As a music producer I knew that I wanted a compressor and a sidechain (I mean, I use it in eeevery single song for that pumping effect when the kick hits) but I struggled to find how to set it up. This tutorial was very helpful thank you!
Cheers mate, happy with the results. I did actually have to go into the bus settings by double clicking on the bus send on the speech channel strip and set it to "on", I also set the "send level" to 100 as it was set to 0 by default, I don't know if this was necessary but before doing this I wasn't getting any side chain compression, and afterwards I was. I then just set my compressor settings right, mostly the ADSR settings so that the music wasn't going quiet and loud again so suddenly and jarringly, and now it's smooth and sounding great! Essentially it works just like on Logic Pro X which is what I'm used to, just with all the buttons in slightly different places, so it helped to have someone just show me where to go!
PLEASE UPDATE THIS VIDEO!!! This does not work until you go to the dynamics of the voice audio and clicking “send”. You also have to toggle "Dynamics" on both channels; it's the little red switch in the top left of the Dynamics panel. After doing both of These instructions it worked for me! April 2024.
hello, if i have 2 tracks, one of my motorcycle sound with exhaust wind and suroundings and an other of my self talking does it works even if it's not silent ? ( because some sound will be in my voice microphone because of the wind)
Is it possible to add and adjust audio keyframes for a whole audio track so you can bring up and down the volume for multiple clips (you can in Premiere which is something I used often). Thanks
@@JasonRobertsVideo When clicking the 3 dots above the mixer, even though "bus sends" was checked, it wasn't displaying. Easy fix - just uncheck one of the others. D'oh! I guess I'm hitting a limitation of my 1080P monitor.... Thanks so much for the vid - super helpful (I'm on Resolve free version)
@@JasonRobertsVideoI double checked everything and it didn’t work for me. After experimenting around, going into the dynamics of the voice audio and clicking “send”worked instead of sending bus to sidechain.
Spent WAY too much time troubleshooting and even went to another video, when I could have looked at the comments and seen that I needed to "send" the dialogue track. PLEASE REMOVE THIS VIDEO AND RESHOOT WITH THE CORRECT STEPS! Thanks for getting the ball rolling though.
The more audio effects etc. you add the slower the rendering can be though I didn't find it too bad with this. When I use voice isolate, noise reduction, etc then it does slow things down a bit more.
Thanks, do you know if Resolve has a way to edit audio separately in an audio editing app? I miss that feature in the old Sony Vegas, where I could open and edit audio clips in editors such as Sound forge, Izotope, Audcity and etc.
Hi Jason, thanks so much for providing detail on audio control with DaVinci Resolve. I am wondering if my videos are too quiet. I have the audio set to -25dB and I am not sure if this is too quiet. Though, I am just recording ambient noise typically.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Yeah I would love a video like that. I am wondering the best approach when levelling the sound for my virtual walking videos. Many of them are naturally pretty quiet and I want the sound to be a bit more noticeable. What would you recommend?
@@JasonRobertsVideo in fact, if there isn't one, I would suggest from basics (101, crash course, basic tutorial...), cause Fairlight seems to be even more difficut than Fusion to learn. Just landed here, will search...thanks for the video, congrats on the channel!
Yeah Fairlight can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you don't have and experience/background in audio engineering. Sounds like me doing a video would be very useful! :)
There's a lot to unpack in that question - I think I need to make a video to explain it all because "volume" and "loudness" are not quite the same thing - I'll try and get a video out next week to help :)
now obviously the weakness of the sidechain is there is no lookahead. automation will always be superior, but more time consuming. be sure to have a slow enough release so that the music doesn't pump for every short silence
@@JasonRobertsVideo Amazing, thank you. I got there last night after lots of trial and error but your video is very helpful and confirms I (eventually) did it the right way.
Very confusing. Got sidetracked by the discussion of the compressor because you did not say upfront it is needed. Would have benefited grately by a quick list of steps followed by the watching of you doing them. I’ll watch this again. Hopefully, will be able to see the magic “send” item, but on iPad, hard to see fine details that you don’t zoom in on.
Hi Edward, check this updated version as I tried to make it simpler: ruclips.net/video/8wfzepEjZpM/видео.html Also I have a series of videos coming to help explain all of Fairlight in more detail so stay tuned!! :)
@@JasonRobertsVideo oh, in addition, I never turned on notifications before, but I did for your channel. Will enjoy your series of Fairlight videos, I’m sure.

