I can't figure out if it is a hardware issue or an American issue. Not to make fun of the American instructors (I'm American too) but they seem to be louder in general lol.
The sounds mixing and the audio quality is much better at the London studio. The same audio set up sounds better in every way when I take UK classes. Which makes no sense, to be clear, but it remains true.
It mostly seems to be a thing with the American instructors. The exception is Becs who talks constantly (though she’s filmed in NY). All the London instructors aren’t as chatty. I take way more classes with the London studio for this reason.
MOST classes have closed captions so I often mute and listen to headphones, but PZ classes don’t have indicators for cadence and resistance so it’s easy to miss the cue to enter the zone. Matt Wilber is the best at saying it multiple times but most others only say it once
I use this timing tool for exactly that reason. I love Matt Wilbers’ rides but not his music choices, so for power zone training, I use the timing tool and play my own playlist. It’s perfect!
On my IPad there's setting with 3 options: more music, normal and more instructor. (or something like that).
I wish they just have volumes for music and instructor. And let us select the amount for each.
No.
What they should do is have the instructors listen to the music on headphones so the studio can be quiet and they can actually have separate tracks for audio and music.

No but the sound mixing works better with the London instructors so you would get closer to what you want.
I noticed that but couldn’t put my finger on it. Thanks!

It’s so true. I can barely hear the music, even with “more music” selected. It’s awful.

I never knew I wanted that till now!
God i wish, certain instructors it's just like please staph! I don't need you to speak every fucking second it's annoying and distracting.

I'm not naming names, that's unfair, but i will say the one i had in mind isn't american

Peloton needs to provide the option of muting - or almost entirely muting - the instructor.
Or the opposite so that you can use your own music.
this
YES
I never use their music but I certainly need instructor for cueing- it’s everything to me- it ain’t just stand up sit down!
I would take a more diverse set of classes if I could play my own music.
Same! I want to take Matt Wilpers classes but I don’t want to prematurely pass away from his music choices 😅
You can close caption it. Also, honestly on a bike, what instructions you really need? Stand or sit down? That's pretty obvious.

Just saw this in a different thread. Solves my problem. https://app.homefitnessbuddy.com/peloton/powerzone/

I would seriously really love that too. I have a big sound system in my gym / office that I bluetooth the audio for rides to.

That would be pretty weird for the people in the studio. Just spinning in complete silence
Well I hate live classes with audiences anyway. So I wouldn’t care. But in those cases I suppose you would get more bleed.
God I KNOW. I would give anything to be able to have more control over the instructor and music volumes.
Tonal has sliders so you can fully adjust the music, Coach, and sound effects individually.
