You saved me hours of re-recording a video! God bless you!
Very helpful. Thank you. Used to just cut up the audio track mostly and adjust db but seeing this makes it much better and helping my editing skills with time.
Thank you, I was looking for a video just like this, straight to the point and clear (just like I hope my audio will turnout). You have a new subscriber sir. 👌👌
DaVinci Resolve Audio - Nice! Right up my alley! Good video man, I enjoy your content. Keep up the great work! 😁👍😜
Best explanation and instruction on Davinci Resolve I have seen. I saved it and will use watch it again until I learn is well. Thanks.
A very good basic instructional video, simple and to the point. Thanks
Sooo, helpful. What a great guideline❗Thank you.
Really great viddeo! I know NOTHING about sound, and this really amped up my video quality by so much. THANK YOU!
Great video! I've been struggling with my audio and this helped a lot!
A lot of what Joris is saying here takes some experience/skill to do effectively. I don't fully agree with some of the decisions here but they're pretty good. If you don't understand how to do everything as shown, a good idea is to send your raw video to an audio pro with experience in Fairlight, and then have them make you a preset, and then look at what they did and learn that way.
Also, Joris said he records his audio to a Zoom H5, but doesn't say how he syncs it with the video. If you're close enough to your camera, be sure the camera is recording audio as well with its onboard mics. When you import both the video (with onboard audio) and the audio from the H5, you can highlight both in the media pool and right click and choose SYNC AUDIO BASED ON WAVEFORM and it will sync your good H5 audio with your crappy camera audio and replace it. After that, you don't have to drag both the audio and video clips to the timeline -- you only need to drag the video file, since the new audio has replaced the crappy audio.
Hope this helps!
Excellent as always - cheers, Joris 🙏🤘🙏
💚 Incredibly helpful video! Thank you!
insane vid, thanks for the help man! i'd love a vid in the future where you apply your cinematic editing methods to an iPhone recording (dci p3 color space)
Awesome tutorial, your video's helps my any time.
Exactly what I needed to clean up audio in my project, thank you
thank you, this is the best fairlight tutorial I have searched for :)
Thanks for putting value out here. Been watching you since before 10k subs.
Your video are a piece of art. I enjoyed every bit of it
Awesome guide, Joris. Much appreciated.
Greateful video and knowledge split!
Hey Joris thanks for the video!!! You saved me and my next job :) greetings from Italy :)
As a beginner in the content creation industry this video was a huge help. Than you!
Thank you. That was very helpful! I had feedback that my voice was hard to hear in my most recent video so i need advice like this. Thanks!
Also, I really like the expression you used; "a street with no end". Perfection is the enemy of progress. I'll use that. Cheers!
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Thanks for the vid, its very helpful and easy to follow
very useful, thank you!
We love guys like you on UA-cam. All your stuff is so helpful and has made a big difference to me and my channel which I only started 7 months ago. It's guys like you that have helped me learn DVR so quickly. Thank you.
And it's comments like this why I love doing this! 🫡🤝🙏🏻
@@JorisHermans Thanks for your great tuts! Wonder if you could you perhaps make a video about using Fairlight inbuilt effects for pre-processing the voice if it is at all possible in Fairlight kinda like OBS filters do?
Very valuable - I will steal everything. - thank you ❤
alway love finding a vieo explaining exactly what i need, haha. thank you!
Great video! Thanks Joris
Thank you. You made it so simple to understand.
This is so helpful, thank you so much saved me from recording again! Had a humming sound from a wine fridge in the background..
Thank you! Super helpful!
you saved my hours ❤
Thanks Sir
This video helps a lots.❤❤❤❤
Thanks for information ! great tut
Fantastic video, thanks so much
thanks for this video it helps me a lot
Glad with your 'Straatje met een eind' ;-)
Great tips! A little low cut goes a low way on a voice.
Great tutorial Joris! How do you keep your talking in one track with L/J cuts?
very good, Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you!🎉❤
Thanks. Set in and out points and playback to loop, so that you don´t have to click, each time the timeline ends.
Great videos. Liked & subscribed.
Thanks for the video.
Gutes Video. Ich bin gerade umgestiegen von Adobe Premiere Pro zu Davinci Resolve weil mir 60 € pro Monat einfach zu teuer waren. Jetzt muss ich mich mit Davinci Resolve erstmal zurecht finden. Ich hoffe ich komme schnell wieder rein ins editieren mit deinen Tipps.
OMG thank you 😩
should i use compressor if i dont have such peaks? my voice is pretty monotone if that is relevant. Thanks in advance :)
thank you
Nice Good Job.
Thanks for this! Also which animated title pack do you use from MotionVFX? Your link just goes to the homepage :)
I have applied your setting to my audio.
thanks broo, your method makes my cheap shotgun mic sounds better. Legit!
how can I delete the saturation in the microphone, for example when someone's shouting or laughing.
