@@marvinadam6998 Thanks for those great tutorials. I'm trying to manually sync up a couple of camera angles using audio waveforms (The auto align via waveform doesn't seem to work on this). In the Edit view, even when you remove the snap, it still kind of snap to the ruler when you zoom in and it's impossible to really slide your clip smoothly and put it exactly where you want. So I'm trying to do this in fairlight and it's not snapping allowing me to put the clip exactly where I want but my audio adds up a desynchronisation number beside the waveform. My question, in Fairlight, can I just move the audio and have the video move along? AND/OR in the Edit mode, can I truly move my clips without having them snapping to the ruler? Thanks for your great job!

[@theelectronomer2319]

It's funny, how KZbin has such amazing people like this that make such good and helpful videos... truly amazing.

[@JayLippman]

Wow, thank you!

[@colinmillward5353]

You are a superb presenter. Your video taught me more about Fairlight in seven minutes than an online course I've just completed. Thank you!

[@JayLippman]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@DavidVensland]

Yes please, more Fairlight stuff. My audio editing sucks and I am working on improving it. Thanks Jay!

[@JayLippman]

I've got a couple coming soon that you should really enjoy! Thanks for watching!

[@refraag]

I like what you did at the end with the audio presets

[@JayLippman]

Thanks!

[@shrinathc]

Very useful video. More in depth about Audio Pan will be really helpful.

[@JayLippman]

Thanks! It's on the list!

[@shrinathc]

I searched Pan in google for fair light and Never found anything useful so switched back to adobe audition. Thanks eagerly waiting for it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BlacktailStudio]

My G!!!! This is so good man! I thought you were going to upload later lol I’m so greatfull.! Keep the fairlight page going!! compressor, Panning video yes!!! I produce my own beats so all these tools are so helpful.! Dang I didn’t know the Sound library can save my own sdfx I create wow, I’m checking out Blackmagics FX now.! Thx for all your help J and congrats again man.!

[@JayLippman]

I've got 3 videos having to do with audio coming out throughout the next 3 weeks! Stay tuned! And thank you!

[@sandbilly100]

yes Panning video would be great.

[@derek_underwood]

Dude... Especially You & Billy, but Jason too, YALL MURDER IT WITH THESE THUMBNAILS!!!💣🔥 Along with LCG (The Color King) The DaVinci Fab 4 have the Resolve Niche LOCKED DOWN✔🔒

[@nicko5566]

Excellent content Jay!

[@JayLippman]

Thanks Nick! I appreciate it!

[@BWOne]

Always appreciate your videos as I learn something new about Davinci resolve every time!

[@JayLippman]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@zorrothebug]

oh boy! Finally someone to touch the Fairlight tab in Davinci Resolve. Big thank you! ❤️ I'm already subscribed for some time and cant wait to learn more about audio editing, tuning and effects. Especially curious to know about the compressor. Do I understand it right, that if a audio clip has a lot low noise sounds (e.g. speech) and some huge spikes you can raise this low sound without clipping the spikes?

[@JayLippman]

Sort of. I have a video coming out in a couple weeks that will explain my entire dialogue editing process. And I have one coming out this Friday that will show you step by step how to normalize audio for KZbin!

[@TriniWeekes]

i love these videos about fairlight

[@JayLippman]

Awesome!! More on the way!

[@BushMasterThermal]

Would like to see the In depth video on Spatial Audio in Fairlight. Ambisonic workflow?

[@aaronblock5070]

Thanks Mate, great tip with KZbin Lufs -14

[@JayLippman]

No problem 👍

[@rbroach68]

Great video! Several good tips that I didn't know about. I would definitely be interested in a video on the more detailed aspects of mixing for surround sound.

[@JayLippman]

It's on the list! Thanks for watching!

[@pauloroberto7875]

yes, surround sound is cool.

[@JayLippman]

It's on the list!

[@martins-ecke]

I'd love to see something on the panning tool =)

[@JayLippman]

I need to do a full Fairlight tutorial. When I do, I'll definitely be going over that.

[@hezekiahmorales3030]

Great quick and practical info! Thank you!!

[@JayLippman]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@mrkumaran]

Thank you good sir. I have subscribed

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Okay. This is a good tutorial. Now I'm going to look for your compressor tutorial. I edit a lot of Zoom talking heads. It seems that Zoom is often readjusting its gain leaving the voice audio on a rollercoaster ride. I hope you have a tutorial for this situation. Oh yes, now I'm *SUBSCRIBED!*

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

At 0:16 you say meters and then pan across the whole Resolve Fairlight interface. Not very enlightening. I'm very literal. Sorry. (Maybe on *THE SPECTRUM,* I don't know.) It would be much more useful to actually point out the meters to which you want us to know about. Yes, I know there are meters there; lots of meters. 1: Track meters: I know that they are. 2: M1 Meter: Don't know what that is for. 3: Control Room: I can guess or you could tell me. 4: Then there is the block of *"Loudness"* meters. You explain a little bit in your other tutorial but really don't do it justice. 4.1: Meter with *M* above it. What's that? 4.2: Meter with a dash above it. What's that? 4.3: Selector to the right of the world Loudness. I think this gives you a selection of standards but I don't know which to select for KZbin compliance or does it matter? Sorry to be a PIA, but it seems to be in my nature. Nobody else is covering these details, at least that I can find. You could be the first. I guess I'm going to go read the manual to see if it casts any light into this dark corner of a great free product. Still *SUBSCRIBED!*

[@JayLippman]

Thanks for the feedback Robert! I'll keep that in mind! To be honest I would have to go back and watch the video to see exactly what meters I'm referring to, but I get the gist of what you're saying.

