That Match EQ sounds really powerful. Would it ever make sense to use it against some audio source other than you? Say, pick some great sounding audiobook or narration that you like the presence of the talent on and then apply it to yourself? Btw, this isn't coming from a sound guy. Just a hobbyist musician that frequently needs to make software demo (non-pro) videos with narration for work.
Ooooh, that sounds like a very cool idea :) And even though all voices are different it might reveal some interesting results for further experimentation, kinda like applying the color look of one image to another, great idea :)
Harv! Thank you for making this video. I tried to replicate it on Davinci Resolve 19, the software I use. However, I couldn't find equivalents for many features. The closest I found was the Voice Isolation preference, which effectively removes echo and reverb. Yet, it lacks the richness and bass in the voice that I would love, maybe I just need to upgrade my mic!
Yeah Fairlight unfortunately feels still very clunky and preset lacking, you have to start from square one with most everything. I usually bounce out my audio to Audition at the end of an edit, mix there, and send it back
Great video :) Would love to see/hear your take on the DJI Mic 2, which I find to be very muffled sounding when worn on the chest, with a similar setup, but ditching the «make it sound like»-plugin, doing only manual/by ear adjustments :) I really like the sequence of steps you have here, with first the general cleanup and de-ess’er, then some comp for leveling out things, and only *then* doing the main sculpting of the sound before rounding it off and bringing thw levels up :) Gonna have a go at trying something similar on my Mic 2 audio in DaVinci Resolve this weekend, so thank you :)
Enjoy guys, I’m super proud of this video 😊

Hmm yes I suppose you could use anything as the reference track, actually that’s a great idea 😄

Can this be done in FCP?

Great video. I appreciate you explaining the settings. Just bought the Lark M2 after seeing your review. Thank you for the great content! 🙏🏻
"we expect too much from these"... so true. We're buying an entire wireless mic kit for like $200 and then expect it to sound like a $2000 mic 😅
Really great tips, I've got the Lark M2 so I'll be trying these out!
once again, quality tutorial, keep 'em coming!
