing or recording scenarios where I could use the interface / mixer hardware instead of the Loopback 'virtual solution'.
One other bit of feedback from me - and this is a weird one. Each time I've used the JackTrip desktop app (only once with Loopback, the other times have been JackTrip only) I'm getting what appears to be a bug. I quit JackTrip (closing the app) and then close the lid of my MBP. Every time I then re-open my laptop, the OS has crashed and I need to manually re-boot my system. This never happens with any other app I have ever used on my laptop, and seems doubly weird considering I'm actually quitting the JackTrip app beforehand. Any ideas what the issue could be? .... For ref - I'm running MacOS Big Sur on an i7 MBP with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD.
