Thank you so much! Your explanation is so straightforward and easy to understand for those of us outside the audio industry! Also I love that you just get to the point :) Thank you again!
Great video. Very clearly explained so everyone can understand. Lots of calmness and demystifying video. Only a woman could have explained it this clearly and calmly. Thank you. 🙏
This is the second video of yours that I have watched today. I have been researching equipment ALL DAY and getting very confused with all of the options. I wish I had watched this sooner. You cleared it all up for me. I'll be watching the audio interface video next. I am SO happy to have found you! Thank you!
This was so great I have been teaching for 25 years and have all the equipment to go from studio to home which I have been reluctant to doing. Thank you
Fantastic video and brilliant resource on this subject. Super straight forward and clear explanation. I'm starting out for the first time online and I'm so conscious about getting the audio right firstly. I personally have not done certain online classes because the audio was unfortunately, not good and too tinny. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so much!
Fabulous video - really comprehensive. One other option for the remote mic _could_ be a Rode Wireless Go, though the one concern would be how it handles sweat of the trainer. Rode-to-mixer would then be more compact and a possible option for when things return to in person classes. It could also be connected with a lavalier which could be replaced if water damaged.
Thank you. I'm so glad I found you. Sound is the most important part of my work as a teacher- I love to create a fabulous audio experience for meditations and having found your offerings, I just leaped in confidence that I will be able to expand my work which comes as a BIG relief during this covid time. Thank you again.
@@MusicRepo Since I watched your videos, I had the idea of which mic sounded best but then I talked to a sound engineer and he said for guided meditations, I probably want a headset but then my brother said that's not a good look, I prob want a lapel mic. Ugg. So, still figuring it out... I usually use a headset when I teach live. Do I want to invest in a receiver? And a mixer? And then I'd need an audio interface?
Thank you so much- this was super helpful to me to understand the inner workings of how to offer a better quality audio experience for our Group Fitness Participants!
This was so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! We originally gave up on Zoom as the audio quality was so bad so this has helped a lot and we might give it another try! 👍
Hi Jane, thank you for this great vlog. This helped me to resolve my latency problem during my Zumba® and other Zoom Courses. Yesterday I got a new Scarlett 4i4, I connected the RODE Wireless Go, my iPhone and a Bose S1 Pro directly to it without a mixer. Together with a few studio lights my setup has become quite performant.
@@MusicRepo Got a question to you, Jane. Is it possible to run dance classes with good music quality and without latency on Microsoft Teams like on Zoom? One of my clients wants me to use this platform, but I did not find the way yet.
Thank you so much for the work you put into this. This video/demo was so helpful for getting me what I need for leading classes. I am thankful for your work, professionalism, and great video! God bless!
Super helpful video. This is actually an edit to the comment that I originally posted. The first time I set up my mixer I seemed to have a very slight sync problem with my video and audio, with the video slightly ahead of my video. I watched some additional videos on TH-cam and went into my Windows setting to make some adjustments. Now my participants tell me that my video and audio are very well synced. What I’m still currently working out is getting the right balance with my music and my mic. Thank you so much for your video!
That's a shame, I attend a Zoom Zumba where the music is well synced. The instructor uses an analog mixer with an iRig audio interface. She does use an ethernet connection for internet, and is streaming through a macbook.
Love to see some comparisons about “plug and play” type lavalier microphones that are becoming available. Would be more for content creators I suppose. Thanks for all the information you put out!
iPhone ... will depend if you have a headphone port. In this video I showed all the cables and connectors you might need for this setup, but I had a phone with headphone port at the time. th-cam.com/video/UPtlWGyRvNU/w-d-xo.html I am going to re-examine this whole thing hopefully soon, and look at some of these issues. Meanwhile, I guess you'd need one of these? www.johnlewis.com/apple-lightning-to-3-5mm-headphone-jack-converter-white/p3025437?sku=236556716&s_ppc=2dx92700055386115642&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=CjwKCAiAouD_BRBIEiwALhJH6NO-EVe7ZM62WZpDaCyKb7DV8S9x8xevA3X90NnEIMlsduGyZkMrDRoC_HQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Thanks so much for the video! My question is the following: If I don't want to do zoom classes but videotape my dance/fitness class in order to post it later on a cloud for my students, would you also recommend making the video through a laptop and with the same equipment as mentioned in the video? Or can I connect that equipment also to a mobile phone? Would I then do the audio set up in the settings of my phone or where? Hope you understood my problem.. Thanks so much for your help!
