## What it is
JackTrip is a multi-machine audio system for network music performance over the Internet, streaming bidirectional, high-quality uncompressed audio between machines. It includes a Virtual Studio feature for online jamming, rehearsals, and live broadcasting with real-time audio effects.

## Use cases
- play music live with remote musicians over the internet
- stream uncompressed low-latency audio between computers
- host a virtual studio for band rehearsals online
- broadcast live jam sessions
- connect machines on different operating systems for audio collaboration

## When to choose
- you need low-latency, uncompressed, multi-channel audio streaming between machines
- you want to perform or rehearse music remotely with others
- you need cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD)

## When to avoid
- you only need compressed audio streaming or casual listening
- your network connection cannot sustain low-latency uncompressed audio
- you need a general-purpose audio editor or DAW
