I rewatch this every time I make a video. It gives such an easy to follow work flow. I definitely don't have a great microphone, but these tips help to make the most of what I am working with.

Hi Jamie, appreciate your support but can you help me with something I really want to do in Davinci Resolve 16 ? Basically, I want to get rid rid of the voices from the audio track of a video ( but keep the rest of the audio intact )and then replace them (the voices) with my own voice recording. How can I accomplish that ? Could you make one of your next videos about this ? Thanks a lot ! PS :Oh yeah, I want my voice recording to sound awesome as well so that may imply making 2 tutorials.
When you drag the video into davinci, the audio track should be there underneath it so just delete it and fill in the rest with your voice and layer it with a quieter background noise of whatever the shot has in it. (city streets sound fx, coffee shop, mall noise etc, whatever the case may be) and then use the technique that I'm posting a video about today with it :D
Jamie this was so useful thanks, made a huge difference for me as I'm learning to better my sound. Just upgraded my mic and recorder but of course as we all know you need to get things right in post to really make it sound BEST for your individual voice.
Did not know about the pan tool in fairlight. One other lil trick is that at the end on the main out you can do a1-2 Db boost at around 4k mid to sharp Q (depending on the voice)to add energy. Subtle but your brain notices
this is the most helpful video about this on youtube. I recorded with a lavalier mic and the audio was tinny. I watched so many others but your video is the only one that helped make my vocals clearer. thanks!!
Thank you so much for this! I know NOTHING about sound engineering. This is easy to follow and just do at the end of each video to make sure the VO is as good as I can get it.
excellent short and concise tutorial. Helps a lot when you are familiar with the tools of compression etc and you need to apply them in DaVinci ... as a way to jump start
This was exactly what I was looking for. I am switching over from Premiere but couldn't get the audio to sound as good in Resolve - until now! Thank you :)
me too. lol. I can't remember it all. the only thing i skip is the EQ. watched so many videos on it but i can't get the point where the audio sounds bad. I think one needs an "ear" for for it. but the rest, yeah. I added the noise reduction sometimes too, because the place where I record have hard walls so it sound quite harsh at times
this was insanely helpful! forwarding this video to anyone from now on who needs help. thank you very much. you saved me so much trouble with being worried about hissing noises with "s" in my voice
Jamie that was awesome. Just what I have been looking for. Sound is so important and it's something I realise I've got to get happening big time. Thank heaps mate, perfect.
Hey thanks! The workflow in Davinci isn't the best right now or else I would have done a few things differently but this was the closest workflow I could get compared to Ableton...
Awesome. And of course overall loudness and the mix of everything you put in your video is totally up to you so try experimenting and seeing what mix sounds best to you.
Dude, you made this so simple and understandable. Now I'm waiting for part 2. Really it's hard to find anyone who understands dialogue mixing. It's kind of arcane. I've worked as an editor since your parents were children and we mixed on magnetic film. Mixing wasn't done by editors universally until about 15 years ago. There was always a separate budget for audio. As many years as I sat next to mixers and watched and listened, I didn't have to actually know how to do it. Why I'm still working in my old age is a long story, and it wasn't my idea. Thanks .
jamie, how about a daaaamnn crash course that will get you to boom your channel , man ... god damn it your channel is underated .. thats exactly what you need and what your viewers need !! comm'onnnn
Recommended System Requirements. ... Storage Space: 512GB SSD minimum (PC); 512GB Internal flash storage (Mac) Recommended RAM: 16GB (Windows), 16GB (Mac) Graphics/VRAM: AMD or CUDA compliant GPU with at least 4GB of graphics RAM.
so I have to apply all the effects to the whole audio track? is there an option or a paste attribute where I put these properties on specific clips like in premiere pro?
You can apply them to specific clips, but if it’s your voiceover track or something, you generally want the same effects across the entire track for consistency and whatnot
Thank you for the video. The only caveat that I found was the fact that I have a low voice and I didn't want to take out the bass at all for the effect. I have a very good microphone...Sennheiser which captures a clean recording every time.
Great, that is what i exactly what i needed now! Thank You! Maybe you can make touturial also on how to balance diferent tracks like voice, sfx, music... what would be corect values for each? Thans in advice!
I'm just starting my channel 😁😅 & looked up to many videos for fixing my voice because I don't have a professional mic I use the headphone mic for recording. but sometimes in premier pro when I use denoiser & pitch shifter at (-1) my voice kind of sound's like when we add helium effect but with deep voice do you have any solutions? I also have Da Vinci resolve .
Great material! Although when I followed this guide and listened to the before and after of the audio I liked the before a fair bit better. Might be because I’m just recording and picking up audio from my iPhone.
A nice starter for the basics, without having to know all the ins and outs. Audio isn't my strong point. I have 2 questions though: - Do you have to do this each time you start a new project? Or is there a way to save the set-up of this audio track, to be ready for other projects, so you don't have to go through this each and every time? - What is a good way to get a soft "male" voice to be a higher pitched "female" voice, without sounding like a chipmunk or robot? I've used the pitch plugin, but I've noticed that you can't really go beyond 1 semitone without it sounding fake. Around 60 to 70 cents seems to be the most, but still not to satisfying. I've also used the EQ the lower the bass frequencies. Cheers
It would be soooooo cool if you could add in timestamps to the description for this video. Because a lot of these settings can't be saved to use later, I run through this video last thing before I publish, EVERY TIME. It would be nice if it were easier to jump around to each section, though.
What's up Davinci Daddy! Thanks for the video. I know I have been asking for it lately :) Cool tips on basic VO processing. I am more interested in how you are recording the signal, meaning what mic, room acoustics, how you are dampening noise. That signal of yours is pristine, man. What are you using?

