OpenMic "virtual"

Since the first lockdown in March 2020 I have organized a virtual Open Mic, at first weekly and later with larger time intervals, which took place by Zoom. On 25.04.2023 it will now take place for the last time. Everyone is cordially invited to participate, whether on stage or simply in the audience. The dates and all information about registration can be found here on the page.

If you run Zoom on a desktop or laptop, you should definitely use the latest version (may have to be downloaded and installed manually). To optimize the audio signal for music, open the Zoom settings and activate the following options under Audio in the advanced area:

Show option "Activate original sound" from microphone in meeting
HiFi music mode
Suppress background noise: low

If you don't, Zoom compresses all audio signals because it cannot differentiate between speech and song / music. As far as I know, phones and tablets do not have these setting options.

If you would like to get an impression of our previous virtual meetings, then take a look at our YouTube channel. So far there is a compilation of the performances from every meeting:
