I’m such a newbie with all things sound and audio despite being a pianist for the past 27 yrs... COVID has made it necessary to have professional home studio recording capabilities and to be able to use technology to teach lessons and Zoom church!! Music Repo has been my GO TO for all help and I’d be lost without these tutorials! Thank you so much!
Absolutely brilliant, have been trying to sort this problem of playing my guitar over Zoom sounding like its out of phase/ slightly distorted for quite a while without any success, until by chance I found your video. Have spoken to various people who use Zoom, looked at various videos and also asked for an answer on a couple of websites and no one has come up with an answer. So a big thank you, as just tried it with your settings to my friend over Zoom and all nice and clear sounding, including my singing along at the same time! Many thanks again and must say your videos are some of the best out there, well presented and so easy to understand. Keep them going.
You ROCK! You saved my Zoom life thanks so much. It was awesome to talk with audio and sound merchandisers, and sound like I knew what I was talking about and wanted. Thanks again.
Yep. I found the stereo setting kept disappearing, then realised I needed to be properly signed into Zoom to see the option. Broadcasting stereo is a can of worms: the only way I could get stereo (from my keyboard for example) is to use an app like Loopback to manage audio. Some systems like Skype take the first mono input from the interface, and ignore anything else!
This is the first tutorial on Zoom that I actually understood, thank you for your clarity. (From a nervous piano teacher about to undertake online lessons.)
Thank you for a thorough easy to understand video on audio for Zoom. I watched 3 other videos and when I watched yours it was a victory!!! Glory to God!!!! Hallelujah I got sound coming from my piano keyboard, microphone and my M-Audio interface going into my laptop computer. Wow it only took me all day to get an understanding of how to use the Zoom meeting app. Thank you and may Jesus Christ pour out many blessings in your life!!! Amen!!!
Another enhancement is to check "Enable Stereo" which is found at the bottom of the audio tab within the settings menu. However, you have to enable this feature within your account on the Zoom website for it to show-up as an option to select within the settings of the desk top application. Not sure why they hide it like this and make it so difficult!
@@ericcipres4327 No - unfortunately I haven't figured that out yet personally but I did find these videos helpful. Maybe they will work for you? ua-cam.com/video/MOP-HYIZLi0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/dMu3C3cpVLg/v-deo.html
I agree with everything you say here. One other item which applies solely to the host of the meeting is in the Settings section of the host's online account. Log in to the account, go to Settings and look for 'Allow users to select original sound in their client settings' (this used to be 'Show in-meeting option to Enable Original Sound from microphone' but they've just recently changed the descriptive text, presumably for clarity). This must be set on.
I wish I had seen this a few months ago. It's the easiest video to follow yet and it will likely improve the quality of our online Zoom music lessons. We are going to continue them through the month of September because parents are worried about the covid impact of their children returning to school. They don't want to add to their contact bubble yet with extra curricular contacts. It may well be a covid year of online instruction. Thank you so much!!
Thank you, June, and you have my likes and support. We are in the planning stages of doing a concert online in honour of my friend who passed away much too early. He had many friends and he is unique. You may notice that I always keep him in the present tense because to me, he is here. He is a singer and he is missed by everyone. When the concert is done, I will share it with you and others. Your technical prowess is what I needed. In the past, I did a lot of mixing in the analog era, so I am now back researching what I need to do this right; mixing boards, equalizers, streaming, and editing software, the proper mics to get the best sound, etc. So I will be following you and encouraging many others to do the same. It's been a long time since I got back to my very first and enduing love - music. I'm at a stage of rediscovery, and if COVID19 did anything, it made me re-evaluate my life, and implant that life is indeed short, that being too busy to enjoy life is an excuse, and it truly is love and passion that bring others real joy and true meaning. I don't often write on posts, yet the urge was there to do this. Thank you for your professionalism and knowledge which I am certain has inspired many others. Thank you again. I just began following you on Facebook and Twitter as well. :)
OMG I wish I saw this 2 weeks ago!! I ran on a lot of trouble shooting with different conference software and ways to stream video content that needed to have EXCELLENT audio quality. Great video!!