Thanks for this video. I have just now subscribed to your channel and hope to learn many things I need to know about audio. I am on the starting curve of setting up a home studio and am doing my recording in GarageBand. Can you please direct me to any posts you have regarding precautions to be taken for doing multitrack recordings?
Thanks for the sub! I have a few videos on very basic multitrack. This one records two separate tracks at the same time from an audio interface th-cam.com/video/uKKSKI9XB7I/w-d-xo.html. Alternatively you can record one track and then overlay another. The main thing is to monitor with headphones if you are doing overlays - preferable closed back to minimise bleed.
Thank you very much for this extremely informative and clear video! I have the mixer set up but still have a lot of questions. Hoping you can help shed light on them: 1. Since I don't want to hear my voice in the speaker connected to the mixer, I put the mic volume in the mixer to zero. If the mic volume in zoom is high, will my students still get to hear me? 2. What should I select as the speaker in the zoom app? The mixer or the laptop's internal speaker? I'd sometimes unmute my students and would want to hear their concerns or questions. Where will their voice come out? 3. Finally, how do I know what volume to put my music on? Do I use my mixer knobs to control the volume or the mp3 player controls? The music seems to be too loud in zoom even though in my external speaker it is on a low volume. Hoping you can further share your knowledge on these matters! Thanks a bunch!!
This was brilliant - simple - concise and easy to digest and all in one video! Thank you so much! If I manage to get myself set up I'd love to invite you along to a zoom class as a big thank you!
Hello Katie did u but the Logitech camera for 209 pounds ? Did this work? I’m looking at doing the same ! Will appreciate u getting back to me ! Thank you x
Great explanation - thank you! I am a hypnotherapist so it is more voice and music I need to mix, I would like a really great headset with a mic so I can here too. I have it set up currently on a basic mixer I used for travelling and a headset that was part of a 'Hypnoke' machine - that I never quite got full value from. I don't know why but I cannot get my mixer to work as a mixer - I mean it is doing its thing as an interface but I have to change the volume on the device itself (& I have fat fingers) - I would like something much better - can you help?
Yes so fantastic, I am a dance teacher and i am doing everything ( all my classes) . This is so helpful... I mean really I am about to go read your blog. Thank you
This video is incredibly helpful and thorough! I was curious if you have to have a pro plan of zoom in order to adjust the audio settings as shown in the video?
Hi, love your videos. Would you happen to know how I could live stream fitness classes but then record my audio separately for editing later? So I need the music on one channel and the Mic(s) on a separate channel?
Thanks for this. It's great! We're using a USB mixer set up like you've outlined on Zoom. One thing I'm not sure about is that sometimes we want to talk to the people in the meeting, But not sure the best way to make the sound of their voices come out of a speaker. The only way we could hear them was via the built in speakers of the laptop but it's quite quiet. Can that be done via the USB mixer or would we have to plug another speaker in the headphone jack of the Macbook and use that as our Zoom speaker to amplify the voices of other participants?
Thank you so much I have sound equipment from various live class sizes just do not know how to use these pieces for zoom... whew I will watch this again and read more in your blog as well huge help.....
Great Vidéo. Do you also recommand to use OSB to record the zoom class in better quality ? And if yes would you have by any chance a vidéo or article thats shows how to use OBS for recording fitness class and at the same time playing it on Zoom ?
Ok so we have the wireless headset and receiver. We have a tablet, webcam, and Bluetooth large speaker called a block rocker. However the audio that is reiceved on the stream is picked up by the tablet’s mic I believe, and it sounds terrible. So am I understanding that we need an external mic that is better or would better sound quality come from somehow connecting the speaker output to the tablet?
Thanks for these clear explanations. I'm wondering if you might be able to address another kind of situation. I'm doing individual and group Zoom sessions where I'm sitting close to my macbook pro when we're chatting and then I'm standing up further away from my computer to show certain fullbody exercises. I already have a USB mic, which is great for close up, but am considering getting a wireless lavelier mic (such as the Rode WIreless Go) which plugs into the headphone jack and covers me with steady sound, no matter where I'm standing. My question is around being able to hear the people on the call, if my mic is in the headphone jack. I don't particularly want to be wearing headphones, either. Do you have any solutions for me?
Thank you so much. This is very helpful. I got it all set up and it worked great today. My only question is why can't I hear my clients? I was only able to communicate with them via the chat.
