3 Tips to REMOVE Audio Background NOISE in DaVinci Resolve 18 (Free & Studio)

[@marblERkin]

I'm actually so happy rn, all the tutorials are showing that restoration method which doesn't work. I thought I was the only one until I came across this video, where the first tutorial worked very well. It's so annoying how most content creators try to not go into more advanced methods because they want to make easy videos. Thanks so much! This video should definitely be higher in the search rankings.

[@JasonYadlovski]

😁👍

[@QrooSpanish]

Great video. I used the voice isolator to remove -- or at least reduce -- a creaky chair sound that I discovered after filming. I don't use that chair anymore.

As a complete noob, I was using voice isolation incorrectly. Great video, love your examples/presentation/pacing. Thanks for the help for us creators just trying to get the job done :).

[@JasonYadlovski]

[@TheRealBarkinMadd]

Voice isolation is great for removing noise in dialog tracks but when the noise is in a music or other track, you need another mechanism - what do you use then, Jason. Thanks.

[@Retset]

Great tips. My tip for free users, if they have an Nvidia RTX, is to record using Nvidia Broadcast (only for recording directly into the PC). Works really well although it can cause a pop now and again needing the odd bit re-recorded

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! And Thanks for sharing that tip!

[@NevadaJack]

Great overview and examples. Voice isolation is fantastic, I use it quite often as I film in restaurants and such. Just like your car traffic example, I want some of the background noise but not all. One bug, or it might be by design, still exists with voice isolation is in nested timelines. When nesting a timeline into another timeline the primary timeline voice isolation takes precedence, thus any voice isolation in the nested timeline isn't applied.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! Interesting about the timeline in a timeline, I'll have to look into that a bit...

This is the video for me! Thanks heaps Jason. As you know, wind noise in the motorcycle helmet really kills a motorcycle video. I've already had a go using your tips from the "How to fix muddy dialogue" and now I desperately need to follow on from that to your Voice Isolation info...but first I need the usd $295 ☺

[@JasonYadlovski]

I hear ya on the wind noise! I started riding with ear plugs years ago because the wind got to be too much.....or it could be from riding 2-stroke MX bikes all the time until I was 20 years old w/ no ear protection. 😜 But yeah, I think Voice Isolation would help a ton. Totally worth the price of $295. There might be some deals coming up around the holidays and black Friday.

[@FrankPloegman]

Thanks Jason! I didn’t know about the Gate/Expander. While the Voice Isolation function may achieve the optimal result, frequency based solutions can work very well if the background noise is in a different frequency range as the dialogue. I had a dialogue track with much air conditioning noise recently. I managed to get rid of all noise by tapering off frequencies below 800 Hz and above 2500 Hz. It’s the same trick you explained in your recent video about blending dialogue and music, but this time applied to the dialogue track and the EQ is vertically mirrored.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! The expander and gate are great. That's great that you found some other ways to deal with the noise. I think it takes a combination of techniques sometimes. The more tools you've got to try the better.

[@milezeroisland]

I haven't been able to find gate in the free version of 18.

[@JasonYadlovski]

@milezeroisland go in to Fairlight and open mixer, then the dynamics panel and you’ll see a gate on the lower left-hand side. It’s in the free version also.

[@milezeroisland]

I noticed you clicked on an icon below Effects in the mixer to open dynamics, but I don't see that icon, even after expanding the Davinci interface. I see dynamics listed in the Effects menu with a sub menu showing the de-esser, de-hummer, and noise reduction, but not that dynamics panel showing the expander and gate. I'm going to check again.

[@milezeroisland]

I mean dynamics shows the sub menu with Limiter, Multiband Compressor, and Soft Clipper. I checked again and don't see the area you clicked on to open the dynamics Panel. Under Effects, it shows Audio 1, then RSM , then an automation icon, then the meter. I'll keep looking.

