n this video we're going to be looking at part two of working in divin resolves Fair Light page I'm going to teach you the stuff that you need to know and you'll probably use every time you work with audio in resolve and of course when it comes to working with audio you want to make sure that you're recording with the best equipment I use a lab that I have hidden on me right now to record my dialog audio I also use an external recorder that records 32-bit floats so your audio will never peek again it's amazing and if you're new here I'm Ally will and I own a video production company in Toronto Canada we work on a lot of brands campaigns like commercials social media videos and we have this YouTube channel where we release weekly videos all about editing and troubleshooting in div Venture resolve so to stay in the loop subscribe to our Channel all right let's hop back into the fairl page and [Music] continue okay so we're in resolves fairlight page and one thing you might come across is audio recordings that only come out of the Left Channel aka the left speaker which you can verify right here this could be because it was recorded in mono and it's on a track that's set to stereo which is indicated by showing two here we want this dialog audio to be heard out of both channels and there are a few different fixes the easiest in my opinion is to just right click on the audio track here choose change track type and mono okay there we go our dialogue is now on a mono track playing out of the left and right speaker let's click on the mixer panel to open it up so this shows our different audio tracks you can add effects here work on Dynamics and more let's look at the A1 track now I intentionally have these two dialogue Clips set to visibly different decb to show you how normalization Works which is what we're going to check out in just a second I'd like these clips to be a consistent volume in part one of this crash course we looked at adjusting audio levels using key frames which is a professional and customizable approach and one that I recommend now I'm going to show you how to normalize your audio normalization quickly adjusts the volume of multiple selected audio files relative to each other to create a more consistent level of volume it's beginner friendly and Speedy but it's not as precise as key framing it can be really handy if you're working on like a lowbudget project or project that needs to be delivered really quickly and I just want to say that working with volume and normalization can get quite complex and require different steps depending on where your project will be viewed like if it's going to be viewed on Netflix compared to TV compared to YouTube I'm going to keep it nice and simple so let's select these two clips right click choose normalize audio levels this drop- down menu shows several different modes you can choose from based on your project let's choose true Peak which measures the loudest parts of your audio mix and then sets the loudest part to the Target level you choose anything above zero will sound distorted I recommend you set Yours between - 6 and minus 3 and choose independent so it adjusts the volume higher or lower based on the target level you set compared to relative which would adjust the levels relative to all the clips that you selected click normalize okay and here we go the overall volume of these tracks is more consistent next let's check out the dser tool in my dialogue the part I'm about to play for you is particularly to se sounding for my liking and don't know where to start this video is for you I'm just going to make an inpoint and an outp point turn loop on let's go over to the mixer panel under the A1 track where it says effects click on the little plus icon and choose dser let's click this drop- down menu which gives us a few pre presets you don't have to choose any but I like to start with the option that's best suited for my dialogue and adjust from there so I will choose female s if you want to listen to the sey sound only that resolve is trying to remove you can click here under frequency range I actually prefer the top range which will address a smaller range of frequencies the higher this amount the more it could start to muffle your audio and your S's so you want to listen back and adjust this dial to find an amount that sounds like it's reduced that hissy essy sound without making the audio sound unnatural so let's have a listen as we adjust this dial for you we're to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you I think around 40 is sounding good and reaction time basically means if the effect effect should jump into play Fast medium or slow I stick with medium and I'll just point out if you want to set this effect back to the default you can click this little circle Arrow up here if you want to turn the effect off just click on this red button cool I'll close that okay now I just want to point out that if you are adding effects in the mixer like we just did on the one track that effect is going to be applied to all of the audio on that track meaning we just applied the dester to Will's audio as well because he's a different person and he pronunciator settings I chose might not work so great for his audio so if you do need the DSR effect to just go on specific Clips with my audio one track selected I'll just go up to inspector and the dser effect shows here hit the trash can to delete it off of the A1 track now let's click on effects there's the dester in my favorite list right where we put it in part one so I'll drag this effect onto my individual clip here and now the entire A1 track will not be affected by this effect now let's go up to Mark and choose clear in and out and open up the inspector panel so the inspector panel makes it really easy to adjust some commonly used audio parameters like volume effects and more one thing I love is voice isolation it's amazing it's one of the reasons I ended up switching to the studio version because it really helps easily remove distracting back backround noise in your audio I made an in-depth tutorial a while back that's one of our most popular looking at how to reduce and remove annoying background noise in the free version and paid version of resolve and I just recreated that tutorial with the most upto-date information I'm going to link it in the description below I highly recommend you check it out now I prefer to use the equalizer EQ effect that we're going to look at coming up but here in the inspector panel we have quick access to a more General equalizer click here to turn it on on let's select band one which will cut the low pitch frequencies of the track we have selected on our timeline we can also click on band four which cuts the higher pitch frequencies you can