Default Can't get sound to ninjam control panel

I hope someone can help me with this as I can't seem to figure it out on my own.

I have my tracks set up in Reaper record enabled. I am getting signal no problem. When I launch the Ninjam control panel I see my tracks but no signal. I am sure this is something stupid I am doing as it used to work perfect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh! Sorry, thought I heard you on.

How far through the "Reaper NINJAM Setup" sticky did you get before hitting problems?

If you're not using Reaper, you'll need to explain in full your set up and what you've tried.

I got all the way through the sticky. Like I said it used yo work fine which is what leads me to believe that it is some setting I changed somewhere along the line.

No problem setting up or recording in Reaper, all works fine. When I arm the tracks in reaper I have plenty of signal, no problem. When I load the ninjam control panel no signal.

No signal at what point in the path?

Does your input meter still track the input source (if you have external level metering)?
Does the Reaper input mixer meter track input?
Does the NINJAM plugin local track meter track the input?
Have you checked the two Mute buttons at the top..? (Been there, done that...)

Um... I'll leave it there for now.

Thanks so much for trying to help me get this worked out. I will try and outline my steps to see if I am missing something.

1. In reaper I set up a track, named it guitar and record enabled the track. I get signal and the vu meter flashes. I can record no problem. Hear playback no problem, all is good.

2. Opened mixer, on the main channel I added the ninjam console to the fx area. When I open the console I see my track named guitar but no vu meter activity. I checked and I have no mutes or solo's marked as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try this (and this is not the only way to make it work either, but it's pretty flexible):

1. Keep your step one as above.

2. create a second track, add the ReaNinjam plugin to this track. Label track accordingly.

3. click the IO button on your guitar track
- uncheck the Master/parent send box
- pull down add new send, choose the ReaNinjam plugin track
- you probably want 0dB center, post fader (which I think is default)

4. Now you should see the meters lighting up on the Ninjam console when you play, even without connecting to a server.

5. If you need more tracks, repeat steps 1 and 3 above.

OK... You've got the list of inserts on the Master channel listed.

Presumably the only one is ReaNINJAM?

It's got a tick next to it?

Can you hear any output (ignoring what's happing inside ReaNINJAM) when you play? (You should be doing all your monitoring from Reaper's master output now.)

If it was ticked and you untick it, does that make any difference?

Yep... I have plenty of output in Reaper, just can't seem to get it to ninjam. The only insert on the master channel is ninjam and there is a check next to it.

The the ninjam control panel the channel selection should be the same as in reaper correct???

OK, remove ReaNINJAM from the Master out and bung some other effect in there -- does that work? (Just checking, still.) I'll assume that's fine.

That pins it down to ReaNINJAM. If Shifter's template doesn't fix it, what would really help is a screen shot. Can you post one up?

Thanks so much you guys for trying to help me out. Here is what I have learned. As soon as I put Ninjam as an FX on the master channel or any channel for that matter I lose out put. Here is a screenshot showing that I have track signal but no output signal with Ninjam.

Here is a shot showing there is master channel volume without Ninjam added to the FX.

Perhaps I am just not meant for online jamming anymore, lol.

Don't give up. Probably it's a very simple thing.
Anyway you can try the standalone version. It's working fine for me.

In ReaNINJAM, next to Xmit, you've got "Stereo 7/8" selected. Have you tried "Stereo 1/2"? (Note that this is the pair from Reaper to NINJAM, not from your soundcard to Reaper.)

Good eye! I did believe that had to be set at whatever the inputs were for that track but I did try all available and nothing.

What else have you got on Local Channels -- that scroll bar looks like there's others. Is it just 1/2, 3/4, 5/6?

Can you try with a fresh project file, set up a track with a single stereo pair input through to your master out -- follow the sticky through to step 5.

Then, before adding ReaNINJAM (step 6), go to {Program Files}\Reaper and get rid of ReaNINJAM.ini (either permanently or temporarily). That'll clear out any saved settings that could be a problem.

Now do Step 6 - insert ReaNINJAM on the Master out.

Any luck?
