I am new to broadcasting on youtube. I have never done video audio editing in my life before. Just downloaded DaVinci resolve. Definitely learned a lot from this video
Awesome, welcome to Resolve and to the community here! I've got lots of audio videos to help you. Just some tips - set your levels first, then EQ, then dynamics, then effects. I've got vids on all that stuff. 😜
This was so helpful man to find. I have a very noisy area where my Newmann 103 unfortunately picks up everything in the room. This helped so much appreciate it !!! New subscriber and thumbs up !!!
You are the best thing that happen on yt. Your helpful and get straight to the point🙌 i am sick and tired of other creators that does the same video like this, but they just be yip yapping. I like you bcuz you are straight to the point and ur really good at teaching💯💪
Thank you for this. One point of clarification - the noise reduction done on a 'portion' of the clip is automatically applied to the entire clip, am I correct? This is a helpful tip for me, as I was extracting the audio from my clip and using Audacity to effect noise reduction, then replacing the audio in DaVinci. Mine was a cumbersome workflow for the tutorial videos I make - and since I'm not doing cinematic movie productions, I think this will be a comparable alternative.
Hi! If you want to adjust it on a portion of the clip, I would make a cut around the section do you want to apply the noise reduction to. Otherwise it will apply to the whole clip. You can probably use some automation tools to turn it on and off, but it might be easier just to make some cuts and apply it on the part of the clip that you want
Thanks for checking out the video! I hope I answered any questions you might have. I made a video like this for just about every single audio plug-in if you’re ever interested in checking them out. 😁👍
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out the vid and my channel! Love me some good audio and I've got lots of videos to help you along the way to great audio!
everytime I try the noise reduction and select my clip, the noise reduction is applied for all the clips. Then I have to undo it and just accept that my video has audio inconsistencies. Any advice?
Hi! Are you trying to apply it to just one clip? If yes, go into the effects library in either the edit tab or Fairlight, find the Noise Reduction effect and drop it onto just that one clip you want to effect. If you drop it on the beginning of the track or add it in the mixer of Fairlight, it will apply the effect to the entire track.
Love your video! really helped (despite i have issues making it loop the selected part of the clip when it needs to learn xD It just continues past the end point
Dear Jason - thank you so much for all your videos, including this one. Very helpful! However, I have a question which I haven't seen asked anywhere but is critical for my project. I'm hoping you or others can help. I recorded a number of voice overs (using a USB Audio-Technica microphone). On first listen with normal headphones at 70-80% volume control, they recordings sound fine with maybe the odd distortion. But when I use high quality headphones at 90-100% volume (loud, but listenable), I can hear electronic glitches and distortions throughout (artifacts plus voice distortion). Now I'm in a quandary. I now know that the voice recordings are basically completely distorted if you turn up the volume, but basically fine if you don't. Also, listening to hours of recordings at a volume of 90-100% cannot be good for the ears. Question: what volume do you or others set your headphones at when doing audio editing and cleanup? Just ignore audio glitches if you can't really hear them at normal volume limits? (e.g., recommended 70% setting on your headphones). Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for checking out my videos! So I think I would approach the issue a little differently. I don't set my headphones to any particular volume. I think what you should be doing is setting your audio levels properly, using the meters in Resolve, then it won't matter what volume the headphones or speakers are set to. Breaking it down further, here's what I'd do - When recording, make sure you have good level with NO peaking. That will insure a good starting point. Next, when you get it into Resolve, set the audio levels there properly as well. For dialogue, I'd set the levels to around -8db to -10db. Create your video, and when it's done, you want to check the loudness levels to make sure it will work well for the platform you will be posting to. For example, RU-vid is -14 LUFS, whereas Broadcast TV is -23 LUFS. I've got videos on all this stuff if you are interested. Don't worry about the headphones volume as much as properly setting all levels along the way using meters, etc. Hope this helps!
