How to REMOVE Microphone BLEED Between Microphones | Pro Tips for Podcasters & Filmmakers

[@jer3006]

Took me several days to figure out my 2-person interview that used dual LAV mics for the first time was not a channel separation problem in Resolve, but was mic bleed. And here you come to my rescue once again. Ironically, previously, my interview videos used one mic and I was depending on microphone bleed and not realizing it. 🤣🤣 Thank you for these bleed elimination tips.

Very nice and happy to see the checkeredboard as your result. I always prefer to get the bleed down to zero or just press D for deselect instead of deleting. To use the blade instead of cmd B is a great idea! Thank you so much, Jason!

Jason, you're my "go-to guru" for Resolve audio. Subbed for a long time and this video is just another reason why. Great stuff.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks so much! Doing my best to bring some good info to the people. 😜

[@CrosscutFilmsSask]

@@JasonYadlovski I do have a question though - would you use room tone on a seperate track dropped several dB just to even out the audio?

[@wakuyanow]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm happy to see others found it as useful as I do. Seeing you work the expander and gate was helpful. I also liked how you made cuts and then later, all at once, made deletions or just lowered the volume. That will save time. I would have never thought to do that. Finishing it off with crossfade transitions is also a great idea.

Love your explanations.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video and your expertise. I'm new to long form interviews and had a terrible issue with this.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You’re welcome, glad the video was helpful!

Thank you, Jason. Our church is looking to start up a podcast in September. This is perfect timing for this video. I purchased 4 x Rode Podmics, so hopefully it will help reduce the bleeding.

One thing that Resolve misses is a silence remover, that physically deletes audio events under a certain dB. I manipulate audio a lot, including timing, so this function would save me hours on each project. It's a pretty standard function for most DAWs.

[@mrbritish]

Perfect, I was dealing with this exact issue recently. Thanks!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome!

[@MarkusPalcer-u9m]

Do you also have a solution for when two people talk at the same time which means that the bleed will be in the background of the signal we actually want to hear...

[@JOATJESSE]

If you don't have a question then give a like and leave a comment. When people upload information to share knowledge for free then it's the least anyone can do. As always, great information. My first resolve edited video published last week is pretty pathetic but it turned out better because I had watched a few of your videos as I went. Much appreciated!

[@JasonYadlovski]

I appreciate you!

[@BoltonFinancialCoaching]

They already have speaker recognition, so they should be able to automate this soon! Ideally, you should also be able to edit from transcript and split a single mic into multiple audio tracks by speaker.

[@brianknight7208]

Thanks!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate it!

Total editing newb here. What is the best method to use when you are in a podcast setting and get mic bleed when multiple subjects are speaking at the same time, and it’s not as easy to isolate the areas in the wave form where bleed is occurring because you don’t have one person silent while the other is talking? I’m assuming Expander/Gate applied to each audio file?

[@JasonYadlovski]

You got it, I’d work with the gate/expander and see if you can get that to work.

[@supermansjs]

@@JasonYadlovskiwill do! Thanks!

[@MrTink_]

Don't know if you noticed or not, but the "blur" on the video is gone between 11:00 and 11:09. Just in case you didn't want those girls in the video to be seen on KZbin.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! 👍

[@TACTICALNOMAD]

👉🏼FIRST!👈🏼

[@JasonYadlovski]

Yeah buddy!

[@vrodionov_pro]

Thanks, but its dont working on real podcast or cinema. Because u dont have true isolated moments. In many places people do short words or talking in same time. This is how live speach working. U need use special utilites like rx izotope bleed. It analize original audio and bleed-maker audio, then remove it with ai. I think it a only way do it normaly, not with hands on each fragment

[@JOATJESSE]

If AI is doing it then it should be possible to manually tweak as well. Since AI isn't magic, it's logic based, you would need to understand the tools at your disposal and apply the necessary adjustments. Now, does the AI do it quicker, probably. Is it accurate, depends on how well it was programmed. I think it could apply to podcasts if multiple microphones picked up the audio in foreground and background. Please excuse my weak explanations. Editing software is extremely new to me but software/system development is my professional...however there is very little from the aerospace which is applicable to video/audio editing. Good point to expand on the use cases because a beginner like me wouldn't know when to apply this technique over other options. You don't know what you don't know, right?
