I agree that turning off echo cancellation is a welcome feature. In my experience, there are often situations where the Zoom guest can hear themselves through the on-site microphones. If the audio technician doesn't adjust/mute the audio source sent to Zoom every time the Zoom guest speaks or implement a ducking function, the Zoom guest will hear themselves with an unpleasant delay.

While the "Original Sound" feature significantly improves audio quality, I don't find the integrated echo cancellation in Zoom to be a major impairment to the audio signal. With echo cancellation enabled, the audio technician doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Therefore, an "Echo Cancellation On/Off" option (of course, in the Zoom setup, not in the input settings, as Richardgatarski rightly mentioned) would be another highlight for this new vMix version.

I agree, it is much improved. And appreciated :D

But, as per Zoom's KB about Original sound option for Windows/MacOS one can choose to turn on/off these three options individually:

• High-fidelity music mode
  
• Echo cancellation
  
• Stereo audio

Ideally this flexibility would be the same in vMix. If nothing else for finding out which options works best in a particular setting. Sometimes we are uninterested in HiFi and Stereo, only wanting to turn Echo cancellation off.

I noticed that in beta 27.0.0.52 this option is still managed on all Zoom Inputs. Changing it on one Zoom Input does not affect any other Zoom Input.

Thanks.

So, should I avoid downloading and trying the Beta with my Zoom drum students until after the Original Sound for Musicians issue(s) member richardgatarski brings up are fixed?

I'd really appreciate it if you awesome vMix devs would fix the Original Sound for Musicians bug found by richardgatarski . My students and I currently must turn on Original Sound For Musicians in the actual Zoom app to be able to function in our drum lessons. Otherwise Zoom interprets our drumming as background noise and eliminates it! We also turn on echo cancellation in the Original Sound for Musicians section with no ill effects even though I've also taken care of that upstream in my various settings.

Thanks so much for building this Zoom plugin. My graphics card will be so relieved!!! (I've been running vMix & Zoom simultaneously and using vMix's "External" for 7 months for my in-lesson camera switching, etc. Using them together trips lots of video card utilization alerts in vMix which is in 4K and of course Zoom is not.

So, I'm really excited to try this when it's ready

Thanks, Ned :)
