Dude, this tutorial was immensely useful. I've been slicing and dropping db on my music tracks manually, like a crazy person. Keep up the good work!

This is a lifesaver. thanks, jamie

[@BornWildStillWild]

Wow, this is a lifesaver! I make travel videos and background music is a must. It takes me forever to go through all the music and speech, cut the tracks, and adjust volume. Gonna try this out, thanks for the very helpful video!

[@JamieFenn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BornWildStillWild]

@@JamieFenn Just used it on my latest video and it saved me a ton of time! However, there are places in the video where the music kicks back in (as it should) but there is speech right after so it gets ducked again. The pause at this place is much longer than what the release threshold is set to (and I don't want to increase the threshold any further). Also, at one point, the music gets ducked even when there is no speech. Is there any way to manually adjust parts of the ducking without splitting the music track into multiple clips? Something similar to how speed points in the retime controls work?

[@SoNowWhat]

Wow - so much to learn - to be honest, it’s intimidating!

[@JamieFenn]

Don't feel intimidated! At first you may think that but its actually quite easy. Practice!

[@saadshah7857]

As Jamie said in one of his live streams, just learn the basics first, learn to crawl. Then build on that knowledge slowly, and you will be walking and then running! It's only hard when you first start.. it gets easier as you build your skills :)

What's up Davici Daddy. Nice vid! Fun fact: Audio ducking and side chain compression, although referred to interchangeably, are not the same thing. Ducking attenuates the audio signal by a specified range where side chain compression attenuates variably, as shown here. Cool stuff!

[@lawrenceanthony8187]

thanks

[@JamieFenn]

No prob

[@reginaldworthington7558]

Good vid Jamie, thanks. One thing you can do to take this a step further is gain staging. I noticed after you set your source track levels you had a lot of signal pegging your mains meters on the way out. A lot of these plug-ins have a ‘sweet spot’ for input levels (and that would include the compressors built in to Resolve likely) of around -12-18dB. So getting those levels at the right dB before you go into the ducking exercise will help the whole process. Plus your brick-wall limiter on stereo out will likely have less heavy load to deal with at the end of the chain. Cheers.

[@JamieFenn]

Hmm interesting. In my process the limiter on the master barely gets touched if any at all doing it this way for me.

[@reginaldworthington7558]

Jamie Fenn somewhere in your process you must back down the source track levels then or just ride the master fader down. That will do the job as well but it’s quite possible the signals are a bit topped going into the compressor if as hot as they appeared to be in the vid. Just thought it was worth a mention.

[@DavidPower]

Nice job, Jamie! I'm curious, have you ever experimented with "look ahead" so the compressor eases into lowering the music track volume, rather than jumping suddenly as soon as the voiceover kicks in?

[@JamieFenn]

Unfortunately there's no look ahead on the limiters or compressors in DR yet.

[@marcuch]

Great tutorial, thanks a lot!

[@JamieFenn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@abstuber1000]

Fantastic tutorial! In the past I had forgotten to normalise audio of an interview before I started to cut it up. What's the best way to normalise all of those clips? I ended up just using compressor and hard limiter effects on the whole track to tune in the audio.

[@JamieFenn]

Depends on the audio track. I did a part 1 on how to get a good sounding vocal track, and so you'll have to just listen with your ears to balance things out throughout the video. using slight compression on the master with a limiter will help bring up and get consistent volume to some extent. But I usually just use a limiter as a safety net.

[@ifoxino]

amazing this is a huge help. thank you!

[@JamieFenn]

So glad you found it helpful! Peoples voiceovers in videos tend to lack sometimes so enjoy!

Hello thank you for your video. I have a question, how to do with more than one send and for track receivers be affected only by a particular send but not all the send ? Sorry for my english.

[@alexalex444454]

Hi Jamie, now in Fairlight 16 the Loudness panel shows several standard in that 3 dots, like EBU R 128 that i think is standard broadcast tv loudness because is -23 but i read that standard loudness for youtube is -13. Because that i set up loudness EBU R 128 that is equal to -23 to reach integrated + 10 because -23+10lufs = -13 that i supossed be the standard for youtube. The problem is when i set up loudness in this way my master in my mix reach red all the time and not yellow. Should i trust in loudness EBU R 128(-23) +10 integrated for final results -13 or just trust mix in main master to be in yellow? loudness is a good topic for many people.

[@JamieFenn]

Loudness is tough. It depends on the video I think but I usually just try to do what I describe in the video.

Los 3 diálogos que ya he enviado al auxiliar, debo enviarlos a su ves al máster? Y la salida auxiliar dónde está la reverb también debo enviarlo al máster? Cómo sería el flujo de señal para administrar correctamente esos tracks? Gracias.

How to change from Male to female voice in resolve??

[@juukame]

Is it necessary to add a limiter if you're already normalizing the audio at the outset? If normalizing places the highest peak at say -2 db then isn't that already ensuring you won't get any clipping?

[@JamieFenn]

After compression it may still clip.

Jamie Fenn I did, maybe I missed that specifically geared towards music. Will rewatch, keep up the great audio related content.

fIlms by nine I said you could bring up the high pass higher if you’re a female. It all depends on the voice itself.

[@MrDarkzohar]

Great videos, when I do voice over, I can notice the transition in audio between where there is a recording, and where there is a blank. when it is blank there is zero audio and when I record there is always some amount of microphone noise. Do you have a video that shows how to correct that? thank you!!!

[@JamieFenn]

Put a very low background room noise or something behind the voice.

[@ThatSkiFreak]

For me if the audio from the send track ends, and then just after the hold time has run out, starts again (when I pause in speaking for a bit), when I stop talking again even for a shorter time than the hold duration the audio on the listening track will spike up a lot. This is quite annoying and is causing me some issues and forcing me to set a longer hold duration than I would otherwise want, any ideas on how to fix this?

I know this vid is a few years old but there are a couple issues with it. First, you refer to one of your audio tracks as "audio." They're both audio. Second, the tracks aren't labeled which is bad form. I couldn't get much out of this because I was trying to figure out which track and clip you're using instead of just following along and absorbing. It would be much better to label the tracks as DIA and MUSIC then refer to both of them thusly.

noted. thanks.

This still is pretty shitty and you can hear the music going up and down. I just EQ the song to lower the frequencies where the voice is, around 1,25k. To the best of my knowledge, this is what actual films do when there's music and voices or other sounds you want to be able to hear. Hope it helps someone as much as it did me.