[@FlyingJackalope]

Great video Jason. I am about to do some recording of an interview with my father inside his very loud hot rod. Any tips for dealing with that super loud engine ahead of time?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! I'd say have the car running but maybe not for the whole interview. Maybe talk about the car, then fire it up at the end or give a teaser of the sound in the beginning. If it's too loud, it might mess with the dialogue being clear enough. That said if the car is running, try and get the mic as close to your dad as possible and keep the recording level on the low side to hopefully help reduce the car noise. If you have Studio, Voice isolation should help remove the car a bit or at least make it quieter in post. A directional mic would help too if you have one. Hope this helps!

[@FlyingJackalope]

@@JasonYadlovski Thanks. It's a mix of interviews kind of like Leno's Garage. I already have a sit down interview but want a little more while he's driving to point stuff out, etc.

[@embedded_tourist]

Thanks for the many useful insights into what is possible in audio quality improvements. I have a complex situation for you to consider: I film a lot of long bicycle rides with a GoPro in the Netherlands. I have wind mike noise I'd like to be rid of, as well as the road rumble of my tires and the sound of my own breathing. But, the sound of the wind in the trees and the birds singing - I've recorded just to listen to the birds. Must keep. If I lived where there were waterfalls, I'd want to keep those too. Stuff to ponder. Maybe I'll see some tips in a future video.

Great video, thanks for the info. Sadly I don't have the studio version to remove a very bad noise from a cable.

@@JasonYadlovski I'm playing with it now. I'll let you know. 👍

[@movie-trailer19]

Great. Still, analyze the work of standard noise reduction in a separate video. There are two modes and it sometimes works as well as other tools. Voice Isolation in large projects loads the system. Currently it is not as optimized as other tools. Thanks

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! VO can load things down a bit for sure. I only use it when I really need it. Most of the time I've only got low noise levels so an expander works perfect.

[@Living-in-AtlantaGA]

Amazing. I have the Studio version. Thank you so much. OMG how easy it was to remove all that background noise. I was doing a new construction neighborhood so a lot of background..noise...all removed in the inspector with voice isolation!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Jason when I upload my files from my computer the moment they are transferred into davinci 18.6 this program is modifying my video color...it adds a lot of light...makes my hair white instead of gold blonde...Do you have a video on that? What botton should I press to keep the original file colors?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! Glad the video was helpful! Sounds like you might need to change the color management settings. They will changed based on the camera you used to record and the colorspace that camera used. What are you recording on?

Awesome, that’s fantastic to hear! Glad I could be of assistance. Best of luck with your kids project! 😁👍

[@stanuc2utube]

First off your channel is great and I've subscribed. Question - when you apply this to the clip does it just effect the clip or the entire timeline the clip is on? Why I ask this is I've applied the equalizer to a clip from one of your tutorials. The entire time line audio track has now been effected by this equalization.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! Welcome to the community! Depending on how you apply the EQ will dictate the results. If you select a clip, open the inspector and use the EQ for that clip, it will only affect that clip. If you jump into fairlight and use the EQ in the mixer, that will affect the entire track. Just depends on what you want to do. Ideally if you have different audio sources or locations it was filmed in, you can separate that out into different tracks and then use the Mixer EQ to apply EQ to that entire track. Does that help?

[@torrvic1156]

Thank you so much for your lessons, Jay! Learned it the hard way about Noise Reduction. It is very bad and not suppressing my mouse clicks at all but make my dialogue sound weird. Expander worked pretty good for me and I always prefer it to the Gate. Can you tell if a dialogue track should always be mono or there are some cases when it can be stereo? I found that it kind of a bit disputable question.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! in general, Dialog is on a mono track. But you can certainly use a stereo track too if you want. In fact, I use a stereo track pretty often, only because I don't change the track to mono. 😜 You can get great results either way.

[@navtisaniki5761]

Hey, thanks for the video! I had tried isolating the voice but simply don't have the voice iso button activated. I went to fairlight fx> mixer> visible track fx and the only options available were dialogue leveler and ducker. What can I do to activate the voice isolation?

