amazed and extremely thankful to live in a time to where knowledge like this is openly and willingly passed on without the need of paying or bartering. Even "asking" for a like and subscribe doesn't feel like bartering as it's something we are going to do anyway. It's easy to like something you like (if that makes sense) Thanks again for your time Team 2 films! For the record, this content is definitely worth paying for
Thanks so much. We're grateful to have an appreciative audience. We have fun producing these videos! We're working on some paid courses, but releasing free content will always be a core part of this channel.
I'm an audio guy and I want to offer 1 additional piece of advice. Not all softwares will read the true peak exactly the same. There are sometimes fractional differences and rounding issues when quantifying values, and because of this, if your client's spec sheet asks for a true peak of -3.0db, it is good practice to deliver -3.1db. It is an imperceptible difference, but could save you a round of revisions if their software rounds to -2.9db.
That's a fantastic suggestion. Very helpful for making sure you make legal deliveries.
is it something like whatever you upload and they compress your loudness even more? so it better to have headroom?
Refreshing to watch an audio rutorial where the audio and delivery is immaculate. Your pacing, explanations and delivery are amazing!
Thanks so much :) We're hoping to produce more audio tutorials soon.
👀I was in this video!!!
We need to do that more!!! 😎
Big fan sir i never learn anything by you becoz i have not using a good pc when I apply any of effect you teach us my pc gets stuck but i continuesly watching your videos
I understood everything, and I don't even speak English very well. This was a great video. I thought I was watching an official Davinci resolve video. Thanks!
What an awesome compliment. Thank-you for watching.
OMG, I just realized, I was watching a lot of your videos, and I’m almost embarrassed to say this, I was not even subscribed yet.
I just remedied that 🎉
Heheheh, Thank-you! Appreciate that. It's great to have you here.
Yet another perfectly presented instructional for DaVinci Resolve. Heavy on the content, concise, and easily understandable. Team 2 Films really know how to deliver. Looking forwards to more .
Thanks so much. 'Heavy on the content' is such a great compliment! We always try to make the videos as dense as possible without fluff! It's great to know we have an appreciate audience. Thanks again for watching.
Another great video. For someone who does not know much about audio your videos are super helpful as you explain everything in such a great way. Thanks for sharing 👋
Thanks so much Tony.
Finally a good video on this topic! You're brilliant!
Thank-you so much! Appreciate you commenting. Hope you enjoy our other videos too.
You are such a professional. Thank you for this information. I just subscribed with notifications on to not miss anything new. 👌🏻
Welcome. It's great to have you here. If you've not seen them already, you'll love our color management and fusion masterclasses. Also check out our Resolve 19 coverage!
Fantasticle Video!
I have been having this issue with audio leveling a lot. This video changed everything. Thank you
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
This channel is pure gold knowledge ! thank you so much for your time and effort ! It helps a lot of us getting better on resolve 😄
Our pleasure, it's nice to know it's genuinely helpful and that people are enjoying the format.
It's totally on point ! And the video quality is outstanding ! keep up the great work :)
@@team2films
Thank you so much for this. I now understand how normalization works on the deliver page AND why to use it. You just changed my workflow. 👍👍
Thanks so much. Glad it was so helpful.
Hola! What an incredible tutorial! Well done!! I learnt a lot (aimed to Normalisation as well as new words to improve my English vocabulary). Congrats again and thank you for sharing it. Cheers from Buenos Aires (AR).
Thanks so much. Glad it was helpful.
What a nice tutorial and explanation! It also showed me more things to investigate about sound editing. Thanks!!
So glad! There’s always more to learn!
Extremely helpful and straight explanation!
Thanks a lot!
My favourite film tutorial power duo strikes again
Ahhh! Thanks so much 😊
Thanks for explaining the different settings! I hadn't quite gotten my head around those till now. :)
Pleasure Gedaly. Thanks for watching.
dang, such a clear teaching style. i love this. thank you so much! subscribed
Thanks so much trey.
Such a nice and clear tutorial, i actually get to know things. thank you so much. it changed my editing life.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for amazing explanation. I like how you talk. It is easy to understand and nice to listen to.
Thanks so much
Superior video! Excellent quality. Thanks!