also manually adjust any of these as well next this is a feature I love when I'm testing out different music tracks to see what's working and not working with the vibe of my project so let's rightclick on our current Music Choice choose reveal in media pool to easily find it there it is highlighted in red right click on it and choose replace selected clip now I can choose a different music track hit open and this new music track has been replaced with the previous one I'll just zoom into the beginning of my music here and when you're working with music often times the track will have a few frames or a second or so of no audio in the recording before it begins so let's just trim the blank beginning of this track and move over here zoom out drag the end of our music track track to where the end of our dialogue clip is it snaps nicely because we have Snap-on that we learned about in part one I'll zoom in here and you see this little Point here click on it and drag it inwards which creates a linear sort of fade of the volume of your music so that it doesn't just like abruptly stop the volume Fades nicely what I like to do is click on this point here to round out that fade more I just find it more pleasing to the ear and I recommend you do this as well did I close the mixer let's open it back up and on the A1 track click where it says AQ let's turn it on click on band one to cut those lower frequencies I usually adjust mine to 100 because with dialog you don't need to hear the frequencies below 100 also turn band six on and adjust it to around 14k you can also grab any of these other band points here and press the space bar to play through your dialogue vog if you're completely confused by nodes and don't know where to start this video is for you if you're completely confused by nodes and don't know where to start listen back and adjust them until you're happy with the results overall it's a good practice to get used to using EQ and at the very least cutting the high and low frequencies like we just did another few random things I want to show you are let's say you've put a whole bunch of effects and done a whole bunch of things to your audio track and you decide you want to remove some stuff or you want to remove everything you've done you can right click on your audio track choose remove attributes and check mark any of them to get rid of them and I should also show you this because I use it every day if you have Cuts between your audio and you have two audio tracks side by side sometimes this can introduce like random abrupt sounds or sound changes let's have a listen You'll Know What to Do welcome back to another video did you hear it there's like a c sort of sound in between me and Will's clip now in some cases to remove this you'd want to trim the audio back on one of the clips a bit but adding a cross fade can do the trick by right clicking and I choose add six frames cross fade now sometimes that's too long of a cross fade you can drag this fade in or out I drag it in on both sides to make these two audio clips flow together you'll know what to do welcome back to another video okay that noise is now gone and those clips sound less together okay the end there you go thanks for checking this video out I hope you have a lovely day and we will see you in another [Music] one

In this video, we're going to be looking at part two of working in DaVinci Resolve's Fairlight page. I'm going to teach you the stuff that you need to know and you'll probably use every time you work with audio in Resolve. And of course, when it comes to working with audio, you want to make sure that you're recording with the best equipment. I use a lav that I have hidden on me right now to record my dialog audio. I also use an external recorder that records 32-bit floats so your audio will never peak again. It's amazing. And if you're new here, I'm Ally Will and I own a video production company in Toronto, Canada. We work on a lot of brands' campaigns like commercials, social media videos, and we have this YouTube channel where we release weekly videos all about editing and troubleshooting in DaVinci Resolve. So to stay in the loop, subscribe to our channel. All right, let's hop back into the Fairlight page and continue.
Okay, so we're in Resolve's Fairlight page and one thing you might come across is audio recordings that only come out of the Left Channel, aka the left speaker, which you can verify right here. This could be because it was recorded in mono and it's on a track that's set to stereo, which is indicated by showing two here. We want this dialog audio to be heard out of both channels, and there are a few different fixes. The easiest, in my opinion, is to just right-click on the audio track here, choose "Change Track Type" and "Mono." Okay, there we go, our dialogue is now on a mono track playing out of the left and right speaker. Let's click on the mixer panel to open it up. So this shows our different audio tracks. You can add effects here, work on Dynamics, and more. Let's look at the A1 track. Now I intentionally have these two dialogue clips set to visibly different decibels to show you how normalization works, which is what we're going to check out in just a second. I'd like these clips to be a consistent volume. In part one of this crash course, we looked at adjusting audio levels using keyframes, which is a professional and customizable approach and one that I recommend. Now I'm going to show you how to normalize your audio. Normalization quickly adjusts the volume of multiple selected audio files relative to each other to create a more consistent level of volume. It's beginner-friendly and speedy but it's not as precise as keyframing. It can be really handy if you're working on like a low-budget project or project that needs to be delivered really quickly and I just want to say that working with volume and normalization can get quite complex and require different steps depending on where your project will be viewed like if it's going to be viewed on Netflix compared to TV compared to YouTube. I'm going to keep it nice and simple so let's select these two clips right-click choose normalize audio levels this drop-down menu shows several different modes you can choose from based on your project. Let's choose true Peak which measures the loudest parts of your audio mix and then sets the loudest part to the Target level you choose. Anything above zero will sound distorted. I recommend you set Yours between - 6 and minus 3 and choose independent so it adjusts the volume higher or lower based on the target level you set compared to relative which would adjust the levels relative to all the clips that you selected. Click normalize okay and here we go the overall volume of these tracks is more consistent.
