STEPS TO CONFIGURE NINJAM CLIENT WITH WINEASIO:
[[Image:ninjam1.png|thumb|150px|right ]]
<ol>
<li>'''Start the Jack Audio server'''. If you are not certain how to do this, refer to one of my other tutorials: [ [[Quick & Simple - Setting up Jack Server and Q-synth]] ]</li>
<li>'''Open a shell terminal window''', and use wine to start the Ninjam client. Your situation will be different than the following example, but let's assume that Ninjam client has been copied over to my home directory, and my home directory pathname is /home/msaul. Under that assumption, the command to startup the Ninjam client would be:
<br /><br />'''wine /home/msaul/NINJAM/ninjam.exe'''<br /><br /></li>
<li>When the Ninjam Client application window appears, click on the '''Options''' menu, then click '''Audio Configuration'''.[[Image:ninjam5.png|thumb|200px|right ]]</li>
<li>The NINJAM audio I/O configuration dialog box will appear.</li>
<li>Set the Input/Output System to '''ASIO'''.</li>
<li>If all is well, you should see the '''ASIO Driver display Wine ASIO Driver''', and the Input Range and Output Range values should appear in the text boxes...</li>
<li>You can now click on the '''ASIO Configuration''' button to display the Jack Audio Connection dialog box.<br /><br />You will not see anything until you actually connect to a Ninjam session, then the NINJAM SESSION will appear in the connections dialog box...</li>
<li>'''Switch back to the NINJAM audio I/O configuration dialog box''', click '''OK''' to exit ...</li>
<li>'''Switch to the Ninjam Client window'''.</li>
<li>Click on the '''file''' menu, then select '''Connect'''.<table align="right">

<td>[[Image:ninjam3.png|thumb|300px|right ]]</td>
</tr>
</table></li>
<li>The NINJAM Connection Configuration dialog box will appear.</li>
<li>Enter a host number to connect (preferably '''test.ninjam.com:2600''' or '''test.ninjam.com:2601''') for testing purposes.</li>
<li>Click the Connect button, and click the '''"I agree"''' checkbox in the NINJAM Server License Agreement, and then click the '''Accept''' button.</li>
<li>'''Switch to the Jack Connections dialog box'''. Select the '''ALSA''' tab, and connect the device (In my situation, '''Tascam US-122''') to '''Bristol (B3) Organ'''.</li>
<li>Then select the '''AUDIO''' tab. You should now see '''ASIO_NINJAM'''. Make the necessary connections. You should now be able to perform in the session...</li>
</ol>
'''NOTE:''' When you are performing, you are creating on ogg file of your performance, which is saved on your computer! This is useful, since '''you may want to test to see if you are recording in the session''', although there may not be other members present. You can always listen to the recording afterwards to confirm you are being heard. '''WARNING: Due to the latency of connections, you need to be patient and listen to the ENTIRE recording, before assuming that you did not record!''' FYI...
You can view (or change) the default location of the saved files. To view or set the default recorded session location, click on the '''options''' menu, then select '''Preferences'''...
