Turn individual echo cancellation on or off

If you are not wearing headphones, Echo Cancellation limits how much other participants' audio output is picked up by your microphone and transmitted back into the studio. Without it, other participants will hear a feedback signal or echo during the studio session and the 'audio bleed' saves on their recorded tracks.

Step by step

• Enable echo cancellation in your browser

  1. Log in to your Riverside account.
  2. Join a Riverside studio.
  3. On the right side menu, click People.
  4. In the People sidebar, find the participant's name.
  5. Toggle Echo Cancellation on or off.
     Their individual Echo Cancellation turns on or off.

• Enable echo cancellation in the macOS desktop app

  1. Open the Riverside Mac app.
  2. Log in to your Riverside account.
  3. Click Record in studio to open a studio session.
  4. In the bottom right corner of the studio, click the People icon.
  5. In the People panel, find the participant’s name, then click the arrow to expand their card.
  6. Toggle Echo Cancellation on or off.
     Their individual Echo Cancellation turns on or off.

Good to know

• Echo Cancellation continuously adapts based on the changing noises of the environment, so you may occasionally hear a brief echo during your recording while the feature is enabled.
• Echo Cancellation can only be turned on or off before or after recording. If the toggle is grey, the host must first stop the current recording to turn it on.
• Audio from participants recording with the Riverside mobile app and cloud recordings always have Echo Cancellation. Echo cancellation may not work if the participant has another audio tool open in the background.
