Chuck NinJam is an open-source (meaning freely shared via the Net) software for both Mac and Windows computers which allows you to send/receive audio real-time via an Internet host server to another person or persons that you would do music with. There is a small amount of delay in the process but it's easily adjusted to after a few minutes into your interactive session. My music partner in Chinapainting, Daryl Shawn, and I have collaborated for over a year via NinJam. He lives in Mexico and I in New York. To get NinJam, goto www.ninjam.com and click on the Download menu at top of the home page. From there choose either the Mac or Windows client download. The installation is straightforward and once installed go into Ninjam Preferences and set your audio system input/output. That's about it. On the NinJam site there are 4 or 5 public hosts you can connect to. We connect to a private host that may be available in addition. Contact CPR via this list re that. When you use one of the public NJ servers by the way you can turn down others that are in the virtual room if you are interacting with someone specific, meaning just because there's more than yourself and whoever you might be interacting with, turning down the others will allow you to keep the session "private" to just your session I believe. Hope this helps, it's a wonderful Internet tool that has totally made our project possible as the article reflects.
