How to Optimize Sound for Audio Performance
now we have our microphones picked out for what we need to do. Let's talk about how to maximize those advanced settings in audio within zoom, let's take a look. We're in our desktop app again like before go to your avatar. The second option is settings. When the settings panel opens, we're going to hit audio and right here below our test area, you'll see some pretty cool advanced options. Let's go through them together. Number one based on where you are 90% of the time. Zoom does a great job of auto suppressing background noise. But if you're on a meeting and you realize you can still hear things like the air conditioner or a fan, you can opt to change those settings manually by simply clicking low medium or high. They have a nice description of what level of suppression each will give you and just try start a meeting with no one on it but yourself and just change the settings and see what you like when you hear it. And next you want to take up another notch. So down at the bottom let'...
s follow myself to the bottom here under the advanced tab. We have an option for echo, cancel ization. So if you're getting a little bit of feedback or you hear echo in the line, you can activate that as well. But then you say to me, you know, I've had this is great everyday meetings. I got it. I can suppress the audio of the noise but I'm a musician or performance is important to me. Can you help me there? And yes we can at zoom. We created a new feature called, enable original sound. Let's jump into it together. So right here in the same menu, you'll see music and professional audio as a heading. What we've done is we've worked with many professional musicians and schools and allowed see what zoom does is it tries to equalize everybody's audio across the board because typically we're in a conversation when we had to go home to a remote environment, a lot of musicians, a lot of educators. So we came up with a mode that is called original sound. What that does essentially is when you click on original sound, which we'll do in a second, it takes everything that zoom does audio wise and drops it, which then allows an original feed to come through. So, let's check it out here. If I click on music and professional audio, you'll see. I have some options. Number one is, echo cancelation is automatically checked. The second one is I can go into stereo mode, which means I can actually present audio files on a zoom call in stereo. Really great for collaborating on tracks if we're doing music lessons or performing a concert and lastly high fidelity music mode is the key here. Once I click on this, if I jump to our meeting, which is right here, you'll see right in the top corner. If I move my settings over original sound off during a meeting to do this and to activate original sound, you simply toggle it right here. So let's take a look at that. One of my colleagues, dr Lance Ford is gonna show us how to do that live in a meeting. He just happens to be a music teacher by day. So Lance take it away. Hey, everybody dr ford here with the little Macbook in the music room, I got my Yamaha Klaven over here and we're gonna look at the difference between original audio off and on off by default. Again, no special microphone. Just the microphone built into the Mac and Klavan Ova. Here we go, try mike. Now, we're gonna turn it back on original audio. Here we go. We now have original audio turned on and exact same passage. Nothing else changed. Just going from off to on, let's give it a whirl boring. There you go. So as you can see with the click of a few buttons, you have a full maximum range of audio capabilities right inside of you.