This is a very thorough video that I used to set up my Zoom client for Zoom meetings with a guitar jam group. I still had some issues with my mic audio as other Zoom meeting attendees heard it. There was a persistent crackle in the background much like the sound of crinkling cellopane. Following Focusrite's Tech support, I set the Sample Rate to 48 KHZ and the Buffer Size to 192 KHZ which got rid of the background noise. I just wanted to mention this in case someone else is using a Focusrite Scarlett like "Music Repo" is using in this video. (I'm usinging the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd generation.)
Thanks a million. This video has worked wonders for me. I was struggling to get a good drum sound on Zoom and it was getting frustrating. I followed the instructions on this video and changed the settings on Zoom and the drums sound as natural as can be. It has really made it easy to conduct my classes online. Thank you once again.
This video is awesome! I am a new online music teacher using zoom too, and you're right, there's a lot of settings I didn't know yet, I'll keep in touch with you for updates. Keep safe!
For. Fitness class you can also use “share” to play a music playlist that you and your classmates can all hear and work-out to - I think this is on pc version only “share” then “advanced” and click on “share music from this device” (going from memory here; something along these lines)
Many thanks for that! And yes, that is ideal if the music is ambient. However, if you want to sync movement to the music and your instruction then it doesn't work so well due to latency. You might also like this video for more info on how to sync music and movement in Zoom ua-cam.com/video/uM22_Jw2hqI/v-deo.html
Thank you for this very clear presentation. I have been looking everywhere to find out the best way my school can offer Performing Arts classes via Zoom. I can’t tell you how helpful this is.
As I understand it, Zoom has problems with lag. That means that it might be difficult to use Zoom to get a bunch of remote singers/performers on the beat all at the same time. I've heard that JamKazam handles lag better. But I'm still learning.
Thank you so much! You just saved my dance classes! Tried your tips and the sounds comes out amazing! Wish I had seen this video before, but better now than never! Thank you!
You could also turn on stereo sound on the website. Sign in to the Zoom web portal. Click My Meeting Settings (if you are an account administrator) or Settings (if you are an account member). In the meeting tab. navigate to Allow users to select stereo audio in their client settings and verify that the setting is enabled. If the setting is disabled, click the status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, click Turn On to verify the change. Note: If the option is grayed out, it has been locked at either the group or account level, and you will need to contact your Zoom administrator. In the Zoom client, click your profile picture then click Settings. Click the Audio tab. Check the Enable Stereo audio option.
Thanks! Helpful tip. You'd have to be careful if you had an interface with, say, guitar going into one input, mic into the other, the student would hear voice in one ear, guitar in the other ... so it will depend on what you are broadcasting, and how you want it to sound to the recipient.
Wow, you have come quite far. I remember the last time we corrosponded in 2015 when you were just begining and I had bought a blue snowball. Good for you. Keep up the quality content. Side note - I watched your video the 1st time since then.
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. This is one of the most informative videos on a technical subject I have seen in a long time. Our band is getting antsy as we have not been able to jam or play together for some time now. We have bantered around the idea of having a Zoom jam, but keep coming up with "what ifs' and other possible problems before we even try. Haven't tried your steps yet as I've just watched the video, but if the accuracy of your instructions are up to the same quality as your presentation, I'm confident that we have the answer we were looking for. I'll report back after we give it a good go. Thanks again.
Thank you very much. The settings on your video update did the trick! My use is to zoom Dance/ballet exams to an examiner/s, sometimes on the other side of the planet. As you can imagine the music accompaniment must be just about perfect. I found the use of a mixer still makes it easier as well as having the music operated and played from a separate laptop or source. I tested with a technical person on the other side (+/- 20,000km away) , the time delay between music and voice (not latency), using a metronome with flashing light and could not see any delay. However, as you 've mentioned, the quality of the internet service/wifi is important and can be the killer. Resulting in frame dropping which becomes another problem. Luckily the video/sound sync stays aligned. Thank you again.
Nicely put! I teach live looping, among other things, and I've worked out a way to run the audio from Zoom through my mixer so I can loop audio from participants and it doesn't feedback, weirdly. Of course, there's transmission lag and latency involved, so you have to adjust for that.
