The record

Purpose: Jamulus lets people play, rehearse, or jam remotely in real time with high-quality, low-latency sound over a broadband connection.
Use cases: The site describes use by choirs, bands, folk and classical musicians, music lessons, schools, and universities.
Free and open source: Jamulus is free and open-source software licensed under the GPL.
Platforms: The download page links to builds for Windows, macOS, Debian/Ubuntu, and other platforms.
Mixer: The client mixer lets users adjust the level they hear from each connected musician, with mute, solo, pan, and grouping controls.
Chat: Clients connected to the same server can exchange text messages that are visible to everyone on that server.
MIDI control: A connected MIDI controller can control mixer volume faders, pan, mute, and solo, with platform and version availability documented in the manual.
Self-hosting: Users can run their own servers, but the manual says this is optional because clients can use listed or unlisted servers.
Server capacity limit: Directories can register up to 150 servers, according to the server administration manual.
Network requirements: The manual says server quality depends on network conditions and that fewer than five players is usually fine on a slower home connection such as 10 Mbit/s down and 1 Mbit/s up.
Privacy and encryption: The privacy statement says Jamulus communications between clients, servers, directories, and third-party protocol users are sent without encryption.
Profile data: During normal use, a user's Jamulus name, city, country, instrument, and skill level are exchanged with connected servers, peers on those servers, and protocol-using third parties such as directories.
Recording: Unmodified servers show a notice when recording is enabled, and recordings are stored by and controlled by the server operator.
Support: The site directs users to documentation, troubleshooting pages, and community forums for help.
