The “Funky Frets” Jamulus Server: Funky Frets Two
LIVE!!! • (Actually ALWAYS Running & FREE) • (66.228.45.25)

The Funky Frets/LearningUkulele.com Jamulus Server (Funky Frets Two), was a dedicated and FREE place for ukulele players worldwide to jam during the COVID pandemic. It was a public server and open to anyone in the world and ALWAYS running. LearningUkulele.com and Funky Frets maintained and paid for the server for Ukulele pLayers worldwide to use.

This Funky Frets Two server was located in Northern New Jersey on cloud server providers, super close to one of the Internet backbones and typically very low latency.

Jamulus is still a great tool to connect with fellow musicians worldwide — without living where you are.

Connecting to a Jamulus Server

After launching the Jamulus client application, click on the "Connect" button in the Jamulus (Mixer) window and select All Genres from the List menu in the "Connection Setup" window. Then select the Funky Frets Two server, Newark, NJ United States. For scheduled Funky Frets/LearningUkulele.com jams, select the scheduled server or enter the IP Address that your where sent. You can setup your own jams on non-scheduled times and use any of the Funky Frets servers.

Select the Funky Frets Two server. Funky Frets Two will be the most available with the lowest ping times. The Funky Frets East server and the Jamulus client where on the same computer at my home and that is why it's 1ms. The "ping" times are all relative to a Northeast, USA connection.

The Jamulus Settings Panel on the Linux, the Pop!_OS distro.

If you are connecting to a private Jamulus server then enter the IP Address you where emailed in the Server Address field at the bottom right hand corner of the "Connection Setup" window.

Troubleshooting

Most, easy initial problems you might have are selecting you sound source.

On the web since 1992 and a Mac since 1987 (Mac II) • Serving up Ukulele content since 2003 ( 22 years ago ) • Lets Kanikapila!!! v12.13.0 (8.2.23) • And, since Sept 2020, happily on Pop!_OS Linux & COSMIC-DE and a System76 Thelio . Half the cost of the iMac and a real treat to use. I use it for ALL development work. Only wish the Affinity Suite of apps by serif where available on Linux (and I do know you can run them in Wine with a few hacks).
