[@CreativeVideoTips]

Resolve 18.6 added a new normalization setting for KZbin. However, this does not apply compression to increase or adjust your loudness. The new tool basically is a volume knob on the entire mix based of your single loudest peak. The new tool is better than nothing, but won't do much for a video that has hardly any dynamics.

[@You-Same]

hey thanks for the great vids on davinci! been watching for a while. been having a feeling latly that my voice "feels quiet" like even though on the meters im at or above the target. my voice still just feels quiet got any tips for making voice overs "feel" louder?

[@Angzarrr]

I wondered. I’m struggling to get it close but am ok with my dynamics so wanted to see how the new KZbin target works to get me a little closer. Good to know it’s not all that smart or fancy though.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

@@Angzarrr smart move. Don’t over compress dialogue to try to hit that target.

[@Relativizor]

To clarify because the last sentence is a bit confusing: I think you mean it won't do a whole lot if your mix has a large dynamic range. Normalization won't be able to bring up the valleys of the mix because the peaks will prevent a loudness increase. So your main advice still holds true: you want to shape your mix, typically by use of compression, such that the dynamic range window is smaller. The nice thing about having a normalization pass like in 18.6 is that you don't have to chase a target loudness anymore. If your mix is right, but too quiet, the normalization pass brings it up to the limit.

[@Tuskabanana]

@@CreativeVideoTips nice tutorial, i have a question, on the limiter settings i can set the plus gain high as possible?, so i get the blue graph to yellow, for a like 1 hour plus video where the sound is changing 24/7?

[@ishepard2]

10000% of the time, YES. This is something that even big youtubers (or their editors) miss all the time and you end up with videos where the volume is just all over the place because they swap to different audio sources and never normalize audio.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks so much for watching. I'm no audio expert, but I'm glad you found this particular tip helpful :)

[@GavinPearce]

As a beginner these videos are invaluable, thanks so much for explaining this 👍🏼

[@xyzct]

Super helpful because there are so many videos on YT that recommend the limiter in the compressor panel, and they don't tell you that that limiter is NOT a hard limiter, but rather just the compressor with a higher ratio. It took me so many hours of confusion and frustration to figure out that I needed the hard limiter in EFFECTS > DYNAMICS > LIMITER

[@tomyost481]

Just a beginner here. Took over A/V at our church about a year ago. Just now discovering all I fix in DeVinci. I am 73, so not a techie. Thanks for your great and simple explanations.

[@GreggMcLachlan]

Chadwick, hands down, my favourite channel for all things Davinci. Man, you have a gift for explaining stuff and such an easy going way of connecting with viewers 👊 Thanks

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Wow, thanks Gregg. This means a lot. I REALLY appreciate you and stoked to have you as a part of this channel.

[@juliasavory]

Agreed. I've subscribed. And will learn a great deal. Perfect tone and delivery and not too fast. So much YT content is too fast. People aren't watching because they know and creators are charging through it but not here so great. THanks.

[@IlhasaescutaProjectoMaoemMao]

My words exactly. Cheers Chadwick !

[@FlyingAroundOz]

Yeah, this and Mr Alex Tech. And Jay Lippman

[@franktothemax]

This is incredible Chadwick! I've been editing videos for KZbin for over a decade now and I've never seriously considered adding compression to my vocal tracks, I've always manipulated the volume via bus sliders or audio keyframes. The luf explanation, the decibel explanation...the techniques and tips you shared in this video is all gold my man. I wish I understood compression a bit better (even as a guitarist) but this is a good first step in the right direction for me. Infinite thanks for sharing this super useful information man.

[@MatthiasLenardt]

Thanks for sharing the mysteries of audio mastering on resolve. I love this program soooo much. This is the heaven of video editing 😍

[@CreativeVideoTips]

I agree entirely; it's one of the best-kept secrets of how powerful this tool is. Thanks for watching!

[@MatthiasLenardt]

@@CreativeVideoTips Thank YOU. Have a blessed week 🙏

[@malindukumaradasa3851]

I was wondering why my videos sound so quiet even when I kept the recommended decibal levels for youtube at around the suggested levels. Only after watching this video I've learned that "loudness" was a thing. Thank you so much for the simple explanation! And of course, I am a beginner, standing at only 3 videos, 3 very quiet videos. But the next one is not gonna be that quiet :)

[@RussJohnsConnects]

This was an epic explanation and what I was searching for on bringing audio levels into check. I'm still learning Resolve and always looking to improve my skills. Thanks for the time and effort and look forward to learning about 18. Earned a new Sub!

[@PaulSaxbyPhotography]

Awesome, totally love the tutorials, especially the clarity of instruction and pace, not too quick but fast enough to keep me interested. I’m an intermediate user of Resolve having used Final Cut, Avid and Premiere over the years. Really enjoying your great content, please keep up the good work, you are definitely up there with the best DaVinci tutors out there.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thank you Paul, you certainly sound like a veteran having used all the apps! This is good for me to know so I can draw some parallels when it makes sense. Thank you for the nice feedback. I’m enjoying teaching things I’ve been learning along the way.

