If I want to add voice isolation to reduce noise reduction effect use it at the end or before the eq, etc ..

[@JasonYadlovski]

The Voice Isolation is always applied at the beginning of the signal chain. You can't change that....

[@Mohamedmohamed98138]

Okay thanks so much for answer

[@TimetoTalkwithYevgen]

That's what we small KZbinrs need! Thanks!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You bet!

[@fazubattlecaster]

It is fun watching you do these. A lot of it is magic to me though.

[@Lokmansouhail]

Awesome video as always Jason🔥

[@MikeKeller]

This was great! The longer I watched, though, the more questions I have about "what is that button/control" and "how did that affect the audio?"

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Awesome as always, Jason 🙏💚

[@CJSmallz330]

Jason as always thank you for all the tips and tricks and thank you for using my clip for this editing tutorial! One thing I never played around with was the multiband compressor so that will be the next thing that I do! You da man!! 💪💪

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks for sharing the clip man! While not a huge improvement, I think it did help. Always just depends on how far you wanna push it, but it was a fun example to play around with. I did notice the differences more with headphones versus regular speakers. 😜👍

[@CJSmallz330]

@JasonYadlovski I agree it did help, I could definitely hear some differences when you opened the multiband compressor so that was tremendously helpful!

[@rickfarber4243]

This video was super helpful to understand the thought process and which tools to use. I'm not sure I love the final effect, though. It sounds a little flat, so I might have boosted the midrange quite a bit more, but as a teaching video, it was terrific.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks!

[@DavideTravelli]

Great to watch. I should send a clip of talking while a ride my bike on trails on my round the world tour!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Yeah man! I'd be happy to give it a look and consider making a video with it. Send me a link or the file: [e-mail]

[@DavideTravelli]

@@JasonYadlovski I sent you an email with a link to a few click. Thank very much for the opportunity!

[@sebastianodibusti]

thnx for this tricks Jason, how do u make new points in the EQ and how do u move the curves between points? 👏

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! You've only got 4 EQ points when using the inspector EQ and only 6 eq points when using track level EQ in fairlight. You can always add an EQ plugin or send a track to a bus and get another EQ to use if you wanted to.

[@VAsHachiRoku]

Hey Jason! Something I always struggle with is music editing let’s say I want to loop a song and extend the middle beat section. I haven’t found an easy simple repeatable way to do this in Resolve. I tried some paid AI website that did a pretty good job of increasing the song by 20 seconds for me. Hope this might spark a good video tutorial from you!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! Typically I just make a cut at a point in the music track that makes sense, then apply a basic crossfade transition and usually it works out pretty well.

[@RoadReality]

I think it sounds better - but I also think you started with decent audio. Which helps a lot. I should see what you'd do with one of my motovlog clips and one of my talking head clips, in what could be called the world's worst KZbin "studio" :D Thanks to you, though, I've got a few plug-ins and EQ presets that really make my audio pop [in a good way, pun intended of course] with my current mic/cam setup!

[@Just_Samson]

Is it just me or does someone in this video look like the cloud city dude in empire strikes back? 😂 jk couldn’t help myself. Great vid bruh 🤙🏽

[@JasonYadlovski]

🤣 Must be the lack of hair. 😜👍

[@masterof]

Maybe KZbin has compressed the audio, I put on my headphones, I cannot hear much of differences when you switch on/off those compressor or dynamics or effects. I am currently only using the Voice Leveller. Any tips on that?

[@billythecat]

Hey Jason, where do i start if i don't know what these band and frequency thingy mean :(

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! You can just grab any point on the EQ and bring it up to the top of the EQ and sweep it back and forth looking for anything that sounds bad. When you find something that sounds bad, that's where you want to make a cut. Here's an EQ crash course vide that might help you out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4PWYouIhrifd68