@@MusicRepo It's actually a little weird that it works. I'm using a Zoom H5 as my interface. I run the line out of the H5 into a channel of my mixer and I have my vocal mic running into another channel. I have the right output of the mixer going to my looper and run that back into an aux channel of the mixer, which is panned left. The left output of the mixer goes to an input of the H5. This means that by panning right or left on the mixer input channels, I can choose whether they're looped or not. The level of the aux channel is set carefully so it's in parity with the non-looped path. This set up took me a while to come up with. But it works! And doesn't feedback, even though one might think it should. And the person on the other end of the call doesn't hear an echo of themselves. It does help to pan off looping for anything that you aren't looping at any moment.
Thank you !! Although I managed to struggle through getting the settings sorted out on Zoom myself last week to teach my students I have to say that, I can across your video and after watching it I had to say, It is so well made, very clear concise and to the point. I will definitely be sharing it. Thank you again and keep up the great work.
You've given me another option to try after watching your video. Last night I tried my first Zoom /OBS lesson and the sound was very quiet and glitchy to my student. I also tried facetime on the Mac and that did the same thing. However, my iPhone worked. Thank You!
Oops. Everything sounded great in rehearsal but the crackling came back when I had 50 people in the room. Back to the drawing board. I need to find the right input/output on my Focusrite. I'm using a loopback through the SPDIF to get PC sound to send. My mic, on input 6 (returning from a mic processor), outputs through the SPDIF as well. The trouble is when I turn off the Zoom speaker setting, I don't hear PC audio or participants. Once I solve that I think I'll be golden. I have a Scarlett 18i20, btw. Thanks in advance if you choose to assist.
Excellent tips...online teleconferencing tech is so highly optimized for the speaking human voice (like cellular tech), this is great info. My students and I thank you!
Hi I'm Steven Harris, and I just watched your video in whiched I was very inspired! I am a profession collaborative musician who is wanting to get back into playing together live by using Zoom! Now I work as a piano accompanist/coach and other collaborative playing work in and on the outside of tbe schools. But since the pandemic, I have not been able to do any live group performing. For my university jobs I've been recording my accompaniments with music notation software and converting them from midi to an audio file then sending them off to my students for their performances and lessons with their professors! So that is all I have been doing since! But I want to start having access to live music networking, but don't have all the right equipment! Although I have the free version installed on my ipad, but I need that to use Forscore ( an app for digital sheet music stand). I also have it installed on my Samsung Galaxy phone, but that just isn't good enough! I would want to know specifically what all equiptment I must get and what all to avoid getting as far as what you recommend such as, app version, microphone, interface, computer, computer operating system, etc! My gmail: Normanjazz5@gmail.com
Zoom is not the right platform for live collaborative work. Here are a few links that might help: Here is a good starting point: Looks at whether online band practice is possible, and some of the gear you need (affiliate link to Sweetwater) imp.i114863.net/live-jam And here are some links to Live Jamming Platforms.

Greetings! I have a question - very much hope you can answer. I have an interface, works great. I just bought a new Yamaha Mixer MG10XUF - which has a USB connection. Is there an advantage to this chain (Yamaha->Intefrace->Computer) over this one (Yamaha->Computer)? Of course for recording I'd use an interface, but should I use it for ZOOM? Thank you!
Hi, I'd compare the specs of the interface Vs mixer you may get higher quality taking balanced line out of mixer into interface balanced line ins... Just try it all out. Using the mixer alone will be simpler, especially with Zoom etc. I don't think there's a right answer here, you want to get a setup that works well for you.
@@MusicRepo Thnk you! Yesterday for a zoom chat I did use mixer alone. The newer Yamaha mixers have a nice usb connection so one can feed audio out and get audio in on different tracks. I was able to get 2 tracks out and hear everyone as well. 😀
This is great content! I’m a musician & have been thinking of offering some online classes soon. My band mate is a fitness instructor, so this is right up our alley 😊
Thanks so much for this post! It has been most life saving. I teach online movement classes for kids and my Audio Settings page in Zoom is a little different from yours. There is only an echo cancellation option in the advanced tap. Everything else is on the main audio tab. I’ll go over my settings in detail in case I should change anything: SPEAKER Audio Codec MICROPHONE Audio Codec Unchecked “Automatically adjust microphone volume” SUPPRESS BACKGROUND NOISE Chose “Low” (faint background sound). Or should I leave it in Auto? MUSIC AND PROFESSIONAL AUDIO Checked “Show in-meeting option to turn on original sound from microphone” Checked “High-fidelity music mode” Checked “Stereo Audio” I use a PYLE USB audio mixer and a Sokani Tiny wireless mic. I use a new MacBook Pro for Zoom and Spotify and an old Bose Mini Sound Link speakers. Everything works well except I can’t hear my students while I teach. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for looking into this with me!
