As a musician, my equipment isn’t working well with Crowdcast during livestream. I use a looper often and have a powerful interface, but I still get a lot of sound “clipping” when singing with my looper during a live Crowdcast event.
I do not, however, experience this same clipping of sound while singing on zoom.
I do open mic and jams as well as live lessons using Zoom. My lighting is less than ideal, but my audio seems to be the best when I am using a USB microphone - a cheap one at that - a Blue Snowball. I have a friend with much higher end equipment and sometimes he sounds fabulous, and sometimes there is interference. I have had meetings on Discord, and that worked well.
