Recording from multiple mic inputs?

Due to system limitations, each computer can only accommodate one microphone input at a time. If multiple participants are recording from the same location, you have a couple of options:

  1. Share One Computer and Microphone: Everyone can gather around a single computer and use one microphone. This setup will produce one audio recording with all voices combined on a single track. Please note that it's not possible to create separate recordings for each participant if you're sharing the same equipment.
  2. Use Separate Computers in Different Rooms: To avoid audio feedback and manage individual recordings, participants can use a separate computer in a different room. This ensures that each recording is clear and isolated.

For any participant joining remotely, they can connect to the session as usual from their location.
