Yes, there is a lot to miss and that's why I wrote the book. I read already some responses where people trashing Zoom because of the bad mono audio quality.
First of all, Zoom is mono by default and you have to enable stereo. That is where the confusing interface comes in. Not only do you have to enable the stereo setting in the Web portal so a checkbox appears in the App preferences that you then have to enable. Now you have to make sure to be logged in to that Zoom account in the Zoom app for stereo to be active in addition to being enabled already.
The other complain is about the poor audio quality. Again, as a default, Zoom applies VoIP audio processing algorithms that doesn't work for music. Low end is cut and phasing gurguling artifacts (remember listening to music on hold nowadays with this sound quality?).
That is just some of the stuff I pulled my hair out trying to figure out, and there is even more complex inconsistent stuff going on. Good luck finding any mention of those little details on the 2 million YouTube videos about Zoom.