@@JasonYadlovski Thank you so much Jason for your feedback. I/we very much appreciate the time you've taken to make these videos and to provide individual feedback. I will review again all of your videos re. sound recording/editing via Davinci and bear in mind your points above. If I find a solution or culprit, I'll share again for you and viewers. Just to provide you a brief update on the investigations into the glitches caused by the USB microphone (I'm now in contact with sound engineers and Audio Technica). It seems that the issue may lie in interactions/settings between the USB microphone and Windows 10 (I have a direct connection, no interface or mixer). We are working on this. You and many viewers may not encounter these problems if you are recording using a high quality XLR microphone connected to the computer via an external mixer or other interface (I believe this is your setup). (I am trying to record on the cheap, and this may be a limiting factor!) I will keep you posted and thank you again!
Thank you for walking through the plugin. Personally can't manage to get a good result out of it and tbh I think your example was better without the reduction, the voice just starts to sound too unnatural. The Plugin just doesn't do it well enough. The RX8 De-Noiser does a decent job, but can't be used as a PlugIn in Resolve - or I don't mange to get it running. Do you have an idea on how to make foreign VST / AU plugins work? RX8 works as an external audio engine in Resolve, but that's just too much work for a bigger project with many audio files.
Hi! I agree with you, the built in NR isn't so great. I really don't use it much. I use other plugins from Accusonus and it works much better. But you're right, too much and it sounds all weird. I've heard of the RX-8 stuff, but never used it. You can use other VST plugins in Resolve.
@@JasonYadlovski thanks to you man! Totally gonna change the game for me! Seriously! 🙏 I was having doubts about my videos because of the background noise. Now I have confidence to block them out and keep grinding.
Hi Jason, hope you are well. It isn't specifically on this topic, but having just bought my first Condenser pencil mic, I am not getting the sort of results I spent MONTHS, yes MONTHS, sorting out my other Mic. Sound treatment?!?! My new Mic is a different beast. I have the distance correct, it's a great Mic specifically for indoor, it's NOT a Boom/Shotgun Mic (spent hours watching those Videos !!) .. and I have followed your brilliant Videos on EQ etc which are the Videos I used for my other Mic which sounds PERFECT. Would you combine noise reduction and the voice isolation tools in DR Fairlight to remove the kind of noise I have, or would you suggest I treat my room with foam panels? :) Adding the Noise Reduction creates a phasing sound, and the Voice Isolation, mmmm .. doesn't seem to change anything.
Ignore the above, I remember I had RX10, and ran the Voice De-Noise plugin over the Audio, and boom .. all good ! but pinky promise, I WILL treat my room .. lol.
Glad you got it fixed up! Voice Isolation in Resolve would work great if you have Studio. But yeah, treating the room a bit would help too and some EQing would help too.
Cool. Thank you. New to audio. I'm wondering how to deal with issues of icky noises picking up when I speak. Lip smacking, like when someone is eating. Maybe the mic was too close?
Hi! I think you an probably move the mic away just a bit, maybe 8" to 1' away. Also make sure you're hydrated and concentrate on speaking in a way so that you don't get the lip smacking. It's a balancing act of different things. Practice makes perfect. 😜
Hi! Are you in the fairlight page with the range selection tool in the toolbar selected? Sound like you might not have that tool active before highlighting the clip.
Hi Jason, Great tutorial. This is a question unrelated to this video and maybe you can help. I'm working on a long short, 21 minutes. I separated all the clips in individual scenes into separate timelines. Now I want to open the clips up from multiple timelines on the edit page... but when I click on a timeline to "Open in Timeline" all the other timelines disappear. Is there a way to open all the timelines at the same time in the edit page. I hope that I have explained this correctly because the client wants to put some transitions between the separate timelines and the clips within them. If you can steer me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Hi, thanks! Yes you can open more than one timeline. Here's a video how to do it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IndPM3Jcz7o.html Should be the same process in DR18. Hope this Helps!