Thank-you very much
This is a wonderfull video packed with useful information. Thank you for not glossing over detials like defining dBFS, dBTP, and LKFS, and how each method of normilization uses them. Would recomend to anyone who is primarly a video editor who wants to start a deep dive into audio, not just Davinci Resolve users.
Thanks so much. We’re planning some more audio content later in the year.
Another great, concise video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video once again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! It was very informative and well presented. It will be great to see more quality videos like this.
Thanks so much! We're working on more stuff.
Just discovered that chanel, already seen 3 videos, so great, so clear, thanks a lot.
Glad to have you here. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
The video about audio is very informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this and all your videos. At the end of this video, you list quite a few things normalization is NOT. It makes sense but I think there's a good opportunity for a future video on mixing audio for noobs. Something like a a "start-to-finish workflow for a typical vlogging video". I tried searching your videos but didn't find something quite like that. Although I do see a few of your older videos are actually vlogging style. A tutorial about editing audio for those style videos would be really helpful for so many of us. Thanks again!
Thanks Justin, yeah, that's a brilliant idea. It's on our list for the future. We might even make a mini course on it.
I haven’t even watched it yet and I know this is useful, thank you
I hope it lives up to your expectations :) Thanks for commenting.
wow this is such a great tutorial. all those complicated sounding names easy explained. thanks for that ^^
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank-you for watching.
thank you for the in-depth video
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching.
I used to see people normalize then add compression in tutorials which never made sense to me - seems that logically it would be better to add compression and squeeze the dynamics first rather than normalize it first. I guess with this being on the delivery page, that the normalization would be done after. Thanks for showing us the different normalization parameters - will definitely help people get the right levels for different services. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much Jim.
Some food for thought... I don't think this is the situation you were describing but on a related topic, there are situations when you might want to normalise before operations like compression. For example; it's typical to record audio with attenuation in order to leave headroom for loud sounds. If you put that audio on a track with a track level compressor configured, that compressor is designed to work with audio at a given level. You could use loudness normalisation (either independent or relative) to bring each clip up to a 'normal' level so that it works better with the compressor. It's much quicker and more consistent to use the normalisation tool than trying to guess it manually with the gain controls in the inspector. It would still be necessary though to normalise the entire mix when delivering the video.
In the instance of our tutorial videos... we both use the same templated timeline. My audio is generally quieter than Leon's so I apply gain to my recordings before they go through our template compressor/gate. Although we're not using the normaliser, we're essentially doing the same thing manually, just using figures that we know work from experience. Loudness normalisation is definitely the way to go for deliveries. We wanted to explain sample peak and true peak so people understood why loudness normalisation is better.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting as always.
Another characteristically superb video tutorial. A great topic for a future deep-dive video could be a start to finish look at getting good voice audio, and especially dealing with audio recorded onllin less than ideal conditions.
Thanks so much. Yes, we want to do a masterclass on audio workflows that will deal with basic mixing and mastering for VO. Thanks for commenting.
Wow, this video was really complete! Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much
Lovley ! Thanks so much for that 😀
You are very welcome! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you for the help! Its a good start for me, very helpful!

it's so useful for youtube content creator, thank you so much
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Really excellent, thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much.
Superb, as ever
Thanks so much.
Great content, and presented very well. thank you
Thanks so much.
Thank You!
The female presenter reminds me of an OG TH-cam presenter Sydney Myers, who used to feature on a tech channel called PhoneDog, now called SourceForge. Your mannerisms, tone and facial features hint a subliminal similarity.
Thanks for watching 😊
Excellent stuff - really useful. Also, I like the grade and lighting on all your videos, can you do a video on how you light and grade your videos, that would be great!
Yeah, sure! We'll make something on that in the future. Glad the video was helpful.
excellent video and info, thank you
You are very welcome.
cool, learned a lot, thanks
Our pleasure, thanks for watching.
I learned a lot in less than 10mins...thank you~
You are welcome
Excellent presentation. Especially as a sound guy, I find there is a lack of competent audio related Davinci tutorials.
Ah thanks so much! That means a lot coming from yourself. We're editors and colourists first... so when we speak on audio we really try to make sure we've got it right. Hopefully we can get more competent content out there for everyone.
@@team2filmsAs more audio people start using video in their workflow instead of just handing it off to the video editors, there will be more need to know about both. I find video editors have more technical demands and are closer to the end product so they have to know more. Thanks again.
