New In-Session Metronome Feature Enhances Real-Time Jam Sessions for Musicians
Lutefish has officially launched the Lutefish™ Stream, a groundbreaking device designed to solve the age-old challenge of online music collaboration. Created by musicians, for musicians, the Lutefish Stream combines ultra-low-latency 48K audio hardware with an intuitive online platform, making it easier than ever to rehearse, jam, and create music together across distances (up to 500 miles apart).
This week, Lutefish introduces a powerful new feature: the In-Session Metronome, allowing users to stay perfectly in time while jamming remotely. With customizable tempo, volume, and sound options, the new metronome ensures each session flows with seamless rhythm–without interfering with other participants or recordings.
“Rhythm is critical when you’re making music,” said Patrick Finn, business manager at Lutefish. “With the Stream, and now the in-session metronome, we’re giving musicians tools that make online collaboration not just possible, but musical, connected, and fun.”
About the Lutefish Stream
The Lutefish Stream is a plug-and-play device that connects directly to your router, enabling real-time audio streaming with latency low enough to play live online—so natural it feels like you’re in the same room. Unlike other collaboration tools, the Stream bypasses wireless connections and complex software setups by connecting directly via Ethernet. It delivers pristine sound and supports microphones, instruments or audio mixers.
With latency up to 30-35ms or less, musicians can jam, rehearse, or write together online without missing a beat.
About the In-Session Metronome
Inspired by the real-world use of metronomes in both live and recording
environments—typically by a drummer or rhythm player—the Lutefish session
Metronome preserves the organic flow of group playing while offering digital precision.
Features include:
* Private Playback: Only the user who activates it can hear it
* Sound Options: Choose from click, wood block, or cowbell
* Flexible Tempo: Adjustable from 30 to 252 BPM
* On-the-Fly Activation: Toggle it on or off anytime during a session
