Voice-Over in Davinci Resolve | Record Directly into Resolve

[@Barnyz]

10/10 video. It explains everything very clearly and unlike many youtube videos is short and to the point and doesnt try to add extra fluff to make the video longer than necessary. Thank you very much for creating this, I was easily able to follow it and managed to record my voice for the first time (now i just need to get a decent mic). Great stuff!!!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome, you’re welcome. Glad you were able to get your voiceover working! Thank you for checking out the video, I appreciate it! 😁👍

[@official_ate_gi_channel]

It looked complicated but when I tried it, you’re right, it’s actually easy🥰 Thanks for a clear, simple and short tutorial!!

You’re welcome! Glad you were able to do it. Not too bad when you know what to do. 😁👍

[@Lennonxxxxxx]

yes sir

[@Akillez]

Great video, short and concise. I want to add for those that are having trouble not finding your USB mic input or whatever audio device your using and it isn't showing up. Go to where it says "DaVinci Resolve" in bold in the upper left corner of the screen, click on Preferences, then click to Video and Audio I/O, go to the Input device drop down and you should see your device of choice show up there, and then just repeat the steps of this video.

Exactly right on how to make sure the microphone is patched inTo Resolve

[@CoolBeanSoup]

Thank you so much! This tutorial was very helpful. Short, sweet, and to the point! I've been recording audio through other audio editors, but learned that Da Vinci you can record audio. Which is great because I can record and edit everything in one program.

[@eumeis]

Hey, thanks for the video. Have you recorded something diggint a bit further like why is it that the voiceover track is recorded mono and how to finish the project with stereo sound and also something about the ideal treatment/adjustment for the voiceover audio so it sounds as best as possible? thanks again

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! You can just have your audio track in mono and any other tracks in stereo and make sure you final output is in stereo. As for room treatment, try and limit any reverb/echo buy using blankets, carpets, etc. When it comes to post processing, set good audio levels, apply EQ if needed, some compression and I like a multi band compressor. I've got videos on all that. 😜

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Is the Fairlight page the only place in DaVinci Resolve where you can record voiceover? Because when I record voiceover, it's actually play-by-play, and I'm calling the action in the video window. So I would need the video window to be much bigger than it appears in the Fairlight page.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Yes only in Fairlight, but you can pop out the video window and make it as big as you want.

[@VELVET462]

davinci seems like realy one of the best allrounder softwares out there. When i was 13 i downloaded FL STUDIO and use it to this day.. for recordings i also used adobe audition, but when it comes to record voice anywhere else it will be not easy to change, but i want so bad, because now im using davinci and premiere for everything else, and i want ONE SOFTWARE to do everything, but it seems its nostalgic or something like that which holds me back, but i always loved the VST integration in fl studio and how easy is to use vst plugins and the layout and everything, but i think i realy need to give it a try to record and edit vocals in davinci too

[@JasonYadlovski]

DaVinci Resolve can definitely do everything for you. You can use all of your plug-ins right and resolve, it works great. It might take a little bit of time to get everything figured out and get a good workflow going for your situation but at the end of the day, I think you’ll be happy with it. 😜😁👍 i’ve got a lot of videos to help you along the way if you need them.

Hello! Thank you so much for this video. It helped me out so much, however, once I proceed to record, there is a pitch difference. Can you assist me in correcting that?

[@JasonYadlovski]

If you’re getting a slight pitch difference, you can always use the pitch effect on your track and modified slightly so it sounds the way you think it should sound. I haven’t noticed any pitch shifting in any of the recordings that I typically do in Resolve but I suppose I can happen.

[@happipepe]

[@bobbullard1439]

Thanks for the audio guidance. For recording directly into into Davinci Resolve, I bought a Scarlett 2i2 to use with a Windows Book 3. Do you know if Fairlight will NOT work with the ASIO drivers that the Scarlett uses?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I’ve heard that in the past Resolve didn’t play nice with ASIO drivers but I thought that was mainly a headphone issue. I work on a Mac so I don’t personally have that problem. Is it not working for you to record from the audio interface?

[@bobbullard1439]

I couldn't get it to work on my Microsoft Book 3 that exceeded the Davinci Resolve minimum requirements...did a search...landed on a Blackmagic Design forum with disappointed windows users complaining ASIO drivers were NOT supported by Davinci Resolve. On Windows, the Scarlett uses these drivers...damn... .

[@JasonYadlovski]

Any chance you can use a different driver for it? 🤔 I don't know why they wouldn't support ASIO, they seem pretty common....

[@bobbullard1439]

@@JasonYadlovski The Scarlett 2i2 can use WMD drivers, but these drivers don't feature low latency and multi-channel recording support. Fortunately for Mac users, they have Core Audio which plays better with Fairlight.

Hi,......Wonderfull explanation of this item. But,...please, tell me what micro you use for the voice-over. is that an USB micro??