Hi I watched your video at least five times and tried three times, but I could NOT reproduce what you mentioned here. Like: Repeat the audio when selected... the nosise reduction. etc. I am using V17.4.5 now and tried your way when I used 17.3. What's wrong? What mistake I could make? Thanks~
Hi! Do you mean the audio won’t loop? You need to select the range with the range selection tool, then hit the loop button in the toolbar, then hit the keyboard shortcut alt (option on Mac) + /. If the shortcut doesn’t work, you can double check the keyboard customization to make sure the shortcut is set.
Thanks for this - just learning the tool. One thing that would have been helpful - maybe it is thought as too basic - but how do you APPLY your changes? Especially if I have multiple clips. regardless of my other ignorance of the tool - thanks for the video!
You’re welcome! Your changes will be applied automatically, you don’t have to do anything. If you’re using the effect on a track in Fairlight, it will apply to the entire track. If you apply to one specific clip by dropping it on a clip then only that clip will be effected. The changes are active as soon as you make them regardless of how you have applied the clip. Hope this helps, thanks so much for checking out the video!
Is this function only available on the Pro version? in the free version, which is what Im using, I don't see any of the labels, despite the fact that when I click on the 3 dots, all those have a tick next to it. I watched your ducking video, and I could not come right as the dynamic is not available
You’re welcome! I think the best bet is to just key frame the volume of your clip around the loud noise and drop down the volume if you can. I don’t have a video specifically on that. There are also plug-ins that help with plosives, that might help. Thanks for watching! And best of luck!
2:03 fairlight is the new gig :-) , just updated DVR 17 to 17.4.6 Build 4 and found out they had moved and put the noise reduction under restoration after clicking that + sign (together with the noise reduction are de-esser & de-hummer. thanks Jason for showing this trick.
how to have different noise reduction settings for different parts of the track, do i have to cut the clip and make a new track for each one or is there a way to apply noise reduction only to a selection/clip and not the entire track?
You can play noise reduction to a single clip if you’d like. In Fairlight, Just open your effects library, go to the audio effects and drag and drop the noise reduction onto the clips you want to use it on.
I'll give it a try. I have been fighting for the past 48 hours with a bit of track where a bit of dialogue I want to save is interspersed with an absolutely disgusting sounding 'nasal snert' shooting up 20 decibels. It has resisted everything I have thrown at it.
I have a problem with Da Vinci and I hope that you would reply to me if you knew it I was working on version 16 and his masterpiece was with me with a product and recorded on it as a beginning. I had the purpose. After I talked to Issue 17 *, the sound did not work for me if I wanted to Audio from BRA * The program microphone does not read it * And if I recorded it from Mick, Father, I would not know it So I tried back to version 16 refreshed to run the new version I hope you see my message and you have a solution for it
You’re welcome! Typically I’ll EQ my audio, then set some dynamics and the add effects like noise reduction. I usually use a gate to reduce background noise, which is in the dynamics panel instead of using the noise reduction effect. I find it works a little bit better for my situation.
@@JasonYadlovski Thank you. In another of your videos, you have shown that you start with 'Normalization of the clip to -8dB' first. So should that be done first even when one needs to apply NR? Please note that I am making some free educational videos, so I am trying to learn this so that students may have a clear voice to support their learning. Thanks again.
So here’s my process - I’m going to set my levels to approximately -8 db. You can normalize to do that or you can just adjust the volume in the inspector or fader for the track. Then I EQ the clip, next apply dynamics - a compressor and gate, then any effects - I use multiband compressor and a DeEsser. I’ve got videos on all that stuff if you are interested. 👍😁
@@JasonYadlovski Oh yes, I actually referred to this workflow I learnt from the video you mentioned. I just want to know where does 'NR' fit in the above-mentioned workflow of yours. Thank you again for taking the time to reply.
Thanks for this video!! Could you by any chance do a tutorial on how to remove really heavy background noise like street noise, sirens etc? I'm having severe problems right now and a deadline i gotta meet😅
Hey man! If there’s a lot of background noise like that there’s a good chance you cannot remove it in Davinci Resolve. You can try making it less of a distraction by using a gate, some noise reduction and maybe some EQ or something. But to pull out just vocals you would need how much more expensive audio editing program. Best of luck on your project!