Next, let's check out the dser tool in my dialogue. The part I'm about to play for you is particularly to sounding for my liking and don't know where to start this video is for you. I'm just going to make an inpoint and an outpoint turn loop on. Let's go over to the mixer panel under the A1 track where it says effects click on the little plus icon and choose dser. Let's click this drop-down menu which gives us a few presets. You don't have to choose any but I like to start with the option that's best suited for my dialogue and adjust from there so I will choose female s if you want to listen to the sey sound only that resolve is trying to remove you can click here under frequency range I actually prefer the top range which will address a smaller range of frequencies the higher this amount the more it could start to muffle your audio and your S's so you want to listen back and adjust this dial to find an amount that sounds like it's reduced that hissy essy sound without making the audio sound unnatural so let's have a listen as we adjust this dial for you we're to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you or to start this video is for you I think around 40 is sounding good and reaction time basically means if the effect effect should jump into play Fast medium or slow I stick with medium and I'll just point out if you want to set this effect back to the default you can click this little circle Arrow up here if you want to turn the effect off just click on this red button cool I'll close that.
Okay, now I just want to point out that if you are adding effects in the mixer like we just did on the one track that effect is going to be applied to all of the audio on that track meaning we just applied the dser to Will's audio as well because he's a different person and his pronunciation settings I chose might not work so great for his audio so if you do need the DSR effect to just go on specific clips with my audio one track selected I'll just go up to inspector and the dser effect shows here hit the trash can to delete it off of the A1 track now let's click on effects there's the de-esser in my favorite list right where we put it in part one so I'll drag this effect onto my individual clip here and now the entire A1 track will not be affected by this effect now let's go up to Mark and choose clear in and out and open up the inspector panel. So the inspector panel makes it really easy to adjust some commonly used audio parameters like volume effects and more one thing I love is voice isolation it's amazing it's one of the reasons I ended up switching to the studio version because it really helps easily remove distracting background noise in your audio. I made an in-depth tutorial a while back that's one of our most popular looking at how to reduce and remove annoying background noise in the free version and paid version of resolve and I just recreated that tutorial with the most up-to-date information I'm going to link it in the description below I highly recommend you check it out.
Now I prefer to use the equalizer EQ effect that we're going to look at coming up but here in the inspector panel we have quick access to a more General equalizer click here to turn it on on let's select band one which will cut the low pitch frequencies of the track we have selected on our timeline we can also click on band four which cuts the higher pitch frequencies you can also manually adjust any of these as well next this is a feature I love when I'm testing out different music tracks to see what's working and not working with the vibe of my project so let's right-click on our current Music Choice choose reveal in media pool to easily find it there it is highlighted in red right click on it and choose replace selected clip now I can choose a different music track hit open and this new music track has been replaced with the previous one I'll just zoom into the beginning of my music here and when you're working with music often times the track will have a few frames or a second or so of no audio in the recording before it begins so let's just trim the blank beginning of this track and move over here zoom out drag the end of our music track track to where the end of our dialogue clip is it snaps nicely because we have Snap-on that we learned about in part one I'll zoom in here and you see this little Point here click on it and drag it inwards which creates a linear sort of fade of the volume of your music so that it doesn't just like abruptly stop the volume Fades nicely what I like to do is click on this point here to round out that fade more I just find it more pleasing to the ear and I recommend you do this as well did I close the mixer let's open it back up and on the A1 track click where it says AQ let's turn it on click on band one to cut those lower frequencies I usually adjust mine to 100 because with dialog you don't need to hear the frequencies below 100 also turn band six on and adjust it to around 14k you can also grab any of these other band points here and press the space bar to play through your dialogue vog if you're completely confused by nodes and don't know where to start this video is for you if you're completely confused by nodes and don't know where to start listen back and adjust them until you're happy with the results overall it's a good practice to get used to using EQ and at the very least cutting the high and low frequencies like we just did another few random things I want to show you are let's say you've put a whole bunch of effects and done a whole bunch of things to your audio track and you decide you want to remove some stuff or you want to remove everything you've done you can right click on your audio track choose remove attributes and check mark any of them to get rid of them and I should also show you this because I use it every day if you have Cuts between your audio and you have two audio tracks side by side sometimes this can introduce like random abrupt sounds or sound changes let's have a listen You'll Know What to Do welcome back to another video did you hear it there's like a c sort of sound in between me and Will's clip now in some cases to remove this you'd want to trim the audio back on one of the clips a bit but adding a cross fade can do the trick by right clicking and I choose add six frames cross fade now sometimes that's too long of a cross fade you can drag this fade in or out I drag it in on both sides to make these two audio clips flow together you'll know what to do welcome back to another video okay that noise is now gone and those clips sound less together okay the end there you go thanks for checking this video out I hope you have a lovely day and we will see you in another one.
