- Music too loud? Can't hear the dialogue? This is a Pro Tools and DaVinci Resolve (Fairlight) tutorial on getting a quick mix using side-chain compression to duck music.
If you don't have faders, or lack the time to "mouse mix" and draw in volume automation to duck your music under dialogue or voice over, here is a quick way to lower that bombastic score under voices. Please remember, this is a "down and dirty" method, and creating the mix by hand will always yield better results.

Hello Tom. I would like to leave this testimony to tell you how important your videos are. I am seriously committed to gaining skills to become a dialogue editor / post-production professional. You must be aware of how difficult it is to find people who are willing, or even have the time, to dedicate to sharing their knowledge. So this message is to say 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH' and to express how important and appreciated your videos are. Keep posting!
Thanks, hearing stuff like this keeps me making videos. You made my day!
@@ThomasBoykinwell deserved!
In all honesty this was the clearest example I've seen of compression actually compressing something. Usually the impact is so subtle I can't really tell the difference . Compression in general escapes me. I get EQ and how it impacts whatever you are applying it to. I understand compression as a concept. However Compression is something I haven't been able to grasp in terms of seeing it actually working. A dialogue compression tutorial in Fairlight would be very useful I think.
Great stuff! An S1 mixing/editing tutorial would be amazing 🙌
And bus to bus sidechaining would be dope too.
Great video! I hope Davinci implements VST sidechaining soon
Indeed. For those of us who are stupid or masochistic enough (myself included) to be mixing large projects in Resolve, this would be a very nice QOL inclusion.
@@SenatorBananayou mix large formats on resolve 😮.
Sounds like a nightmare.
@@RoidRooster It is indeed a nightmare. The potential is definitely there for Fairlight but it is so buggy at the moment. I never thought I'd wish I was working in Protools yet here I am...
@@SenatorBanana yeah I feel like the potential is more there for larger Nuendo adaptation, but for smaller content people would I imagine like to do things in fair light.
I have no quarrels with Avid and love PT. It may not have features like say Nuendo… but it’s a mule and does everything that you would ever need.. plus the editing side for audio post is unrivaled I feel like.
This is amazing, thank you for the video
Anytime
Would love if you made videos comparing Fairlight and Pro Tools, speecifically what Fairlight needs to become a Pro Tools competitor
Yes I will second this request. I use fairlight, but I flirt with the idea of using Pro Tools But I'm more interested in what the gap is between the two from a professionals point of view.
Always a tried and good backup method in the toolbox. Thanks for showing it again. There are number of plugins that can can be useful instead of a basic compressor, but still using a side chain. WaveriderTG is really good as it's fast enough to react to dialog. PowerAir is also pretty decent in that regard. Waves VocalRider belongs to the same class, though I'm less impressed by it. Doing it by hand of course is best if there's budget and time for it. One thing with Waverider is that it can write an automation lane and then read it. So you can use it to do an initial automation pass which you can refine. That's in between full manual and machine assisted.
Yep, I’ve tried most of those and don’t like them
Great share. Thanks. I am unfamiliar with Da Vinci's audio editing. I assume,,,, not sure?,, if you can import or export between this and Pro Tools for audio editing?
Yes, with a few hiccups
Love your videos! How do you like Fairlight? Would you consider it as an alternative to Protools for post sound? Would love to have some tutorials on fairlight for dialogue editing.
It's interesting! Some of the things I don't like about it are probably just new to me. But I think you could get just as good of a dialogue edit and mix in Fairlight as Pro Tools if you spent the time learning how to use it as your only option. PT is still faster at actual editing, and probably always will be.
Is there a reason why you used a bus send instead of the built-in send in the compressor? My guess is that it's so you can control the send level?
Correct
I don’t know a single person using resolve for mixing anything.
