I did a similar trial with electric drill, banging hammer and bench grinder. Took it all out. Brilliant. I would be good to be able to invert it to keep the noise and take out speech for those times when someone talks in the background.
You my friend are a genius...A group of students and Myself have just spent a month trying to decipher the vocals on one part of a song for an edit. I have just used the voice isolation tool on the song and I cracked it. Thanks for the heads up. Keep up the good work!
BEST.INTO.EVER 🤣🤣🤣 What wizardly magic does the newest update of Resolve posses? 🤯...this is so good!! Awesome as always, Alex - great to see you back and I hope you're okay after your epic adventure (incredible by the way 🤜💥🤛)
OMG! It's magical. Thank you! I can now do my voice overs with traffic outside and not have to wait until late at night, when I risk falling asleep at my desk! To eliminate booming, I have erected 3 sound absorption panels around my desk. Works a treat, although if voice isolation removes booming, then maybe I don't need them? All said, they look cool and block the sun from my face, so it's all good.
Waves Clarity Vx is a cheaper alternative if you can't spring for the studio version of Resolve. It's $30 right now and they frequently have sales on their plugins.
Great feature! I saw it already in the DaVinci release video, but your video is fun. Especially the music voice isolation part brings new ideas to the table.
I am getting the same issue. The video plays back perfectly in the edit page and then crashes on render. I have gone back and deleted some titles or transitions and then it seems to render ok
After an hour of looking around, and updating to the latest minor version. I just learned that Voice Isolation is only available to Davinci Resolve Studio. (I should have read the description first) Now I'm seriously thinking of shelling out the cash to get a Studio License! Based on this video, it is that good!
Don't know why, but I've had it available briefly with my free version. It works really well with blustery wind noise (the only file I tried it with). I found it crashed Resolve if I did anything else with the clip, though, like change volume. It is an old laptop.
Thanks for testing the music track. The follow up tip would have to be how to subtract that from a copy of the music (phase inversion?) to end up with a backing track (music only, no vocals). Must be possible in theory.
Your iphone can already do that in Music app. Just check the lyric while playing the song and you'll see a little mic icon. Hit it and the vocal is gone. Sweet.
After watching this video from start to finish I have found this very helpful especially when the ice cream van seems to always drive past when I start making videos, so thanks Alex - another fanstastically produced video, made easy to understand and learn as usual. Thanks again Alex
I have this voice isolation on my Davinci 18.1. I also tested some of my videos where I used a dead cat fur on my shotgun microphone and still had a few wind noise on my videos. In conclusion this voice isolation on Davinci fairlight is a godsend. It not only cut out the wind noise but also the background noise that made the voice of the person talking on the microphone much more clearer and understandable. Davinci is far better than my old Adobe Premiere that I've used in the past.
This literally is my new favorite video ever. I'm confident this will help with the everlasting problem with the neighbor's pet parrot that never....Stops....SCREAMING.... Thank you a million times over @mralextech!
I've had some difficulty using this when the voice track is just a bit too quiet. But now I want to know if the 18.1.1 update has helped but that was only released this morning. Great timing Alex! 😀
I just dropped the money on the Studio version, one of the reasons was for this isolation tool. Military aircraft flying overhead during an interview.. CRYSTAL CLEAR DIALOGUE! MONEY WELL SPENT!
Hello Alex, another great useful video. You may have already said it and I apologise if so but do I need to delete free version to upgrade? Also how abou my work that is on the local drive.?
Hey for some reason it doesnt show up in my fairlight page. I read somewhere you have to not have any track linked but all of my tracks are unlinked. Let me know if you have a solution.
In theory this is great and seems to work so well! I’ve been having real issues with it seeming to raise and lower the volume pretty dramatically and ‘pop’ a lot. Hoping they fix that or maybe it’s just mine!
Searching for Dialogue Leveler on your channel and not finding anything... just a bit surprised since you mentioned it in this video as something you'd likely cover in the future.
I interviewed a player after a match last week. Had to be indoors due to the weather. It was a noisy club with people going in and out of the door next to us. The interviewee said it was probably too noisy! I said it would be OK, and it was, due to this feature in post. A fabulous addition. It seemed to use quite a bit of extra processing, but I also used the leveller, which I probably didn't need.