Thanks for sharing. Appreciated very much. What an amazing job you've done! To be honest with you, I'm not English educated and limited in some English vocabulary and usage, yet I could understand 98% of your explanation without even needed to look it up on a dictionary. Your demostration and explanation is simple and easy enough to understand and follow. I like the way you communicate, no unnecessary, extra content or long winded sharing without much help at all. Everything is solely focused on vital and practical understanding with very useful instructions and demonstrations. Awecome teaching and communication skills. Keep up the good work. God bless and take care:)
This is incredibly helpful! I had to figure out most of this by trial and error, but your video STILL had additional tips that changed audio quality for me and my students. Thank you!
Another technique is to have a DAW open, arm a track with the input from your USB interface and set it to echo input, then in Zoom use Share Screen, Advanced Share, Share Computer Sound only. This bypasses the Zoom compression techniques while allowing your microphone to have the sometimes helpful noise suppression and other filters.

Hi John, do you know a way where I can reproduce music from my DAW and the other person on zoom can get the stereo image and the best possible sound ?
Because it significantly increases CPU load on the participant device.

Enable Stereo sounds to me like it might increase processing by Zoom. Wouldn't 1 channel be simpler than 2 channels?
@@donlibes Also takes more bandwidth capacity which might be optimal of people have lower speed links

You've given me another option to try after watching your video. Last night I tried my first Zoom /OBS lesson and the sound was very quiet and glitchy to my student. I also tried facetime on the Mac and that did the same thing. However, my iPhone worked. Thank You!
Thank you so much for this video. Nobody at Zoom could help me with this. They should pay you! I'm so excited to hold my next Zoom meeting.
You're very welcome! Glad to assist
Oops. Everything sounded great in rehearsal but the crackling came back when I had 50 people in the room. Back to the drawing board. I need to find the right input/output on my Focusrite. I'm using a loopback through the SPDIF to get PC sound to send. My mic, on input 6 (returning from a mic processor), outputs through the SPDIF as well. The trouble is when I turn off the Zoom speaker setting, I don't hear PC audio or participants. Once I solve that I think I'll be golden. I have a Scarlett 18i20, btw. Thanks in advance if you choose to assist.
Very helpful. Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Excellent tips...online teleconferencing tech is so highly optimized for the speaking human voice (like cellular tech), this is great info. My students and I thank you!
Very true! Thank you
Excellent tips! I've forwarded this to music teaching colleagues.
Thanks for sharing!
music and fitness! how cool are these two passions combined? :)
Good question!
Game changer... Excellent video and thanks for sharing.
Helpful reminder - thank you :)
Oh brilliant I didn't even know this existed!!! Wooho!
What an amazing video it is! Please create more music lessons and we could provide Gooseneck stands,ect.amzn.to/31akSuO
This is a very helpful, thorough and straight-forward video - love it!
Oh, how great! So professional video! Many thanks!
awesome, i am doing a ZOOM piano concert and this is so helpful, thank you so much for sharing, blessings and cheers !
Thanks so much for this video!
OMG thank you so much. I've been wondering how to do this for ages. cheers
Hi I'm Steven Harris, and I just watched your video in whiched I was very inspired! I am a profession collaborative musician who is wanting to get back into playing together live by using Zoom! Now I work as a piano accompanist/coach and other collaborative playing work in and on the outside of tbe schools. But since the pandemic, I have not been able to do any live group performing. For my university jobs I've been recording my accompaniments with music notation software and converting them from midi to an audio file then sending them off to my students for their performances and lessons with their professors! So that is all I have been doing since!
But I want to start having access to live music networking, but don't have all the right equipment! Although I have the free version installed on my ipad, but I need that to use Forscore ( an app for digital sheet music stand). I also have it installed on my Samsung Galaxy phone, but that just isn't good enough!
