Wow! Gotta' be honest Jason, I'm one of those 'non' Fairlight boys, do as much as you can on the edit page, then leave well enough alone. I thought I'd watch maybe 2-3 minutes of this video "What! An hour and a quarter of boring Fairlight?" Then head on back to something else. Watched the whole thing. To anyone else out there who feels intimidated or unsure about this audio business, do yourself a favour and watch this video. Excellent mate. Thank you.

Thank you for your seminar! Very informative! Since I come from the music I understand audio a little better than the average video guy. What I’ve been doing is exporting my audio separately into my DAW of choice in which I understand better. But after watching your seminar I think I’ll give Fairchild another shot 😀👍🏾!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out this years ResolveCon too! It will stream live on @caseyfaris channel.

[@NicNatarella]

11:54 - moving tracks around. I'm fairly new to DR, but have years (wow...decades now that I think about it. ugh) in audio production. I'm guessing - you can't change the order of the video tracks because that would determine what gets presented on the screen. Whereas audio, the "upper" layers don't override the "lower" layers like in video. Chances are, in audio you're going to be playing every track that has something on it in that moment in time. @Jason - LOVE your stuff. We have a lot of parallels, too: audio and video creation, running sound at church, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you SO much for the amazing tutorials and sharing your wealth of knowledge. God bless you!!

[@liambdevine]

Great presentation Jason! I've spent the last week going through a load of your videos to get a better understanding of Fairlight and audio editing. From what I've gathered from a workflow standpoint you want to set your levels in relation to each other, EQ, dynamics, effects then aim to bring everything up to -14 LUFS and -2db true peak for youtube delivery. Quick question, I do travel vlogs so I'm constantly in different places and environments, say I set EQ or the compressor on a track level and it's fine for one place say like a beach or waterfall then I'm in a different location like indoors, will those settings still be fine as long as I am using the same mic? If not whats the best way to go around that? Thank you for making these videos, you've helped a lot of people!

[@videolearner1]

Hey Jason, I see a setting called impact and balance under the multiband compressor. Is that some sort of preset now?

[@chinacountrylife]

hello Jason, I watched this full course, really helpful. but could you please do another video to expand the dynamics & compressor for adjusting the loudness of youtube videos? I make some cooking videos with some oil frying audio peaking. it's inaccurate and troublesome to adjust the clips one by one. thank you so much!!! ❤

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! I do have a video on the dynamics here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmGbaGVniJiNaZo and a video about how I set loudness here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaq6d3-JabuKrKM Hope they help!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@ozzmanzz]

Hi Jason, Thanks for this video, I have a question re Dynamics. When do you use the limiter and how is that different from only using the compressor?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I don't use the limiter in the dynamics panel. The limiter is a hard cutoff where nothing can go above it. The compressor will compress the audio once it goes above a certain threshold. It doesn't create a hard cutoff for the audio. I only use the limiter on the main bus1 out and set it to around -1db, just to make sure nothing clips. But I use the limiter effect, not the limiter in the dynamics panel. Hoe this helps!

[@ozzmanzz]

@@JasonYadlovski You're a good man Jason! Thanks for replying.

[@johnsellers4215]

Thank you Jason, Watching your videos on voice isolation and dialogue leveler have been extremely helpful. However, I'm having issues rendering from the edit page, my audio track and video tracks are fine on the timeline, but when I go render on Quick Export it renders out of sync. Do you have any suggestions. Johnny Boy

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! I don't have any ideas about rendering from the Edit page, I've never tried it. I always go to the Deliver tab. I like being able to select my settings for export. I never found the presets to be very good. Here's a video w/ the settings I use in the deliver page, maybe give them a try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5O7lnmZlsd9ptk

[@harveyrabbit]

This video is so wonderful and thourough. Thank you so much? Have you ever had the problem of the EQ interface not coming up when you click on it? I have searched all over the internet and reddit and found no solutions. I even reinstalled davinci and still no change.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! Sometimes the window for the EQ may be off screen and that's why you don't see it. I forgot the way to 'bring all windows to the front' but I think that's more of a system thing, not necessarily a Resolve thing. But that's where I'd start to look for the problem....🤔

[@davidstasinos9668]

Thanks Jason. This looks like just what I need. Will the Clarity VX plugin install to the free version of DaVinci Resolve 18?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Yes it will install into the free version. Just a heads up, if you have any issues, waves will say that they don’t support in Davinci Resolve. It just means they haven’t tested it and they can’t help you with any questions. If you did think about picking up the studio version, voice, isolation works much, the same as Clarity VX. You should be able to find clarity VX on sale frequently as well.

