Instructions for the Host

These instructions are for the person running the studio/rehearsal. They go through how to create a studio, invite others, and adjust studio settings.

Log in to app.jacktrip.org

Then click “Virtual Studios” in the left nav menu to go to app.jacktrip.org/studios

Create a studio 

Click the green “+ Create Studio” button in the top right corner

Choose a good name. Or don’t and we’ll auto-generate a GREAT name.

Pick a location near you when prompted.

Start your studio

After you create your studio, your Virtual Studios page will look something like this. Either click the "Manage" grey sprocket button (yellow square), or the white card representing the studio, to focus on the studio and access the settings. Once you have focused on the studio, click the green start button to launch your studio!

Note, while using a free account, private studios last for 30 minutes before turning off automatically. If you chose to broadcast on Jacktrip Radio publically, this time limit will be removed.

Invite people

The studio host can invite people with the “Invite” button in the top right corner. Clicking this button will copy a link ("https://...") to your clipboard. Share this link with anyone you would like have access to your studio. You can paste it into an email, chat, social media, calendar invites, or whatever mechanism you prefer.

Click these to copy + share invite links

People who click on this link will be added as subscribers for this studio. If your studio is active, they will also be immediately guided through the process of joining your session. They can reuse the link as many times as they like to easily join future studio sessions with just one click.

If someone clicking the link has not already created a Virtual Studio account (free), you will be rewarded with a $5 account credit. You can only earn one credit per new account created using your studio links; however, there is no limit to the amount that you can earn. Account credits are redeemable only for Virtual Studio subscriptions, and any credit not used after 1 year will expire.

Customize your audio mix with Soundscapes

The studio host can adjust the reverb, compression, loopback volume (formerly known as "self volume"), master volume, and more by using the Soundscapes Tab. (Please note, you can only adjust your soundscapes if the studio is running)

Soundscapes tab- lots of audio processing options.

For more info about soundscapes, see Using JackTrip Soundscapes to Control your Audio and add FX

Go Live on Radio

The host can Go Live to the public on Jacktrip.radio once in the video room using the record button

FYI, “Go Live - Unlisted” generates a link for your station but does not show on Jacktrip.radio

You can also schedule upcoming events and share on social media from this page. Fun stuff!

That's it!

You should now have a studio ready to go. Invite some friends, and have some fun!
