Introduction To Wasabi Client For Mac

ExpanDrive has fantastic support for the Amazon S3 API, letting you connect directly to AWS or any number of S3-compatible storage services like Dream Objects, Digital Ocean Spaces or Wasabi. On S3 your files and folders are stored inside top-level folders called buckets that are uniquely named throughout all of S3. You and a friend cannot both have a bucket named “documents”.

Configuring ExpanDrive for Amazon S3 storage

Wasabi relies on a separate backend server to manage user accounts, data and analysis results, perform analyses, and provide task progress notifications to the client. The Wasabi server backend is written in Python and supports Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Wasabi there are no confusing storage tiers to decipher and no complicated fee structures to decode. One product, with predictable and straightforward pricing, supports virtually every cloud storage application. The Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage Client for Windows & Mac is available free of charge for Wasabi hot cloud storage customers. Wasabi is fundamentally transforming cloud storage with the industry’s simplest, fastest and most affordable storage solution. Unlike legacy cloud storage services with confusing storage tiers and complex pricing schemes, Wasabi storage is inherently easy.

1. From the ExpanDrive window, click on large plus button to create a new Drive
2. Click on Amazon S3 – you’ll now be able to enter your S3 credentials or optionally modify the server or remote path.
3. Configure the fields as described in the table below.

Parameter	Description
Server	Modify this value only if you want to connect to an S3-compatible service like Wasabi or Digital Ocean. Otherwise the default value of https://s3.amazonaws.com will be used
Access Key ID	Your S3 access key ID or username from an S3-compatible service. Note: It is highly recommended to use the access key ID of an Amazon IAM User rather than your AWS root account access keys.
Secret Access Key	The secret key component used to sign requests to S3.
Nickname	Optional nickname to identify the connection, this will show up as the volume label on the mounted drive.
Remote path	Bucket that you would like to access on Amazon S3. Every object stored in Amazon S3 is contained in a bucket. Buckets partition the namespace of objects stored in Amazon S3 at the top level. For example, to connect ExpanDrive a bucket named “expandrive9” set “expandrive9” in the remote path

Click on Save.
Click on Connect.

ExpanDrive connects to the service and Finder or Explorer will open showing you the contents of your account or the bucket you specified.

What is NINJAM?

NINJAM is open source (GPL) software to allow people to make real music together via the Internet. Every participant can hear every other participant.Each user can also tweak their personal mix to his or her liking.NINJAM is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. REAPER (our digital audio workstation software for Windows and OS X) also includes NINJAM support (ReaNINJAM plug-in).

NINJAM uses compressed audio which allows it to work with any instrument or combination of instruments. You can sing, play a real piano, play a real saxophone, play a real guitar with whatever effects and guitar amplifier you want, anything. If your computer can record it, then you can jam with it (as opposed to MIDI-only systems that automatically preclude any kind of natural audio collaboration¹).

Since the inherent latency of the Internet prevents true realtime synchronizationof the jam², and playing with latency is weird (and often uncomfortable),NINJAM provides a solution by making latency (and the weirdness) much longer.

Latency in NINJAM is measured in measures, and that'swhat makes it interesting.

The NINJAM client records and streams synchronized intervals of musicbetween participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins playing on everyone else's client.So when you play through an interval, you're playingalong with theprevious interval of everybody else, and they're playing along with yourprevious interval. If this sounds pretty bizarre, it sort of is, until youget used to it, then it becomes pretty natural. In many ways, it can be more forgiving than a normal jam, because mistakes propagate differently.

Part tool, part toy, NINJAM is designed with an emphasis on musical experimentation and expression.

How does NINJAM work?

NINJAM uses OGG Vorbis audio compression to compress audio, then streams it to a NINJAMserver, which can then stream it to the other people in your jam. This architecture requiresa server with adequate bandwidth, but has no firewall or NAT issues. OGG Vorbis is utilized for its great low bitrate characteristics and performance. Each user receives a copy of other users audio streams, allowing for each user to adjust the mix to their liking, as well as remix later. This uses more bandwidth than having a server encode a single stream, but has numerous benefits (including lower server CPU use and the client having the full multichannel data for later use).

NINJAM can also save all of the original uncompressed source material, for doing full quality remixes afterthe jam.
(1): While MIDI has many wonderful uses, it also has substantial limitations when working with real instruments.
(2): Limitations of note: sound hardware latency (>5ms), perceptual CODEC latency (>20ms), plus typical and theoretical network latency (>40ms).

Preferred client - REAPER:

Introduction to wasabi client for mac os

REAPER is a Digital Audio Workstation for Windows, OS X and Linux that also provides native NINJAM support via the 'ReaNINJAM' plug-in, and allows you to use VST/VSTis/ReWire/MIDI hardware/etc with NINJAM. REAPER also can import NINJAM sessions directly for remixing/editing.
NINJAM Server:
The main requirement for running the server is outbound bandwidth. For example, a 4 person jam needs approximately 768kbps of outbound (and only 240kbps inbound) bandwidth, and a 8 person jam requires approximately 3mbps of outbound (and 600kbps inbound) bandwidth.
