Clubhouse Launches New ‘Music Mode’ for Musicians

Clubhouse launched a new Music Mode to make it a better place for musicians to play and live music, The Verge reported on Thursday.

If you’re a musician on Clubhouse, or you love listening to live music on the app, the new Music Mode “optimizes Clubhouse to broadcast your music with high quality and great stereo sound,” according to the company’s blog post.

Clubhouse has mention that you can now hook up professional equipment, like a USB mic or mixing board, and use it during your broadcast.

You can easily get to the Music Mode by tapping the three dots in the top right corner of a room, selecting Audio Quality, and then choosing Music.

However, if you only want to listen to the performance, you won’t have to do any of this — just sit back and enjoy stereo audio from your headphones, speakers, or your phone itself.

The company also noted that its recently introduced Clips feature will support stereo sound as well, so if you decide to save a snippet of a performance in Music Mode, the audio quality will stay the same.

Notably, the new feature will initially only be available on iOS, but Clubhouse says that the rollout to Android will follow shortly behind.

The app already added spatial audio in late August, which makes conversations sound more like a room full of people than a flat audio call.