Hey - great Video - as always :) I do have a question about audio workflow. I just got the KORG nanoKONTROL2 that has sliders, pan knobs and R, S and M buttons. As far as I understand - even with the sliders from the Fairlight Desktop Console u made a review from, only the whole channel is adjusted. But when I try to put foleys, atmos, music and dialogue all together, not every track gets an own channel. What I try to ask: Is it possible with the sliders to level out the audio clips that are sitting in the same track each with the sliders? That would be really great - cause to make them work all together, I have to touch every single one of them and level and adjust every single one of them in the mix - and doing the keyframe adjustments. So when it's time to adjust the whole track with the sliders - there is in mixing a movie with all those tracks and the multitude of audio clips in the same track no need for adjusting the whole track, cause I had to level out the clips before. In the example you show with the review of the Fairlight Desktop Console - you have only one audio clip on a whole channel - so with a scenario like this - that is fine - but if you try to keep 3 foley channels, one atmo and one dialogue and one music channel, with a bunch of audio files sitting in the channels - the workflow with sliders is kind of limited... am I right or do I just have the wrong order of operation or is my workflow wrong? Maybe you can do a small tutorial on that. Would appreciate and love to see a solution.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! I looked at the Korg you mentioned, with the faders, just as with the Fairlight console, you can only adjust the levels for the whole track. If you want to adjust individual clips, you need a knob that will adjust the clip gain. The Fairlight console has this - it will affect the selected track and the clip that is under the playhead. I'm not sure if that control panel you have has a knob that will allow you to adjust the clip gain (volume in the inspector), but if it does, you should be able to adjust each clip individually by first selecting a track, then use the option in fairlight to select the clip under the playhead.

[@gorri012]

Yep - I recognized that in the end of your review - what makes me wonder is that the mainpart of the mixing task has to be done without the much more convenient faders. It is like it is - you gotta do what you gotta do :)

[@maggz5442]

Under my mixer I don’t see any of those effects you have. How do I turn that on

[@JasonYadlovski]

Are you in the fairlight tab? If you don't see any effects, try clicking the 3 dots in the top right of the mixer (in fairlight) and make sure effects is checked on.

[@theplussizecostumer]

I have tinnitis so I dont often hear the differences, but I did with this clip. Not much, but it was noticable. Very good. Now I have a couple of questions I need help with. Number 1, I have a clip I'm trying to edit that is out of sync. The audio is about 4 frames ahead of the video. Which is weird because I recorded both at the same time. You can hear what I'm saying before my mouth moves. Kind of like one of those badly dubbed Japanese movies. Is there anything I can do to get them back in sync? I was thinking of moving the video portion 4 frames ahead of the audio but I wasn't sure that would be the correct thing to do. Number 2, I can't see any waveform when I play same this clip. And I've adjusted the volume on the clip up to 10.7dB, but no waveform. This has happened before and often just moving the volume adjustment line will helped. So I tried that again this time and nothing. No Joy. Is there any way to bring back the waveform? If nothing else, I need it to help me make precise cuts when I edit my videos. (Watch, I'll shut down My computer, and the I next bring up DiVinci, It won't be a problem because it fixed itself. It's happened before.) So, if you have any suggestions to fix these problems, I'm all ears. Thank you.

[@andrewmason8691]

I have tinnitus too. A couple of ways I counter this during audio editing is to use good headphones and turn the volume up to amplify any subtleties that I might otherwise miss.

[@BertFlanders]

Honest thought: I hear a difference but it doesn't _feel_ like an improvement. (I listen through studio monitors). Anyhow, thanks for the video!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks for sharing!

[@JasonYadlovski]

I noticed it more though headphones, less through my monitors too. More room for improvement I suppose. 😜

[@dhurbarajpaudel16]

ME TOO BRO

[@JasonYadlovski]

😜👍

[@misssmilecreation]

Can you please help me when i am trying to play audio with playhead its not playing ... i dont know why its stopped suddenly please help please tell me solution ....its helpful to listen audion with playhead curser as we want Plzz... help man please

[@JasonYadlovski]

Sound like you need to turn on Audio Scrubbing. Here's a video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHmzmqtmfpmkrtk

[@CULT-CinemaRu]

Seems like a lot of work to change almost nothing :)

[@JasonYadlovski]

I suppose I could’ve pushed it further. In real time, just doing the changes. It wouldn’t take more than a few minutes at most.

[@CULT-CinemaRu]

@@JasonYadlovski I dunno, man, you are a pro, obviously, and I even consider to buy your course, but a lot of times if the sound is good enough, you don't really need to do anything. Maximum apply some pre-set filter and that's it. At least in my line of work where mostly it is studio recording with relatively good sound. I left this message cause to my ear "before" and "after" in your sample are almost the same, yet you spent 10 minutes or so tweaking it for these diminishing results, which I think is not productive :) I do understand that you did it to demonstrate the steps necessary to work on sound, but I guess you could have taken sampls which will be more obviously "better" after your tweaks than what we got in video ;) And reading other comments it seems that I am not the only one who can't hear dramatic difference :)

[@JasonYadlovski]

It’s all good. Could have left it alone, but people can see the process. Got more to make in the future too but not everyone sample is gonna be a huge difference. Really if you start with the best you can, you should need to do to much.

[@Jimmy_Maurice]

The audio was better before

[@JasonYadlovski]

Great! Then you don’t need to do anything with it, saves you time. 👍
