Zoom conference recordings - tips on enhancing the sound quality?

There's something about audio that you need to understand...

The thing that people don't get (and I blame programmes like CSI for this) is that ultimately, the quality of audio is absolutely limited by the equipment used to create it - you simply can't improve on that. You can filter out interference, get rid of noise, etc and that's fine, but what you simply can't do is things like 'add clarity' (which is what people usually mean by sound better). That clarity simply isn't there, and clarity doesn't come in a can. With a Zoom conference, you have audio where the quality is limited firstly by the mic used, and then by the transmission medium, and there's simply no getting around that - otherwise people would be doing it all the time as a matter of course.

In future, it's worth noting that the best way to achieve good quality whilst you're recording any sort of a remote via Zoom - or Skype, come to that - is to get your guest to record his part of the conversation locally on something like a small portable recorder, and email you the file of that. With care, when you build your sequence, you can make it sound as if you're in the same room.