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

@@JayLippman Thanks for the response ... and very quickly.

[@mikealike5000]

Bro very well done. Earned that sub

[@JayLippman]

Thank you!

[@TecThor]

This is a really great video! I will now go and watch your Fairlight Tutorials play list 😃 Panning Tool: I would love to see how to use it or what the workflow is. And finally: THANK YOU for recommending Film Crux! I listened in and just had to buy the bundle - what a great sound pack!

[@JayLippman]

I'll put the panning tool on the list! Thanks for watching!

[@barebones_]

Thankyou

[@rudolfabelin383]

Thanks Jay! There are not that many Fairlight videos. Thanks for the tip of Blackmagic sound effects. Do I remember correctly that you have a professional background in audio? As always, greetings from Sweden!

[@JayLippman]

Yes I do! But it's mostly on the music side. Took a little bit of tweaking to fully transfer over to audio for videos.

[@HoundDogMech]

Defiantly want anything on 5.1 Surround & Fairlight Busses. PLZ

[@JayLippman]

Its on the list!

[@realmisr]

Thanks Jay, I'm very much interested in seeing how you handle doing EQ, Dynamics, and Loudness for KZbin. I've watched more than a few videos already on it, but I've yet to get it to the efficiency i'd hope for even though i film from the same setup each time. For some reason, some videos just sound louder than others even though I'm not doing anything different...I've also run into cases where the sound actually sounds pretty identical to me in terms of loudness from the speaker, but 1 video would be a few Lufs lower...super odd for me.

[@JayLippman]

The loudness video is coming tomorrow, and the rest of it is coming in a couple weeks!

[@itspraveensharma]

This is helpful....

[@JayLippman]

I'm glad you think so!

[@FrancescoMucciFilmmaker]

Preach!

[@JayLippman]

LOL Thanks!

[@claudiopelissero6158]

Thanks, Jay great video. I'm curious how you use the Surround Pan Tools with Busses. Busses do not have the Pan tool, unfortunately. My understanding is that they only output to the L and R channels. What is for example I want to output a Bus to the Ls and Rs instead?

[@JayLippman]

You would have to do the surround sound panning in the original tracks. Just make sure that your tracks and your bus are a surround sound format, so the panning you do in the tracks reflect in the bus.

[@lenny_Videos]

Thanks for the great video :-) Is there a compare before/after button in the fair light tab. I mean to compare all the effects against no effects. Thanks in front

[@JayLippman]

I just answered this in the other video you commented on. I hope it helps!

[@lenny_Videos]

@@JayLippman thanx and sorry for the dubble question :-)

[@miguehaches4852]

Hi, great video. Question... I can plugin my arturia analog lab. Using my MIDi controller minilab I have been able to create incidental music by playing a few chords, so is very simple. Now if I wanted something multitrack and more elaborated to be created inside fairlight, is there a way to have a BPM grid?

[@mistermastermind528]

Are all these Fairlight features available on the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

[@minepine23]

after you do the Audition versus DaVinci Fairlight page, you should do After Effects versus DaVinci fusion page

[@JayLippman]

They're both on the list!

[@kristaylor7119]

Hey Jay, when it comes to recording audio what level do you have your camera gain? Currently I have the camera gain at 0db and the mic at -12db. Any recommendations here? PS appreciate you answering my questions.

[@JayLippman]

Hey Kris! I set my audio levels to peak at around -12db. The goal is always to have your preamps as low as possible (especially in cameras, because they're generally not that great), but every camera and every microphone is different, so you'll have to play around with it a bit.

[@rogercapell9657]

nice!! any clue how to invert phase of a single track? thx!!

[@JayLippman]

Of an entire track? Not that I'm aware of. I'll have to look into it.

[@rogercapell9657]

@@JayLippman well at first i thought it was outta phase as i had two tracks playing the same audio but from diferent mics, a lavalier mic and a shotgun mic, i was getting kinda robotic vocals with the sum of both tracks, then i realized that the shotgun was slightly out of sync so that caused the robotic voice...so problem solved, anyway i searched about phase invert and found nothing...seems that you need to have their fairlight console or any hardware related to it to do more advanced adjustments i believe...

[@lockdot2]

what are the 10 tools you need? jk I watched the vid. nice vid Jay!

[@JayLippman]

😂😂😂 thanks!

[@JWalking]

Why would you add 2 dialog tracks to the same person (unless your doing some kind of sfx)?

[@JayLippman]

L cuts and just cuts. Makes it easier to remove unwanted gaps in the dialog

[@jagannarayanasamy6467]

Dude where did u learn all these ??

[@JayLippman]

The DaVinci Resolve manual, and a lot of random button pushing lol

[@hectorf4610]

where's the audio pan tool?

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Yeh i click on EQ and get a black blank fucking equalizer screen.