[@JasonYadlovski]

In this video I was using the Blue Yeti - a usb microphone. Nowadays I use a Senheisser MKE 600 with EVO 4 audio interface.

[@StepByStepMusic]

QUESTION: I select Audio Inputs as my Source on the Patch window, but I don't see my audio source. I'm using a Zoom L-8 USB mixer as an in/out audio interface and want to select that as my source. Is there a way to make that show up? All I see is my web cam mic at the moment. Thanks!

[@JasonYadlovski]

I'd give everything a restart and make sure it's set as the input for your computer. Then open resolve and see if it pops up.

[@fortismonsadventures]

I had the exact same issue - thanks for asking the question. I saved project, quit DaVinci, went to system settings - sounds (iMac), verified my Yeti Blackout was input/output, opened DaVinci again, and it solved.

Awesome, glad it was helpful! Once you know how it works, it's pretty easy to record VO. Thanks for watching!

[@Akain777]

I noticed that when you finished recording your voice over that your audio waveforms remained the same. When I record through Davinci it makes my waveforms really small and weird looking..In fact whenever I edit with Davinci the Mic audio waveforms will be normal then snap to a distorted look. Do you know what could be causing this? its really weird and only happens to mic audio anything from desktop to random clips audio are fine, but my Davinci descent seem to like any mic I use.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Strange, have you adjusted the timeline view options? Or tried restarting resolve, trying a new timeline or trying a new project?

[@vitorshawcwb]

Lifesaver as always, bro.

[@rayandanyaanime]

Great vid, but since it's 3 years later, I just want to add something for the posterity : If you wish to RENAME your audio track in the recent versions of Davinci, you will have to CLICK ON THE EDGE OF THE TRACK and make it WIDER. Only then will the option for renaming your track become available. Peace :D

I'm trying this (with DR 16) and I'm following all your steps (using Deity VO-7U) but for some reason I can't hear the play back, the meters are moving and the wave form is there, so it did record. Help!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You may need to adjust the input monitoring settings that you can find in the Fairlight menu at the top of the screen.

[@CatalystHD]

I'm using the same mic as you are, but when I go into the inputs and patch my mic and the track, I still get no audio and no meter bouncing. I can record, but it's not receiving audio, despite DR recognizing it. I'm on a MAC and I've tried everything.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Did you check the track to make sure you have the recording 'armed' by checking on the 'R' like in the video above at 2:04 If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I and help more. Thanks for watching!

[@CatalystHD]

@@JasonYadlovski Still doesn't work, I get no meter bounce when I arm the track. I feel like it might have something to do with my laptop, not sure. I really want to enjoy DR16 but it a major dealbreaker if I can't record commentary for videos. I'm using iMovie now, which is fine, but it compresses video quality on export, which sucks for making KZbin videos. Thanks for all the help in advance.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Not sure why it’s not working for you. You can always use garage band to record your audio. I used to do that all the time, then just bring it into Resolve. Can you record to any other programs without problems?

[@JasonYadlovski]

@@CatalystHD Ok, another idea here. I'm assuming that in the patch window you double checked that the Source is 'Audio Inputs' and the Destination is 'Track Inputs'. Check this setting - Go to the firelight menu at the top of the screen, down to 'Input Monitor Style' and select 'Auto'. I tried the other settings and I got the same problem you're having, but on Auto it seems to work ok. It also worked for me on 'Input' but the rest didn't work. Hope this one does the trick!

[@CatalystHD]

@@JasonYadlovski Unfortunately I'm getting the same result no matter what Input Monitor Style I'm on. I can just record my commentary separately until I figure out the solution to this bizarre issue. It seems very unique, I'm not finding much online about this issue specifically. Thank you anyways.

Hi there! Great video tutorial. Currently, when I speak into the microphone, I instantly hear back what I spoke in the microphone on my computer speakers. Is there a way where I can disable that? Thanks!

This is totally awesome BUT after following all the steps ( thank you!!) my R for record will not stay recorded. Is this feature only for the paid version? I checked my yeti mic input and it’s fine on the Mac end… what am I missing overlooking with the audio in Divinci ?

[@JasonYadlovski]

You can do it in the free version for sure, maybe could check the save location for the recordings in the project settings and try clearing the render cache. Then try to re-patching everything, arm, the track record, hit the record button again, and see if it works.

[@ColossusEternum]

What is the best troubleshooting approach if DaVinci is tying the microphone into the track, but the meter level doesn't respond to sounds from the mic when Armed to Record?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Assuming you were able to patch everything OK and also arm the track to record, it may just be the input monitoring settings. Go to the fair light menu, down to input monitoring, change the settings in there and you might get the meters to move and have it work. If you’re still not getting any signal, there’s probably a problem with the patch.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi and thanks! My Yeti is plugged in via USB to my MacBook Pro. Thanks for watching!