Merci pour votre vidéo j'ai vraiment apprécié
bonne journée du grand nord Québécois, Canada
C'est notre plaisir. Merci d'avoir regardé
Thank you!
You're welcome.
This feature is very underrated. Thanks for another lovely tutorial. Like and sub of course :)
So glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching :)
Great video and I love your delivery. (Pun intended.)
🤣 Thanks so much :)
Very usefull. Thks a lot.
Our pleasure.
Long time no see btw Great video Thanks for the education
Thanks so much! Sorry, if our release cycle has been a little slower, we've been working on some longer projects that take more time to produce. Hopefully we'll be back to our regular schedule soon.
@@team2films Hopefully
Good info! I would underscore that in 99% of cases, dynamics work is necessary - compression and possibly a touch of limiting. And it can be tricky to turn on the normalization feature on export unless you're very careful to create enough headroom in your audio before you export.
Hello @curtisjudd We love your videos! You are our go to resource for information on professional audio capture.
Yes, that's a great point you make. We completely agree that dynamics is necessary in most cases. This video started as a simple feature explainer. If we had known this video would be so popular we'd have given a better overview of the entire workflow! We're planning to remedy that in the future with a basic audio mixing workflow tutorial.
Interestingly, Resolve now has an 'optimise' on delivery option too, which we believe applies a small amount of compression and limiting to further enhance the normalisation process.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@team2films Keep up the great work!
i'm in love! the words compressor, and limiter never sounded so nice! Tel me more!!!!
Glad you are enjoying the video. Thanks
This is my go to for quick reference when I want to refresh some technique. They are well explained with great clarity and useful application.
May I suggest a possible topic? I would love to see a tutorial exploring the order in which we should add audio tools, like EQ, compressor, gates, normalization, etc. I want to make sure I am applying them in the best order. Thanks.
Thanks David. We're planning to do a masterclass on audio workflow. It will deal with the things you mentioned for sure. Appreciate having your here and thanks for your kind words and support.
I have some issues with volume, publishing my music on YT (sythesizer music). They somehow reduce it to very quiet. I saw some Resolve instructions... but this one is by farest the best!!! You have the secret recipe how to explain👍 Unfortunately I can only experiment and find out solutions by publishing. We'll see... hear😉
Thanks so much. Glad the video was so helpful. Great to have you here.
@@team2films Changed from tablet account to main. To repeat: mylady, your explanations of Resolve are extraordinary! BUT ... I still have some serious questions left. Needless to say, that this dB scale and its numerous derivations are one of the most strange things, human brain has ever invented. Besides quantum physics ... or the imperial system of measurement😅
Don't want to bore you with synths and how to mixdown. A science of itself. Nevertheless I assume, that such machines are the decisive part here. Raises the question, what part Resolve is playing; to which degree.
1. Yesterday I fumbled and published a new video, which - thanx to your explanations - has the perfect!!! values, recommended for YT. According the stats I have 1dB more than you, BUT am a galaxy quieter than you!?😳🤪 Confusion!
Hearing your videos with 50% volume (soft-slider) is roughly the same like hearing mine with 100%.
2. In my last short I made a different experiment .. I like experiments. In physics no theory is worth anything without confirming experiments. So I pushed up all software sliders to max ... red, reder, the redest. Result: much louder YT video, no clipping, no overdrive, no anything. Simply louder. So what?🤥 By the way: I can produce "overdrive" with my synth. But obviously not with Resolve. Fits well to my understanding!
Question: To my personal understanding such things like "overdrive" or whatever is depending on the device; HARDware. Some circuits perform more, some less, some speakers endure more, some less. So, how does the software "think"? What's its reference? Why and how does it decide what is red and what is green area?
And if I can brainlessly hammer the sliders to max, and nothing bad happens ... what sense does it make to adjust - labor intensively - anything??? My humble mixdown doesn't suffer anything from that. Only louder ... what I want to achieve.
Can you recommend videos/papers, dealing with that? "Beginners level" please, because despite my electrical and physical education, "accoustics" causes serious problems in understanding🙃
looking at your tutorial, I saw that you used Davinci Resolve's keyboard editor. Would it be possible for you to do a tutorial on this subject? Thank you
Yes, definitely. It's on our list to produce a video on the keyboard editor and speed editor. Thanks for watching.
