This was very helpful! Thank you for sharing

Thank you! I've been scouring the internet looking for the exact information you provided! The MOST helpful information was using a pencil condenser mic for a full room sound during a sound bath on zoom! Thank

Thanks for the tips. I have an audio interface device (that does require its own power and software installed), and was aware of the original sound for musicians setting, but wouldn't have thought it would work better with just noise reduction to low if using the audio interface. I also have a Yeti multipurpose microphone that plugs directly into the USB of the computer - I wonder if the 'original sound for musicians' would still be the way to go for that one(?) I haven't done much musical Zooming, but have started facilitating sound baths with crystal bowls, gongs, rainsticks, steel tongue drum, didgeridoo, ocean drum, and could conceivably see doing something in Zoom, which would require a high quality audio for sure. Thanks! :)

Thanks so much for this. I’m new at the Handpan and just been recording with my Samsung S23U Phone and sometimes with iPad Pro

Thank you for this interesting and helpful information 🙏. Can you explain what is the difference between the 3rd Gen and 4th Gen for the Focusrite Scarlet? And when using your voice together with instruments, would you advise two mics or would one be sufficient?

Haha I gave up on zoom because I was using the musician audio and it sucked!! Maybe I'll try again with just low

what if you want to add reverb to the voice