[@davidstasinos9668]

@@JasonYadlovski Yes, they've already told me that. I've downloaded and installed Waves Central. It shows a lot of products downloaded with it (including Clarity Vx). Of course, it doesn't show it activated, which I assume is because I wanted to try the demo first (per Waves' advice). I'm not sure, though, how to get the plugin to appear in DaVinci Resolve. I should mention that I ran a separate installation for Clarity Vx, and it now shows up in "PluginSubscriptions" in the dashboard.

[@santhiraraj5869]

Hey buddy what do you think about Sony wh 1000 xm5 headphones for audio editing

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! I’ve never used them but here’s my thoughts after taking a quick look at them - if editing I DaVinci Resolve, I would not recommend Bluetooth headphones. I’d go wired because often there are issues with Resolve and Bluetooth. There’s also a delay using BT from what I’ve noticed. As for these headphones, I don’t know if they will ‘color’ the sound, like adding extra bass or treble. My guess is that they will similar to a Bose or Beats headphones. That’s not what you want for audio editing. Ideally you want headphones that give you a more true sound to the original audio. I might say you’d be better to save some bucks and go with something like the Sony MDR-7506 for 80 bucks. I’ve got the original of these, the MDR-V6 and they are great. I bet those headphones are great for listening, just might not be the best for audio editing. Hope this helps!

[@philcaffrey]

Hi. Great vid. Thanks. I have an issue where I am adding an audio track they I record directly into Resolve. There is a lot of latency which makes it impossible to record in good sync with any original audio. This is important as I will often add an instrument track over pre-recorded music. How can I fix stop that I can monitor during recording, but without the latency?

[@JasonYadlovski]

There shouldn't be that much latency, but maybe turn off the monitoring so you don't hear the delay while recording. Or maybe optimize the project for smoother playback so Resolve isn't getting bogged down.

[@philcaffrey]

@@JasonYadlovski thanks Jason. I'll give that ago. I might also have a look at the settings on my audio interface to win a bit of latency back.

[@videolearner1]

Hi Jason, when you're playing around with the EQ settings (or other effects settings), how do you reset it to the default overall?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! In the top right of the effect, there's a little reset icon. Click that and it will reset everything.

[@videolearner1]

@@JasonYadlovski I assume you're talking about that circular arrow with a + in it? If so, yes I see that it does reset. But another confusing thing to me is that when I open an effect it shows "default" but then when I select another option the default option just disappears and I can never find it again. So what is the default option for an effect and how do I get back to it??

[@ShobaSadler]

Hi Jason, do you think we should get Da Vinci Resolve Studio in order to get the maximum benefits from all that you are teaching here? Or do you think the FREE version is enough to create great audio?

[@JasonYadlovski]

I’m pretty sure you can do everything I mentioned in this video using the free version. The free version is good enough until you feel like it’s holding you back. The main difference between the free version in the studio version is that the studio version runs smoother overall and will make use of a GPU if you have one. The free version will not utilize the GPU, that’s just a limitation of the free version. The studio version also unlocks a few additional goodies. If you’re doing a lot of video editing, the $295 for the studio version is totally worth it. 👍😁

1. Pls do you recommend using vocal channel. 2. I bought a 30 dollar mic thinking it will do the job but its not quite thier do you recommend getting a more expensive mic 3. It always seems to echo when I record a voice over so I have to mute my bus in order to record my audio. But I want to hear my video while recording.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You can probably use the microphone you have, and just do a little EQ work along with some compression and it should help it sound a lot better. I have an EQ crash course if you don’t know how to use it, and I can help you out as well as videos about the dynamics panel in Davinci Resolve For compression.

[@akinwaledanteallen7907]

Thanks I'll check those videos out

Àre high pàßß filters and low pass filters ùsed in music ßpeçifically hand ďrum groups ?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Sure, you could use them for drum groups. I would use a low pass filter to get rid of the higher end frequencies. You don’t need when it comes to drums.

Evening Jason, maybe afternoon where you are...who knows. Looking for a bit of an answer in fairlight. Im trying to cut clips to music so i go in fairlight and make markers on the music track play it a couple of times then go in to edit and then cut the video clips on the beat of the markers, after a few times playing or zooming in or out the beat of the music have come out of alignment with the video clips, been pulling my hair out for a couple days now trying, hope you can help, oh i did go to your site to buy you a coffee, i was going to use paypal but don't see that as an option?.many thanks. Ste

[@JasonYadlovski]

I would check and make sure it's not a playback issue causing the beats to sound off. It might be lined up ok, try rendering out a small section and see how it sounds. Looks like Buy Me a Coffee stopped using PayPal. I don't know why. You can also try a super thanks here on KZbin. Thank you for your support!

[@stehume]

@@JasonYadlovski Hi Jason, thank you for your reply, i rendered it out and it seemed to have stayed in time, very odd, thank you for that. You seem to have become my turn to channel for davinci, easy to follow and not half hour watching before you get to the point, plus your way of presenting makes me laugh at times. I will try to do the super thanks at the weekend then if its the same thing as buy you a coffee, you really deserve it. all the best thanks again

[@TokyoXtreme]

How to get that “bad video” look from the first example?

