    Hi and thanks for the clear and knowledgeable instruction. I would add that using headphones (plugged in to the audio interface), is the best way to avoid echo and feedback. I teach online brass instrutrments (= acoustic) as well as using electronic keyboard and theremin (= electronic), using a mixer and audio interface going into my Mac as you have outlined in other videos. I forward your videos to my students - I should add that I'm in Italy (I teach"Music in English") and you are very clear and precise in all of your instruction, so your videos are also accessible by those who speak English as a second language (DAW comes up as "door" in the auto-generated subtitles, ha ha, but otherwise it's perfect, thanks to your clarity). Cheers!

      I think you can position one camera to have a nice long view of you and your piano, but it's good to be able to switch between a 'face to face' instruction view and an overhead camera that shows a good view of your keyboard. There is a good video here that might help you ua-cam.com/video/8sgKhQ15cFM/v-deo.html

  • @AnnBurgess00
    @AnnBurgess00 4 роки тому +3

    Excellent advice, thank you!
    Just one area where I would disagree: I took the advice of several online piano teachers and bought a Blue Yeti mic for my electronic piano. it gives me superb sound so long as it is joined to my Mac with a good quality USB C adapter, is configured to the correct setting (cardioid) and positioned correctly. This took a minimum of trial and error. Of course a cardioid mic has to face the music, but, beyond that, I found it was intimidatingly loud and bassy when stationed on a table at the front of the piano, which made it very difficult to convey dynamics. I have now moved it to a shelf at the treble side of the piano, about a forearm’s length above the keyboard. This never fails to give me a little moment of pleasure at how good it sounds, so much so that I bought my daughter one as well.
    I realise that to connect the output from my piano would probably give a cleaner sound, but this method avoids a lot of clutter by mixing my voice with the sound output from the piano; and it sounds very natural. In a normal piano lesson, my pupils would not be sitting there with headphones on, experiencing a superior recording studio produced sound; they would hear the piano sound coming acoustically and mixing with my voice. In my opinion, the Blue Yeti is more than adequate. I have also saved quite a lot of money by doing it this way.
    Instead, I have spent money on:
    a document camera, positioned to view the piano keys from above;
    a large photography backdrop screen on a stand to keep the rest of my room private (as advised by my school);
    and any money that I can put towards this project from now on will probably go on another camera to show my feet on the pedals
    and some kind of vision mixer to enable me to change cameras really easily instead of using a drop-down menu on Zoom.
    Most kids respond to sight far better than sound these days. I find it cost-effective, therefore, to give them the clearest visual experience I can in order to keep their focus and attention.

    @THUKR Рік тому

    Hi, Thank you very much for this video. IT really has helped me understand some basics of audio setups. As I'm also starting online piano lessons, I have looked into setting up such a zoom compatible setup. In conclusion, if one can have a usb audio interface with sufficient enough inputs or if we use an audio mixer with USB connectivity, we don't need mixer and the usb interface at the same time, do we? For example in my case, I'm looking at a Presonus Studio 24C (this is quite similar to Focusrite 2i2) or Yamaha AG06 mixing console. If I did connect the microphone to one XLR inputs and the piano (L & R line out) to the other input as a mono (using these these splitter cables) it should be better right? Instead of splitter cables and separate line outs from Piano, what if I did connect the headphone out directly to the second mic input of the Presonus, would that work? On the other hand, in the long run, what would be more beneficial, Presonus 24C or Yamaha AG06, specially, if i'd like to record some piano music ? Thank you very much again for the great videos you post. subbed already :)

What would the setup include if I two inputs 1) voice, 2) Tanpura, and also hear other participants? An audio interface uses the Aux/mic input of the computer and that disables the computer speakers. This is forcing me to NOT use an audio interface with multiple inputs. Please advice. Thanks.

  • @kanesmith4961
    @kanesmith4961 4 роки тому +1

    One component I'm missing is effective instrument monitoring AND hearing the Zoom output (i.e. the student) through headphones. I need my electric guitar and the students voice in my headphones, and obviously not my own mic. How would you approach that with this exact mixer+interface setup? I can do a complicated song and dance of software routing, but that introduces significant latency to my self-instrument monitoring no matter what magic driver you use, so now I can't play.

I almost have decided to buy a focusrite scarlett interface, but my point is that I also would like to work with my IPAD ( because better camera than my webcam etc). I have already the lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. Main question is do I need special software on my IPAD or will the IPAD see the audio interface immediately?

  • @max.domante
    @max.domante 2 роки тому

    Hello everyone. What about using a camera such as the LUMIX G7 when teaching via zoom? I use it already for pre recorded tutorials. As a webcam it seems like a huge improvement of the video quality, but would this burn my MacBook Air 2020, consume to much CPU power and be just too much for a normal internet connection? I’d be great to have a full HD lesson… though if the connection freezes an investment such as a cam link “el gato” seem less smart. I’d like to know before buying, if any of your had the experience :) Many thanks for your channel, it has been a game changer for many. Cheers

    I’ve used vertical interfaces but they won’t connect to Protools so it’s very frustrating.