This is greeeeat! Thank you soOo much for taking the time to dive into the whole anatomy of the audio set up! I'm getting back on the saddle w online teaching and currently working out my audio issues. This is everything I needed! Do you by chance have links leading to the purchase of the exact audio set up for you first displayed ??
Hi, I use Behringer XENYX Q502B as my mixer and connect it to my laptop. I connect my Shure microphone using XLR and play my music from my laptop. I use earbuds and connect it via Bluetooth from my laptop for me to listen to the music. They worked great for my virtual class. Recently we start to conduct hybrid classes where virtual and physical run concurrently. I use the same setting as above except for the earbuds. This time a cable is use from the Main Out (mixer) to the speaker in the studio for physical participants to be able to enjoy their music. Virtual hiccups - they can hear the music loud as usual but my voice was not clear enough. Physical hiccups - we get mic feedback * both setting virtual only and hybrid classes music are from my laptop. I did not use my handphone as the main source for my music to connect them via Line In through the mixer because music from the laptop sound clearer and louder. Would appreciate if you could advice. Thank you.
ty chandler Hi dear Music Repo, firstly, thank you so much! Your clarity and succinct instructions are amazing (do you do Iyengar Yoga by chance?) Could you help me? I am preparing a Solstice workshop via Zoom. I use a Bose hands free as my speaker and for mic I have Sure ULXP4 with Scarlett Solo interface. My students can hear the music from my computer as well as my instructions. Problem is, I cannot hear the music - so I am unsure about the levels and when songs are starting/ending. Is there a 'trick' so that I can hear the music as well? Thank you so much for your time and expertis
Great info. I was wondering if you could do the analog setup but input to computer trough the headphone/mic 3.5mm jack instead of investing in an audio interface?
Great video thank you! I am trying to Film Videos to post online (so not live) but still need to sync audio with movement. Do you have a video explaining how to do this? I would be using a camera to film instead of a laptop for example
Thank you so much for this video!! I do have a question: I am planning on teaching, using music through computer sharing. I want to use the headset, but I see that it doesn't have earplugs. As I am talking, how will I still be hearing the music and my students?
Wonderful, clear explanations. Another question - can you use music that's on your laptop instead of on something like your iphone? Right now I have a wireless mic hooked up to the laptop with a USB cable and I'm sharing sound from the zoom settings with music I have on the laptop in iTunes. The sync seems to be pretty good. It's easier for me to have the music on my laptop (easier for me to use it and find what I need) - is it that much better to use an external music player of some kind? Thanks!
Hi, if your set up is working, that's great. I have had a lot of people write to me and say the sync is terrible if you just try and share the audio then use an external mic. So no, what works for you is better!
Hi Thank you for sharing this video. very informative. Just one questions. When you use mixer for music and voice then connect to the computer, do I still need to share the music setting? Thanks!
Hi great video . Do you have a video about buying best audio equipment that works for Zoom as well as in a studio / hall when we return to face to face ? I was thinking of buying a wireless headset and mixer . Would this also work in hall ? I’m a recently qualified Pilates instructor only taught a few times in a hall but lots on zoom . Thanks
great video. the music keeps going in & out in my wife's zoom hiit class & looking for a solution. my wife currently uses an usb snowball mic, phone for music & bose wireless spreaker. i can't seem to find the usb mixer you shared with master output for connecting speaker. any recommendations. thanks. Ivor
Hi ! Thanks for your video. However, when I share my music through the zoom app and play my music on my computer, my voice is shutt down when the music is playing... Do you know why ? I setup the audio parameters but it's doesn't work... th music always take all the place when playing, not like you ?!
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! Very teachable. I invested in an interface but the combination of mic and music is best when mic is used through interface and music played via computer. If I play music from my phone through the second port, the music doesn’t come out clear. I wonder if you have any tips or if that is the best way?
Thanks for this great info! We have been doing virtual classes from home since last April and have a great solution using big screen TV's, laptop, zoom, and logitech webcam and wireless headphone. Now looking at updating the studio so we can do hybrid classes. Any tips on what we need to change for this enviroment? Looks like the USB mixer is the key to ad in and then the proper positioning of the TV monitor.
Thank you for sharing all this helpful information, I am teaching zumba classes on zoom so I need to get the music and the movements coordinated, using the mixer interface set up how do I share the music with my participants over zoom. Thank you in advance

This is Great!! Quick question: What cord do I need to go from my Pyle PADI5MXU powered USB audio mixer to my portable speaker?
