25 Improving Your Audio For the World of Virtual Communications

Send us a text


During the Covid pandemic, most of us have had to shift to the
virtual world for our conversations, presentations, classes, and
committee meetings.


One thing that I notice is that almost everyone has bad audio.
Not just low fidelity (that’s intrinsic in the on-line medium),
but audio with poor intelligibility due to bad mics, bad mic
technique, poor-sounding rooms, and extraneous noise.


I compiled a few suggestions on how you can improve your virtual
audio and made it into this short podcast episode. I also talk a
bit about improving the video component.


None of these suggestions cost a lot of money. Some actually cost
nothing.


It looks like we will be interacting with each other through Zoom
and Skype (and others) for the foreseeable future, so it pays to
put a little effort into making the best of this technology.


And I suspect that we will be doing a lot more of this virtual
communication even after the pandemic is under control, so it is
worth sharpening your skills in the realm.

About half of the listeners use Apple Podcasts to listen to this
podcast, and adding in the listeners who use Stitcher, Spotify,
Google Podcasts, and others bring that method of consuming the
podcast up to about 80%. One advantage of Apple and other podcast
providers is that you can subscribe to my podcast and receive
notification of new episodes, and even automatically download
each episode if you wish.


For those of you who prefer to be on my email list, just send me
email with a request and I’ll add you to the list. I send out one
email for each new episode, with a link.


I am gratified by the large number of listeners, but I suspect
you know others who would like My Take On Music Recording.
Please send them a link. And any mention you make on social media
is also helpful.


Thanks.
