How to REMOVE BACKGROUND NOISE in DaVinci Resolve 18 (FREE VERSION)

in this video I'm going to show you how to reduce and maybe even remove annoying background sounds in DaVinci Resolve and yes of course in a perfect world you would have triple checked to make sure that the fridge was unplugged and the air conditioner was off and there were no annoying background noises going on when you're recording your audio but hey sometimes in real life you're in a rush or maybe you're wearing too many hats on set and you neglect to make sure your audio is perfect before pressing record that's where this tutorial should help you out one thing I want to point out before we hop into resolve is when you're recording audio you always want to record at least 10 seconds of room tone so that you've captured the natural sounds of your environment and you'll want to be aware that when you are trying to remove a certain sound from dialogue audio you're also going to be removing some of the natural frequencies of that person's voice so you want to find the balance between reducing that sound and still keeping the person's voice sounding natural oh and if you're new here I'm Ali and will and I release weekly ish tutorials all about video creation editing as well as Gear reviews if you're into that sort of thing to stay in the loop subscribe to our Channel and now grab a pair of headphones or make sure you've got your good speakers turned up let's hop into resolve and check this out all right so we're in DaVinci Resolve let's pop over to the fairlight page and have a listen to this clip so in this video I'm going to share the top tips that are really easy to apply right away if you do want to get better on camera all right let's see what we can do to reduce and maybe even remove that bring our cursor to the beginning of our clip and hit I on our keyboard to create an endpoint go to the end of the clip hit o to create an out point and we're also going to turn loop on which is this circular Arrow here so that this track Loops as we're working on it I also want to move my workspace around a little bit so I can see what's going on in the mixer tab here let's drag our viewer up under A1 which is the audio track that our audio is on where it says effects click on the plus icon go to Restoration and choose noise reduction this is our noise reduction window and we're not going to worry about all of these dials at the bottom here because they're more advanced time consuming and the techniques I'm going to show you do a pretty good job when this button's red that means the effect is active we're going to turn it on and off as we're listening to hear the before and after as we played this through so let's first test out Auto speech mode this comes in handy if you're stuck because you don't really have any room tone recorded it lets DaVinci decide which parts of the audio are voice and which are background noise and then it will remove what it considers to be background noise so let's have a listen to how Auto speech mode did so in this video I'm going to share the top tips that are really easy to apply right away if you do want to get better on camera okay so with this particular audio auto speech mode did an okay job of removing the background noise but it did also remove some of the natural frequencies in my voice it's making my voice sound a little muffled and distorted and kind of more robotic than I'm going for oh and if we want to get an idea of which part of our audio Da Vinci is removing we can choose listen to noise only this will let us know what DaVinci's considering as background noise and removing thank you okay uh yeah that's a little too possessed demon for my ears so depending on your audio and the type of background noise that you're trying to remove out of speech mode might do a better job for you than it did for me but I actually prefer using manual mode I'll show you why in just a second first let's go up to the top right here and hit this circular Arrow to reset this effect Now by default we are in manual mode let's bring our cursor to where the room tone begins and press learn which will detect the background noise inner audio that we want to remove let's hit the spacebar on our keyboard to play that room tone hit the space bar again to stop playback okay DaVinci has worked its magic and learned the background noise so now anything that matches that noise inner dialogue will be removed let's have a listen to the before and after so in this video I'm going to share the top tips that are really easy to apply right away if you do want to get better on camera and there you go that's how to reduce and maybe even remove annoying background noise in your audio in DaVinci Resolve on a side note I've been thinking about creating a tutorial that goes more in depth with how to make your dialogue audio sound great in DaVinci Resolve if that's something you're into and you want to see let me know in the comments below subscribe for weekly-ish tutorials all about video
