Zoom Settings for Music Performance - Update 2021

A 2021 update to my video showing the settings to change in Zoom if you are singing and playing instruments. Useful info for musicians, DJs, and music teachers using Zoom.

HERE IS THE GEAR I USE MOST OF THE TIME. If you're starting up I highly recommend:

You were right on the money on this one … that switch on and off on top of the screen and change the setting made all the difference …thank you

I'm a Zumba Instructor and did an audio test with my friend yesterday and it was like listening to it underwater, it was awful but this has worked an absolute treat and you've saved my bacon! A thousand thanks! I've been doing a little happy dance! :)

You saved the day for our sound healing retreat!!! I knew there had to be a better way to make that zoom sound work. Thank you so much for this simple explanation. It worked like a charm.

Thanks! I shared this with the HowToGeek page today where someone was trying to improve their symphony performance over Zoom.

Hi, Greg. Thanks for your wonderful video, . I do have a question regarding my ukulele. My microphone is a USB desktop model called MU900. I play the ukulele in front of that mike and when I record myself, the voice is clear but the sounds of the ukulele are choppy and unnatural. Is it possible for me to get a more natural sound with the ukulele and Zoom settings? If not, would an interface be an option for improved quality? Thanks for any advice.

An audio interface SCARLET vs. YAMAHA AUDIO MIXER with USP port - what is the difference and which one should we use for live music performance streaming through ZOOM

Great video. But when I try to sing on a karaoke track live there is lag. The track is shared using the 'Share Computer Sound' option and though I am singing on the beat, the listener is seeing a lag. When I recorded the zoom session I notice a huge lag. Any solution for that

[evangelinesarat]