I have been using Audacity for my audio by taking the audio from clip, doing what needs done and exporting it as a separate audio file then replace the original audio with the doctored one. However I have heard that Audacity has now basically injected spyware into their program and would rather not use it anymore. Besides, with this video I just may be able to stop using Audacity. (By the way, I am very new using Davinci, I use to use Premier Pro CS6. (Never updated to latest Adobe because I really hate having to basically buy a subscription to use it. I like, pay once and done.) Am using Resolve 17 free version at the moment and I must say the learning curve was not as bad as I feared or as bad as most have said it would be, mainly because of videos like yours.
Awesome, glad I could help! If you have an idea of what you’re doing, it’s not so bad but if you’re brand new the learning curve is pretty steep. Fairlight has a ton of awesome tools they could probably do the same thing just as good as audacity. I had it light audio in Fairlight and find it works well. I’ve got lots of videos on it too if you need some help on that stuff. Thanks for stopping by and check it out videos hope you stick around and be part of the community. 😁👍
Check out this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TkHCKZ4oUrM.html and this one too around 15 min. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H08721S3Z38.html
There are lots of them. Waves makes some but basically any vst or vst3 plug-in can work. Accuse us also makes a de-reverb that may remove the echo. Just google something like Echo removing plug-ins.
@@JasonYadlovski My keyboard doesn't have a dedicated backslash we have to use "Alt GR" + "+" to make a backslash. Solution: use Ctrl+Alt+K to open Keyboard Customization and change the key bind for "Play In To Out" to whatever you want. Also you need to click the timeline to lock in the in and out points before it works apparently.
Thanks! Newbie question. How come we can't see any waveforms for the noise when you stopped talking? I ask bc in iMovie you can visualize noise in the audio tracks
Please forgive the of topic question, but do you know how to upgrade V16 studio to v17 without having to pay for it again? Whenever I try to find a download link I am redirected to choose a reseller...
Hey! Just go right to black magic designs support webpage. You can download it for free directly from them. Look at the bottom left-hand part of the page and you’ll see, latest downloads. You should not have to pay any extra to download the program especially if you already have studio, you get the upgrade. www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/
Hi Jason, is there a way you can remove things like police sirens if you were doing an outside video and had some interference whilst on shoot? Cheers! CJ
Hi Curtis! You’re not really gonna be able to remove them in Davinci Resolve, maybe something like isotope could remove those sounds. You can make them a little less obvious by using a gate or expander or maybe some noise reduction.
This either doesn't apply on my clip when I go back into the regular edit timeline, or it puts it on the entire timeline on every clip on my entire film... Is there something you do or hit to make the effect apply on the clip where you want it to? Every video I see has someone showing you on one clip, but when you have many, how do you get it to work and separate the effect from the others and get it where you want it? I even highlight the clip I want it on and it still doesnt work right on there.
If you wanna apply an effect to one clip, you have to open the effects library in either fairlight or the edit page, and then drag effect from the effects library onto your one particular clip. If you try to use the effect in the mixer in Fairlight, that will apply the effect to the entire track which includes all clips in that track. I hope this helps and makes sense, thanks for watching!
Sorry to bother again but I did have one final question. After adding noise reduction to a few clips, there's a glitch sound, mini jump-like in the audio in a few spots in my fairlight timeline but that glitch sound isn't there in my audio in my normal editing timeline. So, I was just wondering which one is telling me the truth when it renders? 🤔
@@JasonYadlovski Thanks for you reply! I'll be having my 65th birthday next March and I would learn this method to morph my photos from age 1 till now. Hope that you could teach me how to do it. Hope that you could understand my poor English! thx
I have a Problem. If i reduce the audio noise background i also reduce my Voice talking. Is there a way to detach from the audio the Voice talking and the noise such as the wind or whatever ? Because if not, that's impossible T.T HEEEEELP PLEASE
Hi! You can't do that in DaVinci Resolve, you'd need more advanced software like iZotope. I'd recommend trying the adding a gate. Try to reduce your noise, without effecting your voice too much. You can also try to EQ some of it out. Might work a little. It might sound a little strange if you try to remove too much of it. Best of luck on your project!
