Layer an exposure ladder onto your one-take memo: hum the melody on NG sing one verse at whisper level, then at conversational level, then send that verse to one trusted friend; repeat and slowly widen the audience. To steady shakes, do 5-10 slow breaths with a long hiss or through the straw and add a quick full-body shake and a few yawns, then sing with soft knees and eyes on a fixed point. Also practice a few times in a slightly live room so reverb doesn't surprise you later; sing into a corner or a pillow to keep it neighbor-friendly.

USB C can run in two modes for video. Four DP lanes for maximum display bandwidth, or two DP lanes plus USB 3 data. Many compact hubs pick the two lane mode so they can keep fast USB, which halves display bandwidth and is exactly how you end up stuck at 4K30. Dual 4K60 over MST needs either four DP lanes at DP 1.4 with DSC or Thunderbolt which carries two full DP links regardless of the USB data. DisplayLink takes a different path by sending compressed frames over USB 3 and ignores the DP lane math. So what to shop for. If you want MST, the laptop GPU must support DP 1.4 with DSC and the dock must explicitly say dual 4K60 via DP 1.4 MST. Expect your USB ports on the dock to drop to USB 2 speeds during heavy display use unless the design uses DSC cleverly. If you want no surprises, look for a dock based on DisplayLink that lists dual 4K60 and be ready to install its driver, it works well for productivity though I would not pick it for fast paced gaming. And keep cables short and rated for DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.0, otherwise the dock may negotiate down and you will be back at 30.
