How does this work? Im new here. I play drums I have a small electric roland kit. Mbox/ezdrummer/pro tools express. Not sure how to hook up with other guitar and bass. Im better at blusey classic rock, new wave stuff.
Hi,
I see you posted this a while ago, but I will answer, maybe you find it useful even now.
I solved all my multi-instrumental connections using a mixer that has a USB output, that goes into my laptop.
This way I can play my fretless bass, another fretted bass, electric guitar and even 2 keyboards, all connected to the mixer.
Laptop output is set to the analog out and goes to another small mixer where I can balance between Jammr output and my own instrument monitoring - that solved not feedback issues that may occur when you have input and output directed to same gear., but also allowed me to have better balance for my jam recordings, done on my own recorder.
If you don't have a USB mixer you need to use an interface which does the Analog to Digital conversion and routes your output to headphones or monitor. In this case you need to switch between connectors when want to plug in a different instrument (presuming you don't play two simultaneously).
Another way to hook things would be to use a guitar amp that has USB out or a guitar/bass effect with USB out straight to laptop. If the amp or the effect has Line In input you may hook your drums there, solving your issues without a mixer.
You may also feed Jammr from software that has MIDI/VST sounds straight from within the computer accessing MIDI Settings.
I hope this helps, looking forward to jamming with you,