I'm missing something that reduces noise, like using a noise profile with a Noise reduction effect in Audacity. Also something to eliminate accidental high volume clicks like fingernails tapping on a table

Hi, what is the best way to add gain to my audio out of the following 3 options?. Add gain in OBS, Normalize audio in Davinci Studio, or Turn up Gain knob on my Scarlet Audio Interface?
You would want to look at gain staging. You could also use a compressor to get your clips louder without clipping.
Your audio interface won't change the volumes in your project.
Joris wouldn't using a desser and then bumping the the vocals for clarity counter each other?
Good point! I'll look into it 🙏🏻🔥
The DeEsser removes/dampens the narrow frequencies around the area where the sharp S'es usually live and "flattens" everything - Then, upping a broader frequency spectrum/area for clarity is fine since the peaks causing the S'ing has been lowered. It's kind of like the use of the compressor to limit peaks, and then using the makeup gain to increase the overall level. It kind of helps to think of the EQ as a "volume dial for specific frequencies" - Lowering the volume around specific areas removes troublesome frequencies so it sound good, and then using a vocal enhancer is just a more "specific" EQ-variation to increase the volume of the whole audio spectrum where the voice lives. This is very simplified though - also, in theory, all of these adjustments *could* be done using only the EQ, or several EQ's in a row, first cutting/lowering troublesome frequencies (kind of like doing color adjustments removing and flattening things out a bit, leveling the whole picture out) and then boosting the ones you want to put some focus on, and finally boosting the whole image) - With audio you remove the troublesome frequencies, you then boost stuff (like in the vocal frequencies or higher to introduce some air) and then, once balanced properly, you can increase the volume of the whole track/frequency spectrum for a louder sound all over if needed.
You da man bro good session. Love from sydney australia
I did all these things. It made my voice sound better but now there's a horrible fuzz noise to the audio. Tried noise reduction and it didn't work either
I have to render several times just to HAVE audio. Mine drops out for some reason.
Are all these great audio tools available in the "free" version of Fairlight in DaVinci Resolve 18?
Yes
Do you do any editing on a audio software like Audacity?
No, this is as far as I'll go. For my needs, this is enough.
How come I can’t see the equalizer like that I have a weird drop down menu with all different kinds of equalizer names I’m not familiar with
Do you have the paid version?
I do not have the paid version
Make sure every Q factor are 10.3 (band 2-3-4-5 all) set in 10.3
This solved your problem
No idea what the last comment meant, I need more clarity on what those numbers mean
I have that same problem is it maybe for studio ?
Boosting the level to +20dB in the EQ is not going to help you find frequencies that sound bad. Anything will sound nasty when you boost it that much. Try to keep it around +9dB
Normalise is not effecting sometimes in my projects. It does most of the time, but time it does not. Any reason for this?
If your audio already has peaks at or close to the top (0dB) then Normalise won't do anything, because there's nothing to do. Instead, you'd need to use raise the volume slider, or use a compressor or a limiter to raise the volume. (A limiter can also help stop the audio from going over 0dB and distorting.)
Joris, i Want to get a better camera instad of my Canon EOS 600… do you think the Canon M 50 is Fine?
PS: I will buy your luts the next days😉
First question: video, photography or both?
More for video!
@JorisHermans Because for my last film about Namibia, I used my IPhone but I want to do it a bit more professionally…
First things first. Those foam audio panels are useless for sound treatment on their own.
Id advise placing bass traps in the corners of your room and placing an acoustic panel on all four walls.
These can be made cheaply with 100 x. 25 softwood framing. Rockwool and a covering material for the front and back.
You could also place one above your recording position.
Doing this will negate any room acoustics and give you a datum to eq from.
Also dont fall into the trap of boosting the bass and treble while crushing the mids when Equalising. Different 🎤 s respond differently. Treat each as a single case scenario.
2:50
but where is your belgian accent , is there a plugin to erase that :D ?
do you speak dutch
Zeker! Of Vlaams... 't is maar hoe je't bekijkt 😉😎
@@JorisHermans Ik spreek ook Vlaams
Before the video:
I *AM* a sound engineer (perhaps an intermediate one, but still) so ~i m p r e s s m e~
After the video:
TLDR; Solid video; lower quality audio can only go so far, don't let that stop you; the video does its job, could be better in terms of showing pitfalls; I have this weird problem with presenting three items when I should present two; Compression is your best friend, EQ can also be; final opinion at the bottom.
So, I recognize a couple of things in relation to my reservations about this video, and none of them *reaaally* affect the main goal of this video, which really is to just showcase the Audio section of DaVinci's Fairlight. That being said:
1) Wildly jealous of the amount of money this guy has thrown at his audio gear. Like, eventually I will need to get an H5 for professional purposes, and so that skews my bias just a bit 😂.
But fully recognize that audio editing is a lot like cooking: quality of ingredients indicates the spectrum of potential of how the dish can turn out, no matter how you cook it.
