NINJAM is a program to allow people to make real music together via the
Internet. Every participant can hear every other participant. Each user can
also tweak their personal mix to his liking.

NINJAM uses compressed audio which allows it to work with any
instrument or combination of instruments. You can sing, play a real piano,
play a real saxophone, play a real guitar with whatever effects and guitar
amplifier you want, anything. If your computer can record it, then you can
jam with it (as opposed to MIDI-only systems that automatically preclude
any kind of natural audio collaboration1).

Since the inherent latency of the Internet prevents true realtime
synchronization of the jam, and playing with latency is weird (and often
uncomfortable), NINJAM provides a solution by making latency (and the
weirdness) much longer.

Latency in Ninjam is measured in measures, and that's what makes it
interesting.

The Ninjam client records and streams synchronized intervals of music
between participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins
playing on everyone else's client. So when you play through an interval,
you're playing along with the previous interval of everybody else, and
they're playing along with your previous interval. If this sounds pretty
bizarre, it sort of is, until you get used to it, then it becomes pretty natural.

Creator Justin Frankel (developer of Winamp) says it takes some getting
used to but becomes natural in time —. The creative and collaborative
potential here is pretty exciting, and this is only the beginning.
