Using Jam Sessions, how do I hear all of us playing together using headphones?

Hi,

Can a group using Jam Session on Garage Band individually hear the "mix" or all of us playing together in real time using our individual headphones on eqch of our iOS devices?

The idea was to have at least 2 to 3 guitar players, each playing through Garageband (using their own iOs device), using the amp sims, and jam together, hearing ourselves and each other through our own respective headsets. Just jamming, not recording.

The Jam Session video shows four people using iPad's together with no headphones.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't used this feature but it seems to me everyone's individual device is outputting it's own sound. So if everyone wanted to Jam with headphones on I would think you would need a small mixer that would except the audio out from each device that could be mixed and then outputted to a headphone breakout box. Or try typing the search word - Headphone Mixer for an "All-in-one" type box.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. What I was just wondering was if there was a way to do this with Jam Session, via Bluetooth. Hoping it's possible :) if not, my friend has a Jamhub we can use. Sure would be convenient to hear each other via headphones on the Bluetooth thing.