@@alejandrostyle2132 No problem!
Coming from music mixing, listening to your tutorials makes everything fall in place more. You really have a clear way of teaching and a nice tempo
I appreciate that! Not many people have complimented the audio in my videos but its nice to hear your comment. Much luv man!
Your help has made a HUGE difference in my videos right away. Especially “gate” settings... Thank you very much.
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is a great no-nonsense guide to editing in resolve. Having previous podcast editing experience helps, but I didn't know how to navigate Davinci.

Absolutely. You can't polish a turd. hahah
It's amazing how cleaner and deeper my voice sounds with just a few effects! Thank you for this video :)
Check out my newest tutorial on it. There’s a few little things in there that are different than this video 🙏🏼

thank you so much it been so frustrating to get the right vocals always sounded tinny now it sounds perfect thank you so much:)
So useful, Fairlight was a bit of a mystery to me. Thanks!
Just noticed in 18 you can save presets in the Dynamics window. What a timesaver!
Jamie Fenn thank you very much for the great tutorial! I saved it in my favorites.
You're so welcome thanks for watching!
Great and clear tutorial - super helpful video! We will try to us it for our next video 👍

You are great and generous. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with everyone.
My pleasure!
This was brilliant. Like all things, sounds needs a workflow and this is a good one!
You've touched on a few things here that I have not seen in some other tutorials about voice. Nice perspective. Thanks!
Awesome to hear. I’m trying to drop knowledge that many people don’t!

Thanks again Jamie for opening a door in Davinci I was scared to touch. Said it before and I'll say it again, You Rock!
Thanks again Madison! YOU rock too :D
Super helpful man! I’ve been looking for a tutorial this good for awhile. Keep it up 👍🏻

You are good with Davinci Resolve, and itś lovely to see your channel growing.
I try! And thank you so much. Its crazy to see how much its grown in the last couple months!
thank you for this video, i thought i was missing something in the audio on my vids, and this was it thank you
You're so welcome..Glad I could help!
Hi Jamie,
thank you very much for this video.
Can one also speed up or down the voiceover if necessary?
I'v'e never needed to do that so Im not sure. Can you retime the audio like you do video?
the first step made everyting sond betta glooks my boy
Wow, that was a lot, but great tips! Will try that for my first voice over! Thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you a lot!!! is it a way to say all these operations as a preset? to use on multiple voices in one video?
Everyones voice is different. Therefore you wouldn't want to apply the exact same settings.
How can you copy and paste all the work you did to another clip?
jamie, how about a daaaamnn crash course that will get you to boom your channel , man ... god damn it your channel is underated .. thats exactly what you need and what your viewers need !! comm'onnnn
Nobody else noticed there are parts missing in his audio!? I watched it a few times over and it skips parts!? for instance around 02:17
This video helped a lot with my first tutorial, thanks a lot !
You're welcome!
This is really well made! Thanks for the tips and the intro to these cool effects!
great video dude!!
Glad you liked it!

Glad to hear that!
You are awesome. Thanks, man!!!
You're welcome!
so I have to apply all the effects to the whole audio track? is there an option or a paste attribute where I put these properties on specific clips like in premiere pro?
I dont use premiere so I dont know. But as of right now you have to individually add the effects
1. copy the clip
2. press rightclick on the clip you want to paste the fx to
3. press paste atributes
You can apply them to specific clips, but if it’s your voiceover track or something, you generally want the same effects across the entire track for consistency and whatnot
Thank you for the video. The only caveat that I found was the fact that I have a low voice and I didn't want to take out the bass at all for the effect. I have a very good microphone...Sennheiser which captures a clean recording every time.

Great material! Although when I followed this guide and listened to the before and after of the audio I liked the before a fair bit better. Might be because I’m just recording and picking up audio from my iPhone.
Hmm interesting. You don’t have to compress twice. Compressing takes away dynamics so that could be why.
A nice starter for the basics, without having to know all the ins and outs. Audio isn't my strong point.
I have 2 questions though:
- Do you have to do this each time you start a new project? Or is there a way to save the set-up of this audio track, to be ready for other projects, so you don't have to go through this each and every time?
- What is a good way to get a soft "male" voice to be a higher pitched "female" voice, without sounding like a chipmunk or robot? I've used the pitch plugin, but I've noticed that you can't really go beyond 1 semitone without it sounding fake. Around 60 to 70 cents seems to be the most, but still not to satisfying. I've also used the EQ the lower the bass frequencies.