8:23 "A single loud sound will cause attenuation to your entire recording". Yikes, as a non-sound person, that scares me, but I like the idea of having a normalization otherwise. Any thoughts on this from you pro audio people, other than extreme manual mixing? I'm just an indie filmmaker without $$ or knowledge to properly mix manually.
To emphasise, as stated in the video.... Normalisation is not a tool for lowering dynamic range in your mix. That's what compressors and limiters are for. In a well mixed video:
1. A technician will mix and individually normalise audio clips in the edit.
2. Then apply appropriate compression and limiters to reduce the dynamic range to an acceptable level.
3. Then apply one final round of normalisation to make sure the final delivery will pass 'QC'. (This is the part of the process that was explained in this video).
I think a lot of people have come across this video and misunderstood normalisation's purpose. This is not a video about how to mix your audio. It's an explainer of a new tool that was introduced in DaVinci Resolve 18.6. A tool that a great deal of audio pros will be delighted to see. Compressors and tools like Resolve's dialogue leveller are the antidote to the 'extreme manual mixing' that you mentioned.
Would welcome others comments too. Does that explanation help? Would love to hear back from you.
amazing video, thankyou so much for sharing this :)
I have two questions.
1. Can I normalize just one channel in fairlight? So just the sound?
2. If I normalize for youtube will the volume of the music go up and down as well or is it just the dialogue track that is touched?
Thanks so much. We appreciate you commenting.
It's possible to normalise individual audio clips. It's in the right-click menu. If you want to normalise an entire track, just select all the clips in the track. Don't forget, all normalisation does is adjust the volume. It doesn't apply any dynamics or compression. If you want the volume of music to go up and down, you want to investigate a technique called ducking. This can be achieved in Resolve using a side chain.
nice video buy...i have no "normalization" settings in the audio render tab of Da Vinci. How could I make it appear? Thanks
What version of Resolve are you using?
If I have a 32bit float audio recording, and want to raise the valleys and bring down the peaks, what would be the steps? would I need to set a limiter then normalize?
You need a compressor. That will help you lower dynamic range in your recordings. Alternatively, try the dialogue leveller in the studio version. It's excellent.
what a beautiful and professional trainer❤❤❤
Thank-you
The first time anyone has been able to explain to me what exactly the Normalise does in DaVinci so thank you. With your great simple explanations I would love a video on mixing the track ready to be normalised as this would be super helpful to me. At the moment I use Auphonics to normalise the final mix but I am never sure if what I am sending it the best mix for normalisation.
One thing I did find in a video by an editor for television he said he normalised all the tracks to -14 LUF before mixing them. Is this a good thing to do?
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes, we've definitely got it on our list to make some videos about mixing audio, recording audio, and tools like compressors and limiters.
Normalising each track to -14 LUFS before mixing might cause issues. Not every track should be the same loudness. For example, a sfx track with really quiet sounds will sound too loud if normalised to -14 LUFS. I'm sure there are scenarios where it is helpful, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to do as a blanket rule.
Does that make sense?
@@team2films Thanks for replying. I look forward to the video on mixing tracks especially if they are at a level all can understand. I in the past have seen so many on compressors or normalisation that do not really explain how to do it if you have never used a compressor before. Also I have seen normalisation using just a limiter which seems great but would love to know the plus and minus of doing it this way.
@@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker Thanks Dave. We're excited about making the video on mixing and compressors. Just need to find the time to do it! In the meantime, a quick answer for you. Using a limiter on something is not the same as normalising. Normalising does not change the dynamic range of a recording. Using a limiter definitely does change the dynamic range of something.
@@team2films I think I will be patient and wait until you have the time or else I may get more confused than I am already.;
is there any normalization function in edit / fairlight pages? id like to knopw how well it will work b4 export
No, there is no simple way to preview the normalisation without bouncing (basically pre-rendering) the audio.
Do you know what the preset would be for a DCP in the theaters? Should it be the ITU-R-BS 1770-4 you mentioned?
Hello, no sorry! Not sure what the delivery standards for DCP are.
@@team2films Ok. Thanks.
How do i hear what the TH-cam preset sounds like before Actually exporting the video?
Good question. It's going to sound the same as your current mix, just a little bit louder or a little bit quieter. As it requires the entire mix being scanned so the appropriate attenuation or gain can be set, you can only really hear it after export.
