Key Takeaways:

Audio Optimization

  • Zoom has great audio enhancers already built into the software. This helps you get good audio quality even if the place you’re recording at is a bit noisy

  • If you prefer your own set up with a mic and headphones be sure to go: Settings–Audio–Advanced Settings–and enable “original sound” and turn off the audio enhancers under Audio Processing

To Record Separate Audio for Two Speakers/People

  • Record both speakers audio separately by going to Settings — Recording — Local Recording– then click “Record a separate audio file for each person who speaks”

This should leave you with two separate m4a audio files that you can easily upload to iMovie, Garageband, and Adobe Audition!