[@GRiNGO-ADV]

Hi Jason! thanks for the informative videos! Is it possible to use the Expander and Gate for individual clips or only full audio timeline tracks? I could only do the whole track. I’m trying to reduce airplane noise from a camping video which is a bit higher db than your example and intermittently in clips vs constant. best!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! You can only use the expander/gate on a track level. If you want to apply it to certain clips, just add those clips into a new track and then use the expander/gate.

[@ballkd1]

Thanks Jason. Touched a bit of Resolve here and there with your vids as a guide. Now I see that the audio section would be up next, it’s good time to make a decision about the best way to upgrade to the Studio version. I know the company likes to sell hardware also as an upgrade path to the Studio version of Resolve: So given that--What piece of editing hardware-like controls that are easier and faster to use than a keyboard-would be the best bang for the buck, if an upgrade to Resolve Studio was included for a serious hobbyist? Thanks, and thanks for the great vids😊

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! I know a lot of people use the speed editor and love it. I've never used that and I don't use the cut tab so much, so for me I might look at the DR Keyboard. Currently I don't have any other BMD tools, I just use a regular keyboard and mouse. I use a Wacom tablet sometimes, but mainly for photos.

What are your thoughts about getting the new ones over the older? Are the DT 770’s tight around the ear or cause any discomfort?Thank you!!!!

[@JasonYadlovski]

The DT 770s are super comfy, I like them a lot. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

[@jeffepstein228]

@@JasonYadlovski Thank you very much Jason for your time and answer. Great to hear about the 770s. I did try the DT700 and as they were comfortable to a point they had too much clamping force where I was feeling discomfort on the soft tissue part by the ears. I had to return them. So, I am hearing that the DT770 has sort of the same clamping force. It seems that it’s not a problem for you on the clamping force, but not sure if it would be for me. I might give them a go and see as a second pair of headphones. I happened to try on the Sterling Audio S452 headphones at Guitar Center and they were comfortable. So, I ordered one and no problems with clamping force and they sound great for me. Not an expert like you in sound to describe them as you would but so far I am loving them.

[@bertrinkel9365]

Thanks Jason, If I do not want to keep the settings throughout the track (but most of it), should I put that clip on another track?

[@wcastill1]

Thanks for the helpful video about the VOICE ISOLATION feature in DaVinci Resolve Studio. It's unfortunate that this sound editing tool is not part of the sound editing features found in the free version of this excellent non-linear editing software. A question about the Voice Isolation feature. If I just want to apply this feature to 1 clip, will I have to use a whole new video / audio channel in order to just apply Voice Isolation to that 1 clip and not affect the audio for the other clips on the main Video / Audio Channel #1? From what I can see, the Voice Isolation feature automatically applies to all clips that are using the same specific Audio Channel.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You’re welcome! When it comes to the voice, isolation tool, you can apply to a single clip or an entire track. It’s up to you, but it can work either way.

[@rangerhawk]

I found a quirk with voice isolation. Not sure if it existed in previous versions. I'm currently using the Public Beta v19.4. Anyway, what I found is on some audio clips the voice isolation switch was not appearing. I found that if I went into attributes for the clip, change whatever multichannel format it is on (stereo-5.1 whatever) to mono, change the focus so inspector is looking at any other clip and then back, the isolation switch becomes available. Once it is enabled and set up the way you like it, you can go back into attributes and change the audio format back to whatever it was.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Interesting, nice find! I haven’t had that issue but could certainly be a bug. 👍 thanks for sharing that!

[@SCDurbois]

Hi Jason! That was really helpful, thank you. QUESTION for you: how do I clean up 'Room Tone.' In my case, there is a high-pitched buzzing in the background. I almost wonder if it came from the recording equipment itself. The "expander & gate" method helped a lot, but I'm wondering if you have a technique more targeted to room tone. Thanks for your help! ~ Shayla

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I’d use a touch of voice isolation if you have studio. If you don’t and it’s actually from the recording equipment, there’s an effect called the De-Hummer. I’ve got a video on it and you can give that a try, it might help. You could also try the noise reduction effect that is in the free version although typically it doesn’t work so great.

