> I have increased my latency tolerance to about 100ms now.

Every musical instrumented (voice too) has a latency. The practiced musician is trained on the latency of themselves and their instrument and will initiate a musical note at the right time. That might even be a few seconds in advance.

Part of learning an instrument is learning its latency. Jamulus adds a bit on top of that. That requires some getting used to. A good tip is to listen to your sound over the internet. So wear insulating headphones that keep out your real-time sound.

I'd say that listening to your own instrument with latency does not work at all. Making good tone/timbre/pitch etc all depend on a very short feedback loop between hands/ears/brain.

edit: replace hands with whatever is needed to produce the sound: vocal chords, mouth, feet, arm, ...

Listening to your own instrument with latency is what makes it actually work and is essential for online jamming.