PLEASE UPDATE THIS VIDEO!!! This does not work until you go to the dynamics of the voice audio and clicking “send”.
Damn. Thanks a lot, you saved my life. Was trying so hard to figure out what i did wrong in the video!
Thank you! Works now :)
SAVED ME FROM ANOTHER wasted hour trying to figure out what I did wrong! UPDATE THIS VIDEO
You also have to toggle "Dynamics" on both channels; it's the little red switch in the top left of the Dynamics panel.
@@cliffsmith23 I toggled both dynamics on both channels but i can barely hear my voice. Is there anything else that needs to get done lower the music?
I wasted SO MUCH TIME trying to make this work! It doesn't... until you hit send in voice dynamics! THANK YOU Apurvk!

Is your resolution by choice? You've got two thick black bars either side, just curious.
It's so I can record the screen in 16:9 :) :)
Nice, snappy tutorial, thanks!
Yay - thanks - glad it was useful :)
doesn't allow me to click on the bus sends key to press side key
hello, if i have 2 tracks, one of my motorcycle sound with exhaust wind and suroundings and an other of my self talking does it works even if it's not silent ? ( because some sound will be in my voice microphone because of the wind)
You can adjust the threshold to choose when the track volume reduction will activate
@@JasonRobertsVideo is it named treshold or does it has a different name ( sorry i am beginner )
Yes the control is called threshold :)
thankyou very much for the explanation, mow i don't have to deal with another keyframes
You're welcome! Thanks :)
Thank you mate.
No worries - thanks :) :)
Is it possible to add and adjust audio keyframes for a whole audio track so you can bring up and down the volume for multiple clips (you can in Premiere which is something I used often). Thanks
Not sure if this is what youre talking about but you can add keyframes by holding alt while clicking the gain line.

Thanks, stay tuned to my channel because Resolve 19 has some great audio features which I'll be covering :) :)
I have no "bus sends" in the mixer to set. Am on Resolve 18.5
18.5 on Resolve free or full Resolve Studio version?
@@JasonRobertsVideo When clicking the 3 dots above the mixer, even though "bus sends" was checked, it wasn't displaying. Easy fix - just uncheck one of the others. D'oh!
I guess I'm hitting a limitation of my 1080P monitor....
Thanks so much for the vid - super helpful
(I'm on Resolve free version)
No worries Colin - glad you worked it out :)
It changed with the last update. But it got easier than before
Yeah when the Resolve 19 is out of beta I'll be doing updated vids. :) :)
thank you
You're welcome!! :) :)
nice ! thank you . subbed
Thanks for the sub and welcome :)
Didn't work for me.
Make sure you have the sidechain output setup properly and sending from the vocal track
@@JasonRobertsVideoI double checked everything and it didn’t work for me. After experimenting around, going into the dynamics of the voice audio and clicking “send”worked instead of sending bus to sidechain.
Glad you got it sorted :)
@@bsfatboy that works for me too, thanks!
@@bsfatboy I also got same problem, after reading your comment i tried it and it workd, thank you

Witchcraft! 🧑🌾
Haha!!! :) :)
Am I the only person whose videos now take a VERY long time to render after this?
The more audio effects etc. you add the slower the rendering can be though I didn't find it too bad with this. When I use voice isolate, noise reduction, etc then it does slow things down a bit more.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Before this, my 28 minute video took 10-20 minutes to render, but now it takes 5 hours :(
Wow that's a huge difference!! :(
Thanks for this! I watch it every couple weeks because I can never remember the steps! Works every time. :D
Thanks Greg - glad it helped! :)
pardon my excitement, but thank you so fucking damn much!

Thanks, do you know if Resolve has a way to edit audio separately in an audio editing app? I miss that feature in the old Sony Vegas, where I could open and edit audio clips in editors such as Sound forge, Izotope, Audcity and etc.
You cold export a high "res" version of the audio track, edit it externally, and then import the edited version :) :)
Hi Jason, thanks so much for providing detail on audio control with DaVinci Resolve. I am wondering if my videos are too quiet. I have the audio set to -25dB and I am not sure if this is too quiet. Though, I am just recording ambient noise typically.
I've been thinking of making a Resolve audio/loudness editing basics video - would that be helpful? What would you like me to cover?
@@JasonRobertsVideo Yeah I would love a video like that. I am wondering the best approach when levelling the sound for my virtual walking videos. Many of them are naturally pretty quiet and I want the sound to be a bit more noticeable.

Can't express how much time that saved me. Thank you.
So great to hear - thanks so much :)
So complicated, just to be ab able to not add key frames…
Use whatever works for you :) I think it depends on how long your edit is as to what would work out quicker overall
you could do the in just 30 seconds...
Do what in 30 seconds? I don't understand the comment sorry.
now obviously the weakness of the sidechain is there is no lookahead. automation will always be superior, but more time consuming. be sure to have a slow enough release so that the music doesn't pump for every short silence
I think getting the release and other settings correct is probably the more difficult parts of this approach.
Great video. How do you duck two separate dialogue tracks in version 19?
