About this insiders training 🔎
To celebrate the launch of our new book, The Interpreter's Guide to Audio and Video, audio expert Naomi Bowman joined us for a live Q&A.
In this session, we answered the following questions:
Can a USB headset be damaged or age more quickly if you always leave it connected to your computer?
Sometimes a computer or an app refuses to recognize a USB audio device. How might we prevent this from happening
Plantronics headphones apparently do not provide full duplex or ISO-compliant sound. However, I haven't noticed any difference in smoothness of incoming sound when speaking and no one has mentioned any problems when I use the 3.5 millimeter jack. Should I avoid using these headphones?
Do remote simultaneous interpreting platforms improve sound? Some claim to correct the frequencies.
Is there a website you can use to check your incoming and outgoing sound before connecting to a meeting?
When I plug a cable into my iPad and run sound through a mixer, the volume is quite low. How can I fix this?
I just bought a Gemini MM1 mixer and the volume is quite low on both devices. How can I fix this?
When I plug a cable into my iPad, the speakers stop working. Can I change the output back to my built-in speakers?
How can I use a mixer to route sound from my MacBook to Zoom for Remote Sim-Consec?
What has your experience with limiters been like? Have they helped improve incoming sound?
Would a headset with a 98 dB limiter offer a satisfactory degree of protection against poor sound?
How can you crop the shot on your webcam if it doesn't come with software to do so?
What quiet laptop cooler would you recommend?
Can you recommend a headset that can be used with a USB port on a computer, USB-C port on a cell phone and a landline via Bluetooth?
How can we reliably level decibel levels of the sound coming through our headphones using an app?
Are there any reliable noise-cancelling USB headset microphones that can be paired with a mixer?
How can we give clients recommendations about equipment or software to improve their own audio quality?
What is the difference in sound quality between a standalone microphone and a boom microphone?