[@juliasavory]

Yep the pace is perfect as is the calmness of presentation style.

[@ambermcintire930]

Just found your channel and subbed. This is the most helpful video I’ve seen because you actually explained stuff no one else does. I’m probably between beginner and intermediate with resolve, there’s some areas I’m really comfortable with, but fairlight and audio I’ve never taken time to learn. Thank you!

[@luiztosk]

lifesaver! love that more creators are giving the right information in an accessible form!

[@welovesamples6051]

Great video dude! Although in my experience I would rather have a quieter channel, however better balanced, instead of hitting those -14 LUFS at all costs, as when it comes to compression and limiting, audio and music sacrifice quality. The LUFS theory in KZbin should actually work the same way as with Spotify and Co. meaning that audio/music if being louder, will be reduced in volume to their LUFS norm and if being quieter, pushed up to the norm. What I have realized that KZbin doesn't do it at all, which sucks, so no matter what LUFS the videos will have, it will not reduce the quality, (only if being louder than -14 LUFS). So my strategy is being around -23 LUFS, so I make sure that I don't have to use any additional processing like compressors, so I have still plenty of headroom to work with to make the video more "lifely" and more dynamic if I know that I want to create some exciting moments where things should be louder or quieter. If I try to hit -14 LUFS all the time, I couldn't do it, as -14 is already loud enough. So to summarize: I think it's far better to have a channel that has loudness consistency, rather than trying to aim for -14 LUFS at all costs, as well as that doesn't guarantee you any improvement of sound, only loudness. I see a lot of channels which compress/limit like hell and it just sounds awful, as most of those people don't know how to use those compressors at all, as it's not only about threshold or ratio, as well as attack and release times, and then it can become were tricky at times and can produce a lot of frustration, especially when your room where you record doesn't sound good in terms of the acoustics and it starts to sound super "roomy". So it's often times better to ride the faders as you have mentioned instead of squashing the signals.

[@heyJordanParker]

Finally an explanation that fully covers how to check you final levels on KZbin. Excellent work and thanks!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

No problem! Just even that right click - analyze levels option is super handy. Thanks for watching.

[@pi_f]

Thank you so much for this video! This was super helpful and informative. I learn so much about Resolve every video I come across on your channel!

[@TFAEmmerson]

I come back to this tutorial so many times! Thank you for it, it really helps a lot!

[@moufilliproductions1026]

This video made a huge difference just before we exported our feature film to KZbin. It's nice and loud now, and enjoyable and booming on a TV, which I've had trouble with in previous projects. The limiter/gain technique helped us get us as close as possible to 0db on YT's "content loudness" without peaking. Thank you again Chadwick!

[@travisminneapolis]

For some reason, when I render audio as an mp3 or .wav - it drops the audio to a way lower audio level. I import the files to Resolve and it shows them 10db quieter. I could make them peaking and it will just compress them down to max -10db. I can't find the settings anywhere.

[@oldman8277]

I STILL refer to this video often...Will you please consider updating this important topic to include the expanding audio metering options in Fairlight options? Thanks Chadwick!

Glad it was helpful! I really appreciate you Michael.

[@RealRamona]

Thank you for this video. I'm a narrator so audio is literally integral to what I bring in my content. I recently listened to own my videos on my TV, and then listened to other creators in my genre and noticed I sounded audibly quieter than them - even though with headphones (DT770 Pro) I do not hear that difference. This video has helped me a bunch and taught me how to hear and visualize exactly what I need to adjust in my sound. Thanks so much. I'm feeling a lot more confident in this upcoming upload.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Glad it was helpful! I appreciate ya.

Thanks! Gonna try master for -14 LUFS. Usually I just sit the mix around -6 dB.

I too am graduating from "-6" rule of thumb as of this video! :-)

[@KarlRock]

@@jonphebus6720 turns out my usual mixes between -18dB to -6dB are around -14 LUFS as far as I can tell after using Premieres Loudness Meter plugin a few times to check edits. So I didn’t have to change much.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Video Toaster! I have heard of that, but it just predates my editing days. I think a lot of the silly transitions, like the star wipe, in this video came from that system if I'm not mistaken. This is very helpful information . Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the tutorials.

[@ErikBiskopst]

Great video! :) But the compressor was a bit over cooked, because that monologue sounded a bit squashed (too loud breaths). I would just let the limiter get me to the desired level in this case. ;) I bougt Davinci in 2019. I have used Premier and Final Cut before. But I mostly work with audio (in Pro Tools).

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Hey thanks Erik. Yes! for sure that was way overdone and too much signal was tossed out - not my best example, but hopefully, folks can understand the loudness meter concept. Very cool to hear you're a Pro Tools guy. I could probably learn a lot from you.
