I don't think students are hearing his amp modeler, when the interface is set as his zoom input, its bypassing Logic. On my mac I use a program called LadioCast to help me mix sources for zoom.
I also should mention to look into Settings for zoom or whatever program you are using. It will often "suppress" music believing that you might be at a noisy location such as a trainstation or pub. Research "enable original sound" in zoom so its not optimized for voice. Then remember to click original sound when you start a meeting for music lessons.
From a comment of his below: "Regardless, the other person won't be able to hear your DAW unless you have some additional software to route the DAW to Zoom, which I don't bother with." So the amp modeler is just for him, not his students.
Ahhh I don't know why I never thought of hooking up my pedalboard!! I seriously can't stand the amp sims or get them to work with (the number of) outputs I have. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for sharing Jamey. Im actually looking at purchasing one of the focusrite or M-audio interfaces for bass guitar lessons via zoom or skype. I live in an apartment so trying not to be too loud.
Great tutorial thanks for posting!! I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile but just couldn’t quite visualize the setup. One curveball question for ya: In a pinch, does teaching via cell phone work okay without a mic??
I need to send audio from my pedal board/mixer direct to laptop amd into zoom. No obs, no daw, no focusrite. Can you send audio from headphone out in the mixer direct to laptop? What kind of plug adapter would I need? 1/8 to USB?
This is incredibly helpful. Moving in to an apartment so suddenly teaching volume is an issue. Is there a logic alternative or such for Chromebooks you'd recommend?
I noticed that you didn't mention the "Enable Original Sound" or "Suppress Background ..." settings. Is there a reason for that? Do you not need to do that because you're using your DAW? Thanks
Those settings are great! When I made this video last year, very early in the pandemic, Zoom didn’t have as many features as it does now. I also wasn’t aware of many of the things Zoom could do. I should do an updated video that includes more of the in app audio settings.
Hi! Great video! I’m a bass player and I tried to this for online lessons as well. But it seems that zoom only catches the sound directly from the interface (I have the same as yours) and not from Logic’s. I’m wondering if you know how to fix this.
@@levindatova4910 kind of old post, but this might help vb-audio.com/Cable/ Set the output of logic to the v cable, and the mic in zoom to the other end of the v cable.
No, you can always just set your Zoom output to be your interface and have direct audio. I just like to use my DAW so I can hear my amp plug ins. Regardless, the other person won't be able to hear your DAW unless you have some additional software to route the DAW to Zoom, which I don't bother with.
@@JameyArent thanks for the reply. I am using amplitube 4 and guitar is going through focusrite 2i4 will the person the other end hear the guitar as i am hearing it or will i need this aditional software ? If so do you know what software id need please
Is there any way to avoid the way the guitar gets washed out when you play chords? For example, playing single notes comes through fine on the call. but when playing chord, especially with fuzz or distortion, the guitar signal seems to drop out of the mix until you dial back the playing. I have my pedal board going directly into a behringer mixer. I am using skype (possibly zoom has better call quality?) I also turned off noise cancellation to see if that would help the guitar signal to stay clear and not drop out. Unfortunately, it still does the same. I am completely new to video calling while, incorporating instruments :)
Zoom automatically has a feature built in to compress loud sounds that aren’t speaking. This is to prevent barking dogs or crying babies from disrupting work meetings. As a result, it often compresses the guitar signal and cuts it out. There is a setting in Zoom’s audio preferences called “original sound for musicians.” If you turn this on, it may solve the issue.
do the people on the other end of zoom get guitar in one ear and vocal mic in the other? Or does it send both of your inputs to both output channels L+R?
Really helpful video thanks. But can u please help me in my setup... I have the following things:- ➡Guitar ➡Boss Katana 100mk2 with USB port ➡Headphones with 2 wires and ports (one wire with microphone) ➡Lenovo Windows 10 pc with webcam And I want to share my audio and video in google meet. I want to speak from my headphone's microphone and want to hear everything in my headphones. Please tell me how to do it...
do u know iftheres a way to set the audio interface & the computer mic simultaneously so I can have the instrument signal I talk to my student thruw the computer mic at the same time?thank you man
Not that I’m aware of. I have a multiple input interface with a mic and guitar in separate inputs. Maybe there is some software that can accomplish this, but I have no idea how.
The same principle applies to both Zoom and Skype. You can use a pedalboard into your interface and DAW, then change your audio input settings to your interface so the person on the other side receives your direct audio signal.
Thanks for the info! I’m doing lessons with a teacher tomorrow and I feel like this setup will do well for me.

Just what I was looking for! Thanks for the video mate
@Jamey Arent how do you get the input to use the audio from your logic session and not from the input (i.e.dry guitar)?
From a comment of his below: "Regardless, the other person won't be able to hear your DAW unless you have some additional software to route the DAW to Zoom, which I don't bother with."
So the amp modeler is just for him, not his students.

What is the alternative software for Windows?
nice trick man. peace from indonesia
Hi...thanks for the vid, great info. I have a question, can I play a backing track from my logic to play along, instead of using looper? Thanks

do i need to use a daw ?

Thanks for this! Do you teach with an acoustic guitar? How would you change the setup for teaching with an acoustic instrument?
I use a condenser mic that picks up both my voice and the acoustic guitar, then patch that mic through my interface and into Zoom's audio.
@@JameyArent Thank you! I'm tired of being hoarse from talking so loud after teaching! lol
Do you need the 8i8?. You're only using two XLR inputs, so I was wondering if you could use the 2i2 instead?
Sure, you could use a 2i2. The 8i8 is just the model I have.
Have you ever had a problem where you can hear your students voice but not their guitar when they’re simply using their laptop microphone for both?

Can i use guitar rig trial version to use on zoom ?
do the people on the other end of zoom get guitar in one ear and vocal mic in the other? Or does it send both of your inputs to both output channels L+R?
The person on the other end should get both guitar and mic in both ears of the headphones.
You're right! I tried it today for an online lesson and it worked perfectly. Thanks for video and the reply! @JameyArent

Hi, is there a latency issue between two musicians playing guitar over Zoom? Thanks.
Yes there is. Two musicians playing together in time over Zoom doesn’t work.

Please remove the word Skype from your title as you didn't show Skype setting