Love how energetic you present your videos :D ... the video was also just filled with so much useful content in a concise period of time. Helped me a lot in my latest video!
A question, can I use the NR learn thing from one clip in another. For eg, i left some silence in clip 1 but not clip 2, so i learn the NR from clip 1 and then apply it to clip 1. Will it still affect clip 2 since they both are on the same track?
As long as you use the noise reduction for the entire track versus just one clip, everything in the track will be affected by your noise reduction. You can use whatever clip you want to set it and it will apply to the entire track.
I heard that software is really great. I’ve never used it though. I mostly work on small time projects, never worked on a film or anything. Would be a cool experience though. 😜
@@JasonYadlovski we had a scene and someone was cuttings the grass and I was able to pin point the the fq and remove it. With out interfering with the voice
different question, how are you doing the mouse circle focus effect where it follows the mouse and everything outside of the circle is darker (1:34). I know i can do this in fusion but im thinking youre doing something much easier ??
Hi! You’re correct, you can do it in fusion but it is harder that way. I do it in my screen recording software, it’s called Screenflow and it’s for Mac. I just setup a preset and literally it’s one click to make it do that wherever I want. If you’re on a Mac, Screenflow is great.
Hi! My initial thought is that you’re not going to be able to remove all of it for sure, so I would focus on how to minimize it. I would probably start by adding a gate and adjusting my threshold and range to try and minimize the sound. Then I might try the noise removal effect in this tutorial. If you have any third-party VST plug-ins that you like for noise removal you can always add those in as well. You could try a little EQ to bring down some of the frequencies that contain the noise if it does not interfere with the vocal. Basically you’ll just have to try a bunch of different things and see what has the best result. Thanks for checking out the video and best of luck on your project!
Hey Rosso - not sure, could be budget different things. Where have you set the levels for your audio tracks? You can also check the loudness levels before exporting, once all your audio work is done. I’ve got videos about setting levels as well as loudness or you can check out if you’re interested. Are you editing and playing it back on the same device?
@@JasonYadlovski using Davinci I have edited my video with the default levels of loudness as I am using a Rode microphone. Before rendering the video it sounds great but after rendering it the sound gets lower. It is so low that it seems I am telling a secret
It doesn't specifically say 'noise reduction' other than the effect is called that. The better bet is to use voice isolation if you have the Studio version.
I have a question, How can I apply this Noise Reduction effect to an especific part of my audio? I don't want to apply the effect to the whole audio, just for like 1 minute where the audio caught a noise from outside.
Hi! Here’s what you can do, make a cut on either side of the section you want to apply noise reduction to. Then you can just open your effects library, go to audio Effects, find noise reduction and drag it and drop it on to just that one particular click. Then the effect is only on that clip. Hope this helps, thanks for watching! 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski I have been trying to figure it out for the last hour. You helped me a lot! Thank you so much! 🥺 You truly are a huge help for a newbie like me 😁 I'm looking to watch all of your videos during my free time 👍🏼
Didn't work for me sadly, even though I followed your exact steps. Might be because the noise I'm trying to remove is a bit loud or because I have a newer DaVinci version, I don't know
@@JasonYadlovski I took a video of a train and my camera, who doesn't work that good in the cold made a noise that went like vrrrrrr which is really loud when the train isn't passing me
Are you trying to reduce that noise or completely remove it? Do you want the video to be silent during that time? Or do you still want some kind of ambient noise?
friend help, i set my camera recording a celebration and then a glass of wine drops a guy and i cant remove the sound of my video because speech removes too, how to fix it?
