Another way is with sidechain compression (or ducking) where the vocal signal is used to turn the music down automatically. Unfortunately, Resolve's sidechain capabilities leave a lot to be desired. I have a feature request on the Resolve forum for VST Sidechaining because there are some great plugins for multiband ducking that currently cannot be used in Resolve. This is one of the reasons why I render all audio out of Resolve and use Reaper for mixing.

@JasonYadlovski

9 ай бұрын

That's a great idea too. The ducking is a nice feature. Yeah, I think the side-chaining can be developed a bit more.

Yes, I am that guy who just simply reduced the volume of the music clip. And I felt darned proud that I learned how to do even that in Resolve. 😂🤣 Ironically, I thought it was a good method because it saved me from being one of those video makers who has their background music annoyingly loud whether they have dialog or not. But starting now, thanks to Jay, I'm using the methods you have demonstrated here. Twelve months ago I didn't know what Fairlight was for- now Jay has me using it for improved audio! Huge thanks❗

Dialogue is a very small part of my video work which concentrates on nature experience. I tend to use EQ on every track to bring focus to the frequencies that work best for the situation. Quite often I use compression too, perhaps to soften louder moments (a very close bird call for example). And once or twice I have used side-chain to create space for dialogue (which I learnt from you). I am still very much a beginner with audio but it is becoming a much more important part of my work. Thanks for all your videos, cheers from New Zealand.

I have been trying to perfect this for a while. Thanks

I’m about to start learning on how to edit audio for my project in davinci (had some basic XP in Audition). Could you give we some tips on a proper order of audio processing? There’re steps on my list, maybe you can adjust the order based on your experience. Steps: 1. noise reduction 2. De-reverb 3. Equalizer 4. Compression (3:1) 5. Normalization (-6 or -3 dB) 6. De-esser 7. Crossfades (where necessary)

Thanks! The ducking’works great. If it doesn’t sound good for you, try adjusting the attack, hold and release. Those are the settings that will make it sound good as far as how it ducks the music and how the music returns to normal volume. Looking pressure/ratio. Will adjust how quiet the music gets when it ducks. Many times I use the auto ducking in combination with some of these tips. 😁👍

Excellent, I think about issues with past projects and can now avoid them. What I would like to discover is an easy way to imbed an Audio Channel (graphic view of the wave form) into a project. I'd like to show a Snick-o-meter. (IE. did the ball hit the bat ) YOUR OUT👍

The use of the EQ to stop mid range clashing is night and day. Definitely one I will be employing. Piano backing is always a problem when they start tinkling those higher notes around A6 and above. It might be worth combining cutting the EQ on the music track with boosting the same range on the vocal track?

Yeah, it makes a nice difference. Always depends on the vocal and the music track, but yeah you can always implement multiple strategies.

The line in the clip is a way for you to adjust the gain of the audio - it's the same as adjusting the volume slider in the inspector. Normalization sets the gain/volume of a clip based on the peaks or whatever method you choose to normalize by. Basically it's 2 different methods to set your audio levels.

Wow woulda never found that! Been a struggle balancing music and talk for my YT Vids. Trying to determine how good the new Deliver Page Audio Normalization for KZread is working? I would have to do a "no adjustment to sound video" to determine I guess.

@JasonYadlovski

9 ай бұрын

Glad video was helpful! I think the way you would work with the new normalization in the delivery page, is to make sure you set your project up for a given deliverable as far as the overall loudness is concerned. For example, if you’re delivering for KZread set it up for -14 LUFS and make sure the LUFS levels meet KZread standards. Then, if you wanted to change it for a different deliverable standard, that’s when I would use that normalization in the Deliver page. Otherwise, I would always make sure I edit my audio and get it where I want it to be before I deliver the project, which would basically mean I don’t need the normalization from the Deliver page. I think it’s only useful if you’re going from one deliverable requirement to another, and all of your audio is basically edited, and in a good spot to begin with. Normalizing audio really doesn’t help with things like compression and EQ, and overall enhancing the quality of your audio. It’s just bringing all your audio up to one given level, based on whatever preset you pick. For example, if you have a loud clap in your video, that loud clap part will be brought up to a certain level, but the rest your video still gonna be quiet. I hope this helps a little bit.
