[@phucmapvlog]

That EQ trick is new to me! What's your go-to db level for the background music on a talking head video? (after lowering the frequency around your voice)

[@dylanjohndickerson]

It actually depends. Some songs seem to be more intrusive than others. Usually I'll go to around -21 to -30 though.

[@TomKaszuba]

Superb presentation.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Thanks so much, Tom 😊

[@Hobby-tripInfo]

Everything is explained very well and very helpful video.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

Incredibly useful and I used this today to integrate voiceover with background music whilst softening my voice. Much to learn, but a big improvement all round.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching and commenting 👊🏼

[@FotografMariaEkblad]

Thank you for all the good tips! I've been getting comments that I should EQ my podcasts videos, but I don't know anything about it, so this was so helpful. 😀

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Happy it helped 😊 thanks for commenting!

[@stevewelsh__]

Another great video with really usable techniques, thanks Dylan. Another tip I use to get that ‘podcast voice’ effect, is by enabling the 10 band eq, adding a boost around 250 and a reasonable dip at 500 for that radio production feel.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Nice nice! Thanks for the kind words, Steve 🙏🏼

[@HoppeTravelDiaries]

Super helpful Dylan

[@dylanjohndickerson]

[@MekeniKev]

Hey Dylan, this helped a lot! what suggestions would you have with gameplay audio to make it sound better with dialogue audio?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Stoked that it helped out! Well you could do that channel EQ trick. Carve out some space for your dialogue in the gameplay audio

[@coachpeterwilliam]

Wow, number 1 already blew my mind

[@CalliesBricks]

Oustanding tips - thank you so much! Do you have a (quick) way to remove breath sounds when editing? I can hear myself intake breath when recoding on a DJI pocket 3 with a mic 2 and I remove these manually at the moment. If there was a quick way to do this, it would save me a massive amount of time. Thanks again. Subscribed and looking forward to learning more.

Hi Dylan, I have 10.8 and I cannot make crossfades. No space in between clips. Also tried your tip to select 2 clips and use option T. I hear tuuut and thats it, no fade. What I am I doing wrong? Thanks, Frans/Bali 😀

[@Stummpmusic]

Can we get studio quality from using software off an iPhone? I got MPC beats with Akai mini mpk but trying to see if I can use my iPhone instead of a laptop. Also if I can get MPC quality from recording on my phone. I can't seem to get an answer from anywhere!!

[@swaysedits]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@dylanjohndickerson]

You are so welcome!

[@PNWMOTION]

Your back drop and overall setup is dope, not the typical "KZbinr" look.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Loved to hear this! What a compliment. I just set everything up so I'm glad to hear people think it looks good.

[@willoolliw]

Thanks for your help! What dB do you usually try to set your voice audio at? I go -6, just curious about others

With mTransition Paper Rip 🤘🏼 geni.us/mTransitionPaperRip If you're looking to pick it up, you can use the code DYLANJOHN to get 10% off 😊

[@SeoulMan2020]

Very helpful vid! Thank you! With voice isolation, have you run across this quirk? I use a GH6 with Rode Wireless (1st gen). When I upload the video to FCP there is no voice isolation option for the clip. Once I make the clip into a compound clip, the voice isolation option is available. Any idea why this happens? Thank you!

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Ah yes, that definitely does happen. Usually I just make the clip into a compound clip. Annoying, yes. But a quick solution.

Yes you could have stopped with the first EQ tip and I would be overjoyed... watching further :)

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Glad you enjoyed it, Coach!

[@vinylaj3487]

Hello dylan, what program do you use to record the final cut?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Hey! I use Cleanshot X

[@vinylaj3487]

@@dylanjohndickerson Thanks bro

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

What do you do when you have 1 hr video? Do you let it analyse for the full hour? How would i know then what to fix?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Do you have recordings where you're moving in and out of different environments or recording with different mics? If not, you should be okay with just making the adjustments to that hour long clip

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

@@dylanjohndickerson unfortunately, yes. It's a tutorial video, in a room, on a my desk but because it's filmed in different days, the sound is very different on each clip....loud in some, lower or very low in other. Sometimes the microphone is on the left, sometimes is on the right... :) Anyway, thank you for your answer and I wanted to say you are so cute when you do those jokes and it looks like you are a bit ashamed of making those jokes....so cute and fun!! Your videos are great, between the best, but when I look for something specific, it's very difficult to find what I'm looking for, as it might be in a video of "the 5 best...." or "10 things you need to know".

[@dylanjohndickerson]

@@Dollectable_Dreams Ahh I see, well if they're different clips, then you could apply the same adjustments and then tweak the adjustments to fit each clip. Thanks so much 🥹 I really appreciate that. And so true, I'm sorry about that. I've gotten to the point where now if I post a very specific video like that, I'll get tons of unsubscribes. If you look through my older content, you'll find a lot of specific videos that may help out though.

[@yourlegacyfilmmaker]

I downloaded the free trial of DeRoom but it cuts my audio...how do you fix that problem?

Another information packed, fluff-free video Dylan! Minor point: when you referred to the db settings in the compressor effect you spoke of "3 to 6 db." It is actually -3 to -6. Otherwise another video worth hitting the like button with information I will be using shortly! THANKS!!😁

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Thanks for watching James! I suppose I should've said 'the needle should only be moving 'down' 3 to 6 decibels instead of 'up' 3 to 6 decibels. My mistake!

[@johnnyweissmuller5838]

For tip 1, I would smooth out the bell curve a bit, its pretty sharp in your example

[@dylanjohndickerson]

I ended up doing that after the recording but even with a tiny bit of sharpness, the change was minimal. Thanks for your suggestion.
