Do you have any tips for getting high-quality audio from your Zoom recordings?

Very informative! Ive been using zoom to record podcasts for the past 3 years and I still found this helpful! Thank you

[janmflynn]

This is SUPER helpful — thank you so much!

[TheMentalHealthToolbox]

Yay! Thank you 🙏 I have been using zoom for my video podcast as it has a lot of great features for the price and intigrates easily with calendly for scheduling podcast interviews with a simple link. I have only been bummed by the compressed audio since I have a professional audio setup. Now that I know I can change setting to record Orion al audio, I will stick with Zoom 😁

I have the paid version of zoom and whilst I can select the low option for suppressing background noise, the music and professional audio settings are not listed. Has there been a zoom update? What do I do now? My main issue when podcasting is that when one person talks, any 'talking over' eachother or grunts of agreement from the second speaker cut out the main talker or just get muted automatically and I don't know how to stop it.

Suppose Zoom does not recognise your Samson Q2U during the recording!!! Any tips?

[fairynerdy]

I recently recorded an episode of my podcast on Zoom and the tracks sound great. But when I bring them into Garageband to edit, they sound like the Chipmunks on helium. I've done everything I know to troubleshoot but I can't figure out the problem. Do you have any suggestions?

[ASHAGCCT]

Isn’t it unlimited time for « One on One «  interviews ?? Thanks 😊

[poppyteezworld]

I just recorded my first episode using zoom. I noticed the rate is 32, 000 on the recorded zoom audio but I read that optimum is 44, 000. How will this effect my podcast?

[tatianarobertson]

I'm using zoom on my computer and when I go to settings it doesn't have these options. I don't have the icons either just: security, schedule meeting, in meeting (basic), in meeting (advanced), email notification, and other. Is there another area to access these settings? Feeling confused...

[dahliak]

I used this advice today and it was the worst recording I've ever had on zoom. So much fizzing/buzzing audio.

[DonnSinatra]

This women is gorgeous 😅 I wasn’t paying attention at all gotta rewind it