[@Makewayproduction]

@@JasonYadlovski thanks Jason. In your opinion is a interface ( Presonus) worth it or is a good mic plugged in via mic jack or usb just as good?

[@JasonYadlovski]

I think my yeti plugged in through USB works pretty good. But if you want to use a mic that has an XLR connection you’re going to need an audio interface. Typically a more expensive, better Mic will have an XLR connection vs A less expensive Mic will be USB. That said I think my blue yeti sounds pretty good, and that is a USB connection. Just depends on what kind of set up you wanna run.

[@Makewayproduction]

@@JasonYadlovski thanks. Makes sense. :)

[@JoseRamos-od1or]

What microphone do you recommend for a desktop?

[@JasonYadlovski]

A very nice one I like from Samson is the G Track Pro. I also used to use the Blue Yeti a long time ago and that was great as long as you set it up well. I think I would choose the G Track Pro over the Yeti at this point. Any of the other microphones from Blue also sound pretty good.

[@chongjc2009]

Fantastic thanks! Is there a way to not use the speaker when recording? Whenever I do record the sound comes out from the pc speaker so it might be affecting the recording? Also is the high pitch screeching noise normal? Thanks

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! Check this setting - Go to the firelight menu at the top of the screen, down to 'Input Monitor Style' and select 'Auto'. If auto doesn't work, you can try any of the others. One of these should help. 😁👍

Hi! Did you check in your system settings and make sure that the computer sees the mic? Try restarting resolve after you have the mic plugged in. When you in in the Patch Input/Output, make sure your source is 'Audio Inputs'. As long as the computer sees the mic, Resolve should see it too.

Thank you Jason! Why do you record in mono? Is there a specific reason not to record it in stereo mode?

[@JasonYadlovski]

The advantage of Mono is that you get equal vocals to both speakers. For talking head stuff or tutorials, you don't really need stereo channels. But honestly, most of the time now my talking tracks end up being stereo. 😁 You can really do either way.

[@TimetoTalkwithYevgen]

@@JasonYadlovski Thank you so much, tried it. It worked well! Thank you so much for your time. I did not the use the best mic, but it turned out to be very good.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! Glad it worked. You can use some tips from my latest video to see how to remove any background noise you may have: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2qoc6ytetWLb6M Next week I'll have a video out on how to make your audio sound more professional and the process I use. Stay tuned for that! 😁

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Some of my videos have sound that I don't want. Is there a way to reduce any noise on the pre recorded video so that I can do the voice over?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! Sure, you can try some noise reduction or try using a gate. They can help reduce noise. I’ve got videos on both on my channel. 😁👍

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

@@JasonYadlovski I just started using DaVinci 2 days ago. Thanks for your advise though. Here's a better explaination on what I need and you can direct me to the exact video I need to watch. Thanks in advance. I'm a former Windows Movie Maker user. Scene: I'm creating a tutorial and i.e., my dog barks so, before I upload to KZbin, I have to "erase" the original audio and do a voice over (with my dog in the other room...lol). In WMM you'd just move the "video volume" to off then you could record the new voice over.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Congrats on getting started with Resolve! You can just select your audio clip, open the inspector, click on the Audio tab at the top, then reduce the volume for that clip to 0. Done! you've muted the clip. Now you can just record a voice over on a new track and you should be all set.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

@@JasonYadlovski I know exactly what you're talking about. Thank you and thank you for your tutorials.

[@PigeoneerToy]

I understood everything but am curious to know why do we choose "mono"? Also, how do we speed up the playback velocity? Say I was reading something to record it and I want it to be a bit faster...

[@JasonYadlovski]

Typically mono is used so that you get the same dialogue audio from both the right and left channels. A mono signal sends the audio equally to both right and left, whereas Stereo will allow for different panning of the audio. Typically you want vocals coming from the front/center unless you are working with 5.1 surround sound.

[@KiDMtheman]

Hey Jason, I'm about to do my voice-over for my latest video. I was wondering is there any benefit or differences if I were to record on Stereo instead of Mono? And vice-versa. Would love to hear your input. Thanks 😊

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I think generally voiceovers are done in mono but really either is fine. Depends if do you want to do any stereo Effects or not. Can’t go wrong either way.

[@rickconti]

I feel dense but I haven't been able to get this working using my PC's builtin mike. (Obviously, sound quality isn't an issue.) I select what I *think* is the mike on the "Patch..." menu in Fairlight and arm the recording but no sounds register. Is there something brain-dead I'm doing wrong? The mike works because I use it in Zoom and the PC's voice recorder. I've tried several times with no luck. Any ideas? I hate to bother you but this is the penalty you get for being helpful. :-)

[@islsaglam5681]

Hello Jason, many thanks for this very explanatory video. One question: is it possible to linger longer in specific seconds if we have a longer text of voiceover allocated for these seconds? Is it possible for example to stop the video, but still continue to record our voiceover?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! Yes you can do that. There's different ways to do it. The easiest might be to make a cut where you want the video to 'stop or linger' then create a freeze frame (go to 'Clip' menu at the top and then Freeze Frame) for as long as you'd like, then go back to the clip when you want the video to play. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

I already have adobe audition to work with, am wondering, should I still try this?

