Finally, be aware that apps like SonoBus are targeted towards musicians, few of who are comfortable running command line programs, let alone setting up Jack on Windows (which is an adventure on its own).
ok, thanks. Yeah I'm trying it out now. It seems like it will be useful for non-technical musicians. And the GUI is "just enough"...has a mixer and configuration for my audio device and a few things like record and metronome, but isn't overdone like JamKazaam.
Seems to me a killer feature is the ability to run as a VST plugin inside of a DAW or OBS, so users can incorporate SonoBus into their DAW's workflow rather than setting up a new thing entirely.
* doesn't need Jack
* (optional) compressed audio using the Opus codec
* public and private groups
* automatic resampling and reblocking between peers
* (optional) dynamic jitter buffer adjustment
* built-in panning, mixing and some FX (compressor, eq, reverb, etc.)
* metronome
* record output to disk
* also available as a VST plugin
* and probably more
Also, don't underestimate the value of a good UI ;-)
