Hey Jason, always a pleasure to see you on RU-vid. Man, I just discovered this channel that does 20 second videos that are kinda horror themed?! You gotta watch the amount of editing that's put in those short clips. Talking about story telling... those guys are on a different level! More like, They "define" the level. MBGCore that's the channel.
you have no idea how helpful this video was, I have been looking for ages for a video on bouncing in Fairlight. I have subscribed good sir. Super excited about surround sound in Fairlight. I want to do everything in Resolve and not go to another application for my audio, so thank you. Do you have a video on Expander / Gate?
Nice video Jay. Does this help with Audio Ducking in Resolve? I have recently switched over from Premiere where their ducking is so much easier. With Resolve I have had issues with the music not picking up in an acceptable time (delayed). Then the music will have a quick shoot up when I talk a breath or I have a cut between clips. Does this fix this issue?
That's a good question! Unfortunately I'm not sure if it will help or not. That mostly gets resolved (pardon the pun) by tweaking the compressor settings. Good news is I'll be doing a video on automation soon so you'll have another way to duck the audio!
The chair in the corner really bothered me- lol. Okay, I have years of training in analogue recording - used to edit it with an actual razor blade. So I am not that up to date on other digital software. So I will ask what might seem like a dumb question. Why would they use the term "Stem" when "Buss" has the same amount of letters and they are referring to the same thing? If I was setting that mix up to do exactly what you did, I would have just named them "MX" and "DX". The term stem sounds like it came from something else. In the old recording studio days we would patch returns back into channels and then send to "subs" ( submixes ). So would be interesting to know where "Stems" came from. I do remember Mary Plummer from BMD using that term in her presentations, so guessing it must be a movie audio term. If so then why doesn't BMD name them Stems, instead of Buss on the GUI? These are the kind of things that confuse people in software. There is enough to learn as it is - even tougher when there are more than one term to mean the same thing. The first bounce you made to a bus - you said that ti will be a stereo track, but you left it Mono. I know that when I did a deep dive into Fairlight, bouncing a mono to a stereo track seemed like it should be easy, but it wasn't ( this was a long time ago ) - I was mixing a band with only one guitar track and I wanted to bounce it to a stereo track and use some stereo effects on it and still have the original track slightly time shifted. Found that was a little harder to do in fairlight than it should have been. Surround sound is interesting, but I wonder how many people actually target their work for TV or broadcast. Good to know anyway, I guess ( just in case ). Talk to ya soon. Take care Jay.
Yeah that whole stereo/mono thing was an accident. I said we were bouncing it to stereo but accidentally left it as mono lol. And I hear you on the naming thing. Lots of names for the same thing gets confusing. Sorry about the chair. I tried masking and using a clean plate, but my hand passed over that area so many times that I would have had to do an unbearable amount of rotoscoping.
Jim Robinson it may be a matter of semantics... I found this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_mixing_and_mastering And it may be how things are referenced in the digital DAW world. A submix on your console rendered to a digital track, would be a 'stem' that you send to me over the internet to use in a mix.
You know I'm actually an artlist subscriber already. But if you could convince them to make stems available (like epidemic sound does which I discovered too late) you could get rid of that annoying-as-fok tic tic tic that overpowers the background music in this video. Tell them. Please. And thank for the content. I have a ton of dialogue tracks in my latest project - various locations - so many different problems to address individually. But now? I'm learning how to get it all tamed and finish my movie. You da man.