[@JasonYadlovski]

I would give it a try and see which one you like better. Audition is going to be more robust and probably have more tools for you but it depends on what you’re doing. If you just need basic effects, EQ, etc. you might be able to do it right here.

[@johnbeck2020]

Hi, great tutorial, thank you. What mic do you use in this tut?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! I used the Blue Yeti USB mic. It's a great mic, I love it. Thank you for checking out the video!

[@johnbeck2020]

@@JasonYadlovski What do you think, is there an adapter to connect the Yeti with a 3.5 mm jack to a recorder?

[@JasonYadlovski]

@@johnbeck2020 In a quick Google search, it looks like there are USB to 3.5mm jack adapters. I've never used one before so I don't know if they work or are any good. I use the USB cable for the Blue Yeti and record the audio using Garageband or Screenflow. Then I export the audio and bring it into DaVinci Resolve. Are you able to use it with USB?

[@johnbeck2020]

@@JasonYadlovski I'm still thinking about what the best solution is for me. Thank you very much for your effort.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Just a thought - you could go with a mic that uses an XLR cable. Then you can plug into a different interface that may work better. Best of luck!

Jason, Is there a way to have the Voice over "capture files" be saved into a current project directory being worked on ? Instead of being saved to the main dumping area of "Capture" that DR creates ? That Directory can fill up FAST and be hard to manage with retakes and multiple projects.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! Sure, you can change it in the project settings. Click the little gear icon at the bottom right of the window or go to File -> project settings. I think it’s under capture and playback. You can select any path you want for that project. 😁👍

Great video thanks! Can you save that “R” tab for record in your audio track? Or do you have to go through the whole process every time?

You're welcome and Thank you for checking out the video! I haven't tried it, but I'm sure you can save the track as a preset. Just go to the Fairlight menu at the top and go to Preset Library. You can probably save it under one of those settings - maybe the global track preset. If you have any troubles, let me know.

When I try to do this it has my headset microphone as an option but not my Blue Yeti. Is there a way to add to the input area?

I think you just need to make sure it appears on the computer before opening Resolve. Try unplugging the headset before opening resolve.

[@spyingcamera554]

Do you need to have pro in order to do that I can change my audio tracks

[@JasonYadlovski]

No, this can be done in the free version.

[@rbaker7596]

Hey Jason, Great video and thanks! I will definitely be doing normal voice-overs so that helps a ton but I am also wondering if there is a way to do this in Davinci Resolve or really any NLE but for "live" commentary/voice-over (not sure really what to call it) so I can pause or rewind or skip forward or whatever in the video. Or, is the only way to do this through a screen capture program? I really want to maintain the quality of the audio and video and not use a screen capture program if at all possible but guessing that is the only way to currently do it (sigh). Anyways, thanks again!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi, Thanks! I don't see why you can't do it right in resolve. There's also the ADR features where you can always go back and fix stuff. I don't think there's much difference if you did it in a screen recording or just right in resolve. I'm sure there is a way, but I can't tell you specifically without knowing the situation your using it in. Thanks for watching!

[@rbaker7596]

​@@JasonYadlovski Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I think that's very interesting and definitely will be useful in the future but I am not sure that's what I am looking for right now. Basically, I want to do a freestyle, real-time director's/editor's commentary over my video I edited in Resolve where basically I am playing my video in real time and commenting (doing a voice-over) but sometimes I will want skip around in the video and add some voice-over/commentary here and there. I guess the way to describe it is that I would want Resolve to keep track of where I am in the video and record it (or create a new timeline) and record my voice-over audio at the same time. For instance, I might be at the beginning of my video and might want to jump forward to the end to do a comparison of those two parts of the video and then jump back to where I was and I want Resolve to capture it all in real time. Also, I might slow down the video in parts to make it clearer for people watching what happened or speed up a less important part or loop a part, etc. I guess I could just reedit my video to what I want to highlight and talk about and then add the voice-over and do it that way but I was looking to do it in more of a real-time, less formal (and easier) way, and if I want to add anything or make any mistakes while I am doing this, I could add to it or fix/rerecord it later. Anyways, at this point, unless you have any other suggestions, I guess the two best/only ways to do it are either to reedit the video (or really make a new video out of the original) to include only the parts I want to include and then add the voice-over after or to use a screen capture program to do it or a combination of both. Thanks again!
