<p>JackTrip is a cross-platform multi-machine audio system used for network music performance over the Internet. It supports any number of channels (as many as the computer/network can handle) of bidirectional, high quality, uncompressed audio signal streaming.</p><p>You can use it between any combination of machines e.g., one end using Linux can connect to another using Mac OSX.</p>