[@JasonYadlovski]

I just threw a bunch of random effects on the clip. Things like analog TV, static overlays, etc.

[@regeneratedwitch]

May I ask why my mixer has almost nothing? It doesn't have effects, dynamics, eq e.t.c.

[@JasonYadlovski]

It does have all that stuff if you are in Fairlight. If you don't see it, click the 3 dots at the top right of the mixer and check on those options.

[@regeneratedwitch]

@@JasonYadlovski thank you so so so much for your reply! I clicked here, there, everywhere and finally found it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@BleepingWorld]

How do you get rid of the range thing after your done looping?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Alt (Option on Mac) + x

[@BleepingWorld]

@@JasonYadlovski Thanks but I think im giving up on Davinci. It takes so damn long to zoom in and out on videos. Takes me like 5x times as long to edit videos.

[@alchemyhouse]

When you said you were going to speak to the "Fairlight Interface" I understood that to be the SX-36 I/O Hardware, which is commonly referred to "Fairlight Audio Interface" ...and its required accelerator card -- where can we get more specific instructions on how to assign inputs and use SX-36 with Resolve? It would be helpful to see how this can be used for ADR mics, etc. There is nothing on this anywhere that I've been able to find.... even BM's videos on the instructions are all about using the fairlight page but nothing on the hardware.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey Tom! Sorry I didn't provide the info you were looking for. I haven't used the Fairlight interface before, it's overkill for any of the videos I do. I know Casey Faris took a look at one of the interfaces, you can check his video. Or I'd just go to BMD's website and look at the documentation for the specific item you are looking at. Maybe drop BMD an email or something. I'm sure they'd help if you are spending some serious money on a product like that.

[@alchemyhouse]

@@JasonYadlovski yeah, I've been in contact with BM but they take a long time to get back and takes sometimes weeks to get through an issue. I found some info but thanks for the tip on the other gentleman. I built a 7.1.4 control room .. and figuring it out.

[@TheKocksmanArchives]

For each Track I have in Fairlight, there are TWO identical green timelines, when I edit one, both are affected. I think this is ugly and annoying, can anyone help me to make it so there is only one Green timeline for each audio track I have?

[@JasonYadlovski]

It's because you have a Stereo track, that is your right and left channels. You can change the track to a mono track, then you'll only see 1. But your track will be in mono vs stereo.

[@TheKocksmanArchives]

@@JasonYadlovski thank you so much, incredibly helpful and speedy response. Hope you are well.

[@strangenmacabre]

how do you delete a bus. I have been trying and no luck

[@JasonYadlovski]

Go into Fairlight, Then the Fairlight menu at the top, select Bus Format, select the bus you want to remove and then hit Remove.

[@strangenmacabre]

@Jason Yadlovski yeah that's what I thought, but for some reason it does not give me the option to do that. It shows the 2 bus. One of which is the second one that I want to delete and only has add bus, duplicate. The remove button is grayed out.

[@strangenmacabre]

Nvm I found out that the extra bus was created when I was turning on the feature the SEND feature on, in the dynamics window. It adds a extra bus and I didn't know that.. sorry. Lol. Thanks for your reply by the way

[@deacom8528]

Great video, and exactly the content I need, but wow, that hyper energie, I watched a few videos about other stuff from you, and that was amazing, so now that I wanted to learn more I clicked on this video. Sorry, I have a hard time following because of that hyper energie. I will definitely click on your videos again to learn more but this one I skip and go look somewhere else to explain it in a bit more chill way, you are amazing but this is not for me.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! I know my Jersey energy is a little too much for some. But that's ok. :)

[@mohanacharifilms]

please add timestamps if possible

[@JasonYadlovski]

If I have some time, I’ll add them in. Thanks for watching!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Just realized I had them in there, the first one was just incorrect so they weren’t popping up. They should all be there now. 😁👍

[@adee7546]

Good video, but please stop the tape while you're speaking, otherwise the voices overlap and we can't understand anything. Thank you.

[@JasonYadlovski]

👍

[@sottosopra4769]

Good tutorial but you gave me to much stress

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! Haha, too much stress? Just take it step by step, little by little. 😜

[@HoundDogMech]

Why can't U SOLO a BUS

[@JasonYadlovski]

I don't know, good question. You could solo just the channels going to the bus.

[@romeovliansang5592]

So complicate teaching so fast🚴三

[@JasonYadlovski]

In jersey we only have one speed - fast. 😜 if you put the video playback on half speed, it’ll probably sound more normal. 😁

[@romeovliansang5592]

It's really hard to understand for beginners 😢😢

[@plumberski8854]

Sorry, too wordy. Prefer straight to the point.