An A5 Waygu steak can always be ground up, processed, and turned into a $5 smash burger really easily.
It is painfully hard to turn a $5 steak to be as juicy or enjoyabled as an A5 Waygu steak, and arguably impossible in the kitchen.
Likewise, it is much easier to record audio with a good mic cleanly and turn it into trash. It is nearly impossible to clean up the sound of a door slamming in the middle of someone's dialogue in a theater, especially when the microphone is from your smartphone.
That being said, and much like Joris pointed out, don't wait to buy expensive equipment, record!! But recognize the limitations of the quality with what you're using, and try to limit extra sound to give yourself that advantage to editing it. And also recognize that, at the end of the day, $5 meat will not taste like a cow who has been fed olives all its life like a prince being fed grapes in ancient Rome.
2) I fully recognize that this is built to be a ~10 minute video to showcase and give a basic tutorial to how to work to clean up sound via Fairlight, and I personally found what I needed.
That being said, if you're gonna be like "don't do this cause it will sound weird", please showcase why that would sound weird.
There's a kind of concerning problem in video/audio editing community where we just kind of feed people these 'presets' and don't really show them how they should be adjusted according to this situation.
I know that there's not much of a reason for the average video editor to necessarily fully understanding things like "db Headroom", "The Compressor vs. Limiter Decision", or a lot of the basic concepts of Sound Design.
But, I also know that if I were to see this some 5 years ago when I understood Sound Design very little, I would be banging my head against the wall trying to make my things sound good using these in-built features (given that, to the DaVinci Resolve team's credit, their UI here is pretty damn visually comprehensive all things considered).
So, taking that quick second to be able to show that would be pretty neat, a kind of bare minimum to give people a taste of what they're looking to avoid. 👍
3) ... honestly couldn't think of anything else, I just really like making my points in groups of three.
But I guess in terms of unsolicited advice from a guy who has been dealing with this for the past 3-ish years, my highest suggestion is keep it simple and don't break your head with... arguably, half of this stuff.
If you're realllly diving deep into trying to make your videos sound professional and *don't* have to money to throw at some undergrad to work this kind of thing, then following throughout all of this video is pretty great and spend time to mess around with and learn each one of these things.
But if you're like me and don't have the time nor particularly care so long as the video doesn't sound like a reporter during monsoon season, here's the three audio-editing things you should consider (beyond making sure things sound just loud enough), arguably not in the order I present them in:
a) [ 5:17 ] Compression is your best friend, and understanding it will probably be all you need to do in a lot of situations to make your audio manageable and decent.
This tends to be basically the only thing I touch a lot of the time, cause it's often the only thing that I have to care about in an audio.
And to Joris' credit, he did a pretty solid job explaining it, given that it's one of those things that just confuse anyone who hasn't eaten, slept with, and breathed it for a good amount of time.
Why should YOU care, though?
Well, people have a tendency to not be at the exact distance away from a microphone at all times, or are not extremely precise with the way they talk, so simply making the audio louder doesn't help bridge the gap between the really quiet parts and the really loud parts.
So compression says "Hey, wait a minute, what if we simply just make *only* the louder parts quieter, so that we can raise all of the sound together without blasting our ears?".
Pretty easy to control the sound when that 'threshold' between the loudest and quietest parts is brought together.
b) [ 3:43 ] EQ can also be your friend, but it's often a rabbit hole of overdoing something.
Unless there's an ungodly sound or sound quality that you can guess it's coming from a specific region of the sound spectrum that is consistent throughout the entire clip, going in and touching Band 2 through Band 5 doesn't make much sense for clean audio.
What you should consider is Band 1 and Band 6! They are traditionally known as "High Pass Filter" and "Low Pass Filter" respectively, and they are often used to cut extra sound material that isn't necessary above and below your sound.
A good way to figure out where each one should be is playing the sound continuously, and slowly bring in one of them to the center and stop when the sound starts to change in quality... and then do the same to the other one- you get it, yeaah.
c) ... again, we've come to the point where I am forced to admit I have this problem with me trying to make three points when I only need to make two.
But, as a last point [10:21] , be weary of presets when it comes to audio and video editing; no two video/audio projects are exactly the same, much like how no two of the exact same food dish made in the kitchen will be exactly the same.
But also, if you record a video with the same mic, same person, same environment, and for the most part same style of video, saving what you did last time with a preset will cut down on time next time with having to adjust everything fully.
In other words, consider a preset more like a jumping off point into what actually needs to be done rather than a decision set in stone.
If you've read this far, thank you for reading probably the longest rant I've written on UA-cam.
When I have the chance, I will probably turn this into a full video, since Audio Design is what I've been falling in love with in the past couple of years, and sharing that love and wisdom, even if it's just in digestible doses.
As for my final opinion of this video, it definitely uncovers a lot regarding this industry, while at the same time fulfilling it's job, so... 7/10, good shit Joris.