Thanks for sharing the useful tip on how to apply this tool on entire audio track! Voice isolation is working insanely good for me 😁 However, leveler is a different story. When toggled on, my voice levels in one single sentence are all over the place and not useable at all. Perhaps it only works well with English pronunciations for now?
Hi Alex, I just switched from Fuji XT4 to Lumix S5ii. The Lumix records with audio codec Linear PCM (when shooting MOV internally). However, it seems that Davinci Resolve does not support voice isolation with audio codec LPCM. Do you know something about it? The Lumix can record audio codec AAC as well but only in MP4. And with MP4 I can't use 6k open gate and less bitrate as well ...
It works in my Free 18.1 version !!! Used it the day after it came out and I used it on 22 November. So maybe they made a mistake when they first released 18.1 free version and now the newer updates don't work?
great video, is there a way to invert the selection? At the end of the video you show how to get voices from a song. Is there a way to invert the selection and get the instrumental?
When I import a video clip either through Davinci or just drag it over using Windows Explorer, the audio track is EMPTY. There IS an audio track, but its empty. The clip plays with audio OUTSIDE of Davinci, but inside, there is an audio track, but no waveform showing inside. Ideas?
Is there a way to do the opposite function? For example you're getting video footage of (any random event) and a person next to you can't keep their trap shut. It would be nice to remove them
@@donovankean Sorry, that was an obscure song reference. 😂 Ylvis (the group that does What Does The Fox Say) has a song about a man and a woman both trying to find someone who also likes dubstep. One of the lines is 'Excuse me miss, but do you like the dubstep?' lol It's called Someone Like Me.
I know Audacity can probably do a decent job, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do the opposite with the music? Like a karaoke effect? It would be super handy to be able to do within Resolve.
My first question was: Can I use this to make karaoke tracks? So, it does the isolation of the voice. Can I now invert that waveform, then use it to filter out the voice from a copy of that same track? I know you can do that in Audacity. But, it would be nice to be able to do that all in one program.
It will likely depend on the source material. Resolve seems to remove the reverb on the isolated vocal, so if you invert it the reverb will be left in the original track, which would be a little weird. There is other software that can do this though, like Izotope Rx and HitnMix Ripx. Both of these produce stems like vocals, drums, bass, other which you can mute any of these.
Hello - i just find out about this function in paid davinci and its the reason why i am considering to pay for studio version. But will it work for me? Im shooting videos in the PUBLIC gym where music is played - not too loud but it can be heard on my records (i have DJI MIC). I thought this will be perfect for me but you kinda mess me little bit with that last part of video. I am afraid that it will pick up my voice and voice from songs and that final result will be even worst then have gym music in the background. Do you know what i mean? What do you think? Thank you very much.
I've been using the now gone ERA tools to do this and audio level, as well as auto EQ, etc. Now that these are here, I may just use ERA for auto EQ. How does this work compared to the Noise Reduction tool?
Hi. I have a problem. When i speak on microphone i move my head and sound have big waves. There is something in Davinci what can do my voice more balanced?
how to turn on / off or modify values of voice isloation to different clips at once? not the track lvl, Is ridiculous that can't be modified in several at once... do you know how? also copy paste attributes plugin or other otions in that doesn't work. Any ideas?
You could presumably render out the isolated voice, invert the phase by 180 degrees and then add it back to the original track, which would cancel out the voice to some amount.
It is a functionality that already existed in Final Cut X Pro since the beginning of the year. If I have to be honest I find that on Final Cut X Pro functions much better. Then he has a problem: he "resets" every time he activates or deactivates the function on DaVinci (he does not keep the setting in memory). Also, as can be seen in your video, when activating is always a delay in the audio sync compared to the video. When exports the problem is not presented, but it is annoying when you are editing.
Is there a way to identify a particular voice to isolate like if u in a restaurant and there people in the background who are competing with voice of your talent
@@ThePistonPit It is abit cack tbh 😄 It can be okay in the right situation etc. But I've had it do weird things when recording these videos, so I just switch it to manual.