I would want to know specifically what all equiptment I must get and what all to avoid getting as far as what you recommend such as, app version, microphone, interface, computer, computer operating system, etc!

Zoom is not the right platform for live collaborative work. Here are a few links that might help:
Here is a good starting point: Looks at whether online band practice is possible, and some of the gear you need (affiliate link to Sweetwater)

Excellent review of tips for audio, thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Greetings! I have a question - very much hope you can answer. I have an interface, works great. I just bought a new Yamaha Mixer MG10XUF - which has a USB connection. Is there an advantage to this chain (Yamaha->Intefrace->Computer) over this one (Yamaha->Computer)? Of course for recording I'd use an interface, but should I use it for ZOOM? Thank you!
Hi, I'd compare the specs of the interface Vs mixer you may get higher quality taking balanced line out of mixer into interface balanced line ins... Just try it all out. Using the mixer alone will be simpler, especially with Zoom etc. I don't think there's a right answer here, you want to get a setup that works well for you.
@@MusicRepo Thnk you! Yesterday for a zoom chat I did use mixer alone. The newer Yamaha mixers have a nice usb connection so one can feed audio out and get audio in on different tracks. I was able to get 2 tracks out and hear everyone as well. 😀
Thank you so much! this was the easiest and practical video to sort out my audio settings!
Great thanks - really useful😊
Great Video. All important aspects covered and we'll explained. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You did a fantastic job!
This is great content! I’m a musician & have been thinking of offering some online classes soon. My band mate is a fitness instructor, so this is right up our alley 😊
Go for it!
Thanks so much for this post! It has been most life saving. I teach online movement classes for kids and my Audio Settings page in Zoom is a little different from yours. There is only an echo cancellation option in the advanced tap. Everything else is on the main audio tab. I’ll go over my settings in detail in case I should change anything:
SPEAKER
Audio Codec
MICROPHONE
Audio Codec
Unchecked “Automatically adjust microphone volume”
SUPPRESS BACKGROUND NOISE
Chose “Low” (faint background sound). Or should I leave it in Auto?
MUSIC AND PROFESSIONAL AUDIO
Checked “Show in-meeting option to turn on original sound from microphone”
Checked “High-fidelity music mode”
Checked “Stereo Audio”
I use a PYLE USB audio mixer and a Sokani Tiny wireless mic. I use a new MacBook Pro for Zoom and Spotify and an old Bose Mini Sound Link speakers. Everything works well except I can’t hear my students while I teach. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for looking into this with me!
Excelente dama ! Muchas gracias
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! SOOO HELPFUL!!!!
Great video,you're a good instructor. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Appreciated very much. What an amazing job you've done! To be honest with you, I'm not English educated and limited in some English vocabulary and usage, yet I could understand 98% of your explanation without even needed to look it up on a dictionary. Your demostration and explanation is simple and easy enough to understand and follow. I like the way you communicate, no unnecessary, extra content or long winded sharing without much help at all. Everything is solely focused on vital and practical understanding with very useful instructions and demonstrations. Awecome teaching and communication skills. Keep up the good work. God bless and take care:)
This is fantastic!!! We are going to try these updates this coming sunday.
This is fantastic. Thank you!
Excellent. Thank you! So clear.
I've stumbled across this at the perfect time! Thank you 😁
Great job!!
This is incredibly helpful! I had to figure out most of this by trial and error, but your video STILL had additional tips that changed audio quality for me and my students. Thank you!
Mil millones de gracias! Saludos desde la Patagonia Argentina.
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks so much! I'm using Zoom to livestream for my church, this video had everything I needed to know!
Another technique is to have a DAW open, arm a track with the input from your USB interface and set it to echo input, then in Zoom use Share Screen, Advanced Share, Share Computer Sound only. This bypasses the Zoom compression techniques while allowing your microphone to have the sometimes helpful noise suppression and other filters.
Lovely video! Thank you!
This was brilliant - thank you! :)
Thank you very much , it was very helpful and made my sound very careful. Thank you keep doing the good work :)
Very informative. Great job!
Fantastic video - thank you very much!
Thank you very much. This has been one of the most helpful tutorials especially for someone who isn’t tech savvy...thank you