[@DJ_Media]

Thanks for sharing. I work a lot with live Music and unfortunately I’ve found DR just isn’t where Adobe Audition is with its visual representation of noise. I edit the films in DR because of the amount of time I spent trouble shooting in Premier, but Fair light just isn’t where Audition is for audio production… yet 🤞🏽

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! Voice Isolation will be first in the signal order, so you'd want to work with the EQ to remove the nastyness in the clip after using the voice isolation. That's where I'd start, with a little EQ.

[@BioPrimula]

Hi, I'm getting the voice isolation on the entire track even when selecting just one clip. What am I missing here to separate individual clips with severe wind noice? I don't want the effect on the entire track. Secondly is resolves own effect now on par with the one from wavelab you showed a year ago? Thanks for great videos on DV Resolve!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! I'm going to say that maybe the track is selected and not just the clip is selected when you're applying the Voice Isolation. It's easy to not notice that the track is selected. If you continue to have problems, I'd drop the clips into a new track and see if that helps. The built in Voice Isolation in Resolve is on part with Waves Clarity VX, they are very similar and either will work great in most situations.

[@BioPrimula]

My mistake. Activating voice isolation on individual clip has to be done in the inspector. I marked a clip but used the activation on the mixer, whis is the entire sound track. Learning by trial and error 😅.

[@krishchandran4125]

Hi Jason I have a question for you. I am a bird photographer. I like to take short videos of the birds which often includes them calling. Usually I am out with a couple of other photographers (DSLR shooters) and invariably I end up recording their rat-at-tat shutter sounds along with bird calls, making them quite unusable. Any tips on how to remove that in DaVinci Resolve (I currently use the free version)?

[@JasonYadlovski]

I don’t think you can easily remove it, I would just grab some audio where there is only the sounds you want and use that to replace the audio in the section you don’t want.

[@DigitalMastery]

How can I apply voice isolation by default so I don't have to turn it on for every single project. My projects are very consistent and wish I could automate stuff like this. I also always have the exact same intro and outro clip that I'd like to have automatically added and set the timeline starting timecode to 00 always. So if there's any way you could do something about automation or default settings that could tackle any of those ideas, I'd really enjoy it.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You can create a project template and have that be the default for every new project you create. In that Template, you can set up a few tracks and include any settings/presets you might want. That's what I'd do.

[@VegasSlotsVP]

Can you advise me on what to use in my case? I have a slot channel. Sometimes the copyrighted music is so loud I cannot get it down enough to not hit the copyright warning on KZbin. I am using Capcut Pro and have worked for 2 days to eliminate the extremely loud music and keep my voice and conversation. As you know KZbin has an eraser onboard now but it does not always work with the songs that come up on my videos. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! If you are trying to reduce or remove the music from behind you, I'd use voice isolation in Resolve to get rid of it - assuming the dialogue and the music are baked into he same audio track. But yeah, don't want to get copyright warnings on KZbin.

Hi Jason, excellent as always! My problem is this third case, I have the Studio, when I record the air conditioning generates a lot of background noise and I don't want to lose the sound of the pieces in the video. NR never worked for me either and I'm going to test Voice isolation at 20%. If it doesn't work, are there any other tools or plugins you recommend checking out?

Edit 2: i found it, what was happening is rhat there is an audio 1 panel covering all the tools for some rwndom reason, and it cant be removed, but you can still see the first 2 effects above it, you'll just need to deselect those effects until dynamics is unhiddin :)

Is the crackling present from the original recording or is it something you’re hearing after the fact? Is it electrical line interference or something similar? You could try voice isolation if you have studio, that might help.

[@Narwal88]

@@JasonYadlovski The cracking is not on the original. I've tried many different things that I've found online, nothing worked. My provisional conclusion is that it might have to be with some plug-in that I used that has since expired. Alternatively, it could be the presence of too many plug-ins, which slows down the system and causes glitches. Since I'm not sure, I've gone back to an earlier version of the video, with no crackling, and started from there. I lost some time, but it's not the end of the world...

Great video Thank you...

You’re welcome!

Nice job!

Thansk!