    • @MusicRepo
      @MusicRepo  4 роки тому

      I have a Zoom H4N and although it can record 4 tracks at once, when I connect it as an interface then it is only 2 channel. According to the specs here, it looks like you can use the Zoom H5 as a 4-channel audio interface
      www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/h5-handy-recorder#specs
      However, Zoom will only pick up the first 2 channels (in my experience anyway). So you will have to find some kind of solution to overcome this issue. You'll see I refer to a couple of possible solutions - there are links in the description.

  • @RicardoMartinezSax
    @RicardoMartinezSax 3 роки тому

    Thank you so much for your videos. Do you have any ideas on how to use a two microphone setup for louder acoustic instruments such as brass using one for speaking and the other for playing? I use two microphones, one to move about as I talk and the other to play my instrument into. I'm constantly having to switch back and forth between the two microphones so that I don't clip while I play on the microphone used for speaking. If just using one mic, I have to constantly adjust my input to be heard at the right levels for speaking/playing. My initial thought is to use a limiter on the microphone used for speaking, in my case a lavalier mic, so as not to clip or distort when I play and keep a normal settings on the instrumental microphone.

      I guess the ideal setup would be an instrument mic for the brass instrument, then the lavalier mic for your spoken voice. Each going into a separate mic input on audio interface with gain set appropriately on each one? Maybe a mic like this ... available as an XLR mic or wireless options www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/pro35

    Really helpful video, thank you. Can I ask a question re the microphone. I will sometimes use an acoustic piano and sometimes a digital piano in my online piano lessons. Can I use a blue yeti mic for both of these scenarios rather than plugging my digital piano in directly? Thanks for your help.

    • @MusicRepo
      @MusicRepo  4 роки тому +2

      Yes, don't see why not .... I have seen many online piano teachers just using one condenser microphone and they have got it working really well, so Blue Yeti Mic should be ideal.

    Hi Great videos you have thank you! I am a drum teacher. I was wondering if you have suggestions for mic setups for drum lessons? To save set up time (im currently teaching at a studio where I pay hourly out of what my student will pay me) Im thinking about using one good over head mic to capture all the drums and another mic sm58 or something close to my mouth. Do you think this will give me good enough audio to for a professional lesson or do you think I need to mic all the drums?

    thank you for this video! It's really clear and helpful. I have a question: I am using Zoom to teach/collaborate using Logic X with a student. He has a 2i2 interface (Focusrite) with a mic plugged into that and a USB controller keyboard plugged into the computer. I would like him to be able to share the output from his Logic projects (synths/loops/audio etc.) while being able to talk over the top. At present, it seems I can only hear him speak but there is no sound from Logic. He doesn't have an outboard mixer as you recommend, but I was under the impression that it was possible to route the audio by selecting 'Zoom Audio' in Logic.

    Question: Should I use a USB audio mixer (ex. Behringer Q802USB) instead of a separate mixer and audio interface?
    Background: I'm a dance instructor planning for Zoom classes, and I will likely use a wireless mic for teaching, an ipad for music and a small speaker so I can hear (monitor) and coordinate with the music. Any other gear recommendations are welcome.
    I hope you and your loved ones are well during these difficult times. Thanks for the informative video, and thanks in advance for your response.

      Thank you for your good wishes. I also hope you and your family are staying safe and well. If you are just buying kit for this one purpose, then the USB mixer should be fine. It will be one less component to set up, and it will be a more cost effective option. I am shortly going to upload a video demonstrating how to fit the kit together. ie what cables. I don't have a USB mixer, I am using a mixer and interface, but the principles will be exactly the same with the Behringer. You just won't need the additional cables and interface.

    Do you know if it is possible to use the built-in microphone and a digital piano at the same time on a zoom call, rather than having to invest in a microphone, mic stand, leads and an interface/mini mixer? I am trying to keep my setup as simple and clean as possible for video calls and using the internal mic and a digital piano plugged into my laptop just seems to make so much sense, but I can't seem to work out how to make it happen.

    I've been teaching via zoom for a few months but I'm damned if I can work out how you bring up (at 9.19 in the video) something you call a 'zoom client' screen. When I use it I press invite and then before the pupil joins me all I get is the screen where I see myself (the one with 'security', 'participants', 'chat', 'share screen', 'record', 'reactions' at the bottom). Could you explain how you do this. I may then be able to use my external mic. Thank you.

    Hi and thanks for all the helpful info. I have a question: I've been teaching drums online via Zoom since being in lockdown. Often I find that as soon as there is a certain amount of noise/audio information coming from a given student, there is a limiting that causes the audio to diminish to almost nothing. With one particular student we had a lot of problems with his Internet connection but that has since been upgraded. Now we can talk without any 'freezing' but at our last lesson we did have the audio limiting cut in once he began to play. We're not talking a lot of noise here, it was happening even when he played on a practice pad. He then switched from using his laptop to connect to me via Zoom to using his phone and suddenly there's no problem! So it would seem to be some kind of limiting on the computer. Have you seen this happening and do you have any solution? Many thanks.

    • @MusicRepo
      @MusicRepo  4 роки тому +1

      I do know that you must adjust the settings in Zoom, and so should your student. Otherwise you will get the audio chopping in and out. You can now do this on a mobile device. I wonder if your student has somehow managed to switch the settings without knowing ... anyway, here is a video explaining how you do that - I have linked to the bit for mobile settings. ua-cam.com/video/WoXM5wcpVNU/v-deo.html
