5 EASY TIPS to improve your SOUNDDESIGN | DaVinci Resolve 18 Tutorial

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

FULL DISCLOSURE BECAUSE I DIDN'T MENTION THIS: The videos in the beginning were created for an editing contest hosted by Sam Newton & Vincero Collective - IT IS NOT MY FOOTAGE; NEITHER DID I FILM THIS!!! I just did the editing and the sound design!

Thanks, great video

my major problem is to think and find extra sfx that don't necessarily correspond to the action of the scene. Only it comes to search "swoosh" in theses cases and I end up using the same fx

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

Hey man! It really all comes down to experience. Try to look at your scene without any sound / music at all and analyze it. How would that sound in real life? Also what‘s good is to record a scratch track while filming the actual scene, so you know exactly what a scene sounded like as it happened. Another tip is, get an extra external ssd that you just use for sfx and build your own little library - be sure to categorize the sounds in a folder structure, so you know exactly what sounds are within these folders. That’s what I do, and I just look at my scene while browsing the libraries I think work best and listen to each sound. Works very well for me. Also when I download new sfx for a project, I‘ll categorize them into that folder structure immediately!

Where did you get the AUlowpass, AUReverb and all the Audio FX you have in Davinci!!

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

Hey Ibrahim - those AUEffects (AudioUnit) are from Apple and they come with any Mac computer. However, there is a reverb effect in the FairlightFX section as well that you can use (it does pretty much the same, just with more controls) and for the lowpass, simply select the sound effect, go to the inspector, go down to Equalizer and activate it. Now deactivate Band1-Band3 and only activate Band4, then drag the Band4 slider to the left to cut out the high frequencies until you are happy!:)

nice video! what screen size do you use? i have a 24inch monitor and i struggle with timeline space

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

Hey! I used to work with a 24“ as well and found it to be ‚acceptable‘ - not perfect though! I switched to a 32“ a few months ago and I love it! However, if you don’t want to upgrade to a bigger monitor just yet or don’t have the budget to, what I did on my 24“ I was assigning hotkeys to open/close all different tabs in the edit page like effects, media pool, mixer and inspector. So I could easily have all of them shut while I needed more screen real estate but also can open up any of them just by pressing a simple button!:)

[@DRei618]

I can't see any AULowpass in davinci. I'm using Studio 17 btw. Is this effect on newer versions of davinci or It's a separate plugin to purchase?

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

Hey! I forgot to mention that and I‘m sorry for it - the AU plug-ins are pre-installed on a Mac, you’re probably on windows that’s why you don’t have them. But don’t worry, you can simply use the EQ in the inspector (just select an audio file, go to the inspector and activate EQ - then activate Band4 and drag it as far to the left as you‘d like) - that’s the same as the lowpass filter does!:)

[@jayymorris5285]

So I have a question. Are there any alternative Audio Library plugins so i can add the tons of SFX I have downloaded? I dont like Fairlight because its a pain in the ass to update and its extremely tedious to have to make an entirely new library for every genre of effects i want to create. Im looking for something that can house and organize the multitude of SFX audios I have and allow me to just drop them into the timeline

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

Well, I have an external SSD that is extremely categorized for all the SFX that I have, on every project I just drag in that folder and all the subfolders get imported as well

[@jayymorris5285]

@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Yeah after hours of searching I think that's what I'm limited to. It's just that each project requires different SFX and to sit there and have to update the Fairlight like fifty times is not feasible. But also having a project folder that just has like 70 completely different SFX is irritating because then I either just delete that folder when the project is done or try to organize all of them after the fact.

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

@@jayymorris5285 100% agree on that. I usually have a subfolder within my sfx folder that’s named after the current project I am working on where I download all the required sfx to and then once the project is done, I categorize them into my existing folder structure and expanding my own library over time

can you please breakdown this video like whole process it would be so much great like how you masked. transitions please

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

Hey! I only used one simple masking technique that I already explained here: Sam Kolder Frame Block Transition // DaVinci Resolve 17 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4fNgqCIrcqSrNE Same thing applies for the dirt transition, I just feathered the hell out of the mask!:)

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

The other transitions are just simple light leak transitions overlaying the video below!:)

[@KhachatryanGR]

Hi, great video thanks! Where I can get this AULowpass filter?

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

It should be in your effects library under Audio effects. You can just simply create a lowpass filter, because all it does is cut out the high frequencies to a certain point. Just select your sound effect, go to the inspector in the top right corner, select ‚equalizer‘ and deactivate every band but activate band 4. then simply se the dot on band 4 and drag it to the left until you have the desired sound!:)

[@Alenk]

Hey bro, what's your monitor model?

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

I currently use the Samsung M7, it‘s a generic 4K 32“ smart monitor, nothing special but I really like it, although I sometimes wish it was more color accurate 😁

[@directorsamdawjee8617]

I dont have low pass filter in my audio fx liberary

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

Use the equalizer on the clip, deactivate everything except band 4 and then drag band 4 to the left while playing the sound until you have the desired effect! Basically a low psd filter just cuts out the high frequencies to the point that you like it!:)

Good tips but frustrating that u didn't actually play any of the sounds/effects ur talking about

[@SebastianFriedrichVisuals]

I get your point but the intro to this video actually included all the sounds used including effects, and then played again completely without them. I suggest to use headphones or quality speakers to really hear what’s going on