No porblem!

wow helpfull ❤‍🔥

[@invisi-bullexploration2374]

My problem is I have a larger nose. My nasal exhales show up LOUD. I can't seem to figure out an easy way to get rid of them. I have a boom mic I use for VOs that gets rid of it 100% But audio from where I recorded onto my gopro while on site? Pure trash.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Have you tried voice isolation?

[@TheBibleInHebrew]

Thanks

[@JasonYadlovski]

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

[@fp30e]

When I click on the three dots I dont get any menu, Mine is a new install, perhaps they dont do it now .

[@Drie237]

Thank you

[@arthurpolin8194]

Still not clear on how to add voice isolation to a single clip. Please elaborate.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Select the clip, open the inspector, click the audio section at the top of the inspector, turn on voice isolation. Then it's on only that clip. 👍

[@jaysondronaarts]

Hopefully we can remove high background noise in free version

[@JasonYadlovski]

There s a few methods to try, hopefully one will work.

[@thaaer_shaabo3130]

thank you man ♥

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome!

[@weshootfilms]

The voice isolation button works but its not always dependable it comes in and out at times

[@JasonYadlovski]

For anything I've tried it on, I haven't seen that issue, but I'm sure it happens. Sometimes you just can't apply too much of the effect because it will cause artifacting or weird things like what you mentioned....

[@weshootfilms]

@@JasonYadlovski even if I apply less than half you hear it coke in and off must be my system

[@NordsternOutdoor]

What if my audio isn't someones voice? Say a nature recording, but I have a noisy pre-amp.

[@despasdesfigures]

Your are the best...

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks!

[@eie_for_you]

Got it!

[@JasonYadlovski]

😁👍

[@estia_productions]

Why do I not have that fairlight down there? I cn't do anything of what you say in the free version because I don't have that menu

[@JasonYadlovski]

If you don’t see the Fairlight icon, go to the workspace menu at the top of the screen and you can also find it there. There is an option to show or hide the different tabs along the bottom of the screen. Off the top of my head, I think that’s also in the workspace menu.

[@WakeupDev.]

My mic has a humming sound and I've tried everything to remove it but can't get it out of the audio. I'll just have to upload it that way sadly

[@JasonYadlovski]

Is it electrical line noise? There's an effect in Resolve called De-Hummer and it will remove electrical noise if that's what it is.

[@WakeupDev.]

@JasonYadlovski I tried this after your comment. It didn't it though, but I realize the thing isn't as bad as I thought now that the video has been published. Thank you for the assistance

[@TonysComfortKitchen]

In my experience the voice isolater only works on audio that accompanies video. It doesn't seem to allow for audio from a separate input, like for instance a voiceover. Not sure if there is a workaround for that

[@JasonYadlovski]

Interesting, it should work just fine on that audio too. My audio is recorded separately and it works for me...🤔

[@overthehillmountainbiking]

@@JasonYadlovski admittedly it was a while ago that I tried it. There have been many updates since. I will retry this and let you know. Up until now I have been forced to use Adobe Podcast

very nice

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks

[@embedded_tourist]

Is there a way to remove just the voices?

[@JasonYadlovski]

If you have Studio, you can try using the music remixer or the dialogue separator to try and remove the voices.

[@FruityAvocado]

ive watched this video three times and the camel scares me everytime lol

[@JasonYadlovski]

😂 sorry about that, but thanks for watching 3 times! 😁😜👍

[@lenavoyles526]

You can use Noise Reduction in the free version to get rid of continuous noise like an air conditioner.

[@JasonYadlovski]

It can certainly work. 👍

[@Strega4646]

I dont understand. Im only showing A1 and BUS1 despite troubleshooting it multiple times.

[@JasonYadlovski]

I'm confused, do you only have 1 audio track? And bus1 is the main out.

[@haroldmorganTulsa]

You missed the De-Hummer.

[@JasonYadlovski]

That could work, but that effect is really intended for electrical interference noise in a recording due to bad cables or improper grounding.

[@soccorsoinformatico]

How remove ECho?

[@JasonYadlovski]

You can try voice isolation but you may need something like waves De-Reverb
