Clubhouse has a new high-quality audio option for musicians
Clubhouse has proven to be a big hit with musicians, helping them try out material on an audience and even create viral hits. Now, the site is becoming more useful to bands and singers with a new feature called music mode, the company announced in a blog post.
The new mode appears in the three-dot menu under “audio quality,” with a new selection called “music.” Clubhouse didn’t reveal any of the audio specs, but said it lets users broadcast with high quality in stereo. “You’ll also be able to use professional audio equipment for your performance, like external USB microphones or mixing boards,” it wrote. Users will also be able to add the mode to pre-recorded Clips, “so any snippets you share from performers using music mode will also sound great,” according to Clubhouse.
The new feature is the second boost to sound quality over the last couple of months. Late in August, Clubhouse added spatial audio to create more immersive audio chats, making speakers’ voices come from different parts of the room.
Along with the music mode, Clubhouse rolled out a couple of new tweaks, moving the search bar to the top of the feed and allowing users to wave at each other through the search bar, on iOS to start with. The new features will roll out to iOS first, “with Android as a fast follow,” the company wrote.