Hi, I use Behringer XENYX Q502B as my mixer and connect it to my laptop. I connect my Shure microphone using XLR and play my music from my laptop. I use earbuds and connect it via Bluetooth from my laptop for me to listen to the music. They worked great for my virtual class.
Recently we start to conduct hybrid classes where virtual and physical run concurrently. I use the same setting as above except for the earbuds. This time a cable is use from the Main Out (mixer) to the speaker in the studio for physical participants to be able to enjoy their music.
Virtual hiccups - they can hear the music loud as usual but my voice was not clear enough.
Physical hiccups - we get mic feedback
* both setting virtual only and hybrid classes music are from my laptop. I did not use my handphone as the main source for my music to connect them via Line In through the mixer because music from the laptop sound clearer and louder.
Would appreciate if you could advice. Thank you.

I use a Bose hands free as my speaker and for mic I have Sure ULXP4 with Scarlett Solo interface. My students can hear the music from my computer as well as my instructions. Problem is, I cannot hear the music - so I am unsure about the levels and when songs are starting/ending. Is there a 'trick' so that I can hear the music as well? Thank you so much for your time and expertis
Great info. I was wondering if you could do the analog setup but input to computer trough the headphone/mic 3.5mm jack instead of investing in an audio interface?
Great video thank you! I am trying to Film Videos to post online (so not live) but still need to sync audio with movement. Do you have a video explaining how to do this? I would be using a camera to film instead of a laptop for example
Thank you for this it's helped my classes survive through lockdown.
Thanks for this! Would have loved to see the wires/specific cables you would also need to purchase for this setup.
This was very helpful. I have a focusrite solo. Can I just connect my over head mic to the interface and connect the speaker to the interface?
Thank you!
GREAT post...could I use the Blue yeti and the mixer to sync my voice and the music? wireless headsets are either too much $$ or too bulky.
Thank you for this tutorial, it's just what I've been looking for :) do you happen to know what music bundle you purchased?
Thank you so much for this video!! I do have a question: I am planning on teaching, using music through computer sharing. I want to use the headset, but I see that it doesn't have earplugs. As I am talking, how will I still be hearing the music and my students?
Wonderful, clear explanations. Another question - can you use music that's on your laptop instead of on something like your iphone? Right now I have a wireless mic hooked up to the laptop with a USB cable and I'm sharing sound from the zoom settings with music I have on the laptop in iTunes. The sync seems to be pretty good. It's easier for me to have the music on my laptop (easier for me to use it and find what I need) - is it that much better to use an external music player of some kind? Thanks!
Hi, if your set up is working, that's great. I have had a lot of people write to me and say the sync is terrible if you just try and share the audio then use an external mic. So no, what works for you is better!
Hi Thank you for sharing this video. very informative. Just one questions. When you use mixer for music and voice then connect to the computer, do I still need to share the music setting? Thanks!
Hi great video . Do you have a video about buying best audio equipment that works for Zoom as well as in a studio / hall when we return to face to face ? I was thinking of buying a wireless headset and mixer . Would this also work in hall ? I’m a recently qualified Pilates instructor only taught a few times in a hall but lots on zoom . Thanks
great video. the music keeps going in & out in my wife's zoom hiit class & looking for a solution. my wife currently uses an usb snowball mic, phone for music & bose wireless spreaker. i can't seem to find the usb mixer you shared with master output for connecting speaker. any recommendations. thanks. Ivor
This is such an incredibly useful video. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi ! Thanks for your video.
However, when I share my music through the zoom app and play my music on my computer, my voice is shutt down when the music is playing... Do you know why ?
I setup the audio parameters but it's doesn't work... th music always take all the place when playing, not like you ?!
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! Very teachable. I invested in an interface but the combination of mic and music is best when mic is used through interface and music played via computer. If I play music from my phone through the second port, the music doesn’t come out clear. I wonder if you have any tips or if that is the best way?
Really nice job......
Thanks for this great info! We have been doing virtual classes from home since last April and have a great solution using big screen TV's, laptop, zoom, and logitech webcam and wireless headphone. Now looking at updating the studio so we can do hybrid classes. Any tips on what we need to change for this enviroment? Looks like the USB mixer is the key to ad in and then the proper positioning of the TV monitor.
This is very useful thank you ;)
Thank you for sharing all this helpful information, I am teaching zumba classes on zoom so I need to get the music and the movements coordinated, using the mixer interface set up how do I share the music with my participants over zoom. Thank you in advance