Hi. Great info. Can I ask, when I have multiple tracks with background music and effects, normalisation is not an option because it will bring everything up? Thanks
Good question! In the example shown, we used normalisation when delivering a mix that was spread across multiple tracks.
As mentioned, normalisation won't fix a bad mix, you need to even out your tracks yourself. It will just add gain or attenuation to the entire mix to make sure it hits your client's expected delivery standards.
Does that help?
Thanks for your respond. So if I understand correctly If I have secondary tracks that I use for ambience or sfx, I cant use normalisation on export cause it will ad gain to all those ambient tracks. Correct? (sorry my English is not so aqqurate). Thanks
@@SCVisualArt Sorry if we did not explain that clearly. Yes, you can use normalisation on a mix. That's exactly what we had done in our demonstration. If your final mix is quiet, yes it will increase the volume of your ambience, but it will also increase the volume of your music and dialogue too. Therefore it will maintain the relationship between different sounds that you established in your mix. You can think of normalisation as being like turning the volume knob up on your amplifier or speakers so that your mix plays at an appropriate volume. The volume knob does not re-mix your audio.
You are awesome. Thanks👍
At 6:01 the shortcuts Alt + Solo (or Option + Solo) to solo différents tracks in only one clic Work in The Edit Tab, BUT NOT IN FAIRLIGHT. BlackMagic, please , fix this BUUUUUG !!!!
Ah yeah!! That's a good point. There are definitely some areas where there could be more consistency between pages.
I cant find an answer to this question.
If I bring a 23.98fps audio into 24fps sequence will it automatically adjust and be in sync ?
I was told its not but I think it will since its not fps based but sample rate based.
Who is right?
As long as the visuals are not retimed, the audio should be fine. In all likelihood, both recordings will feature audio with the same sample rate, 48,000Hz.
how to fix phase alignment issues between Boom & lav mic in resolve, like when we use Sound Radix Auto Align before starting the work, kindly help
That's a great question. We've added it to the top of our list to cover in a future video.
@@team2filmskindly I am still waiting for this I need it, please make it nobody has made tutorial about this
So here’s a question, when working with your output volume (speakers, computer) what level do you keep it on? Max volume or halfway? Which would be a better indicator
It depends on your speakers and the room you are in. There's no set level for the volume knob. The following might be helpful though:
1. We've seen people recommend somewhere around 70db.
2. Whatever you set it to, consistency will help. You'll get used to the volume your speakers run at.
@@team2films thank you 🙏🏽
I am struggling getting back on the horse with Audio cause I edit for so many different video types where clients want high or low so it throws you off a bit
Can you provide any more information about the problem you are describing?
This has never happened in Premier Pro. I rendered a video in DaVinci with the Normalise option on and TH-cam Mode. I like how it sounds in the final file. But what I found in the Stats for nerds after the upload is kinda weird: Volume/Normalized 100%/100٪ (content loudness -22.5 dB) and the volume of the sound is significantly lower from the original. Why Davinchi or TH-cam didn't normalize my sound track to -14 LUFS?
Hello. What is the -22.5 measurement? Is that long, short, peak? It's difficult to diagnose your problem without knowing how the audio is being measured.
You might enjoy the new optimise on delivery feature in Resolve 19. Check out our video covering the new audio features in 19.
@@team2films , right click on your video on TH-cam and select "Stats for nerds".
yes-a
Is this channel English Listening class?
Can it be both editing training and English listening!? Thanks for watching.
Fun fact. This video is wrongly normalized. Stats for nerds shows: Volume / Normalized 95% / 95% (content loudness -2.8dB), which means YT dropped the volume by 2.8dB. This is a lot.
Fun! How are you analysing the video, and what standard are you using?
The compressor is ten thousand times better than this 😅
The compressor does a very different job. It's very difficult to directly compare them.
@@coffeelover1456 Thanks for watching. May I ask, on what basis do you think this is nonsense?
Yikes… what a terribly explained procedure… we know it’s not your fault. Somebody must’ve written this for you. But such a complicated procedure and you try to explain it in just a few minutes. Which is almost impossible. Better idea… If you want to be a video editor you really need to understand sound, and how to mix it by yourself without normalization. A single peak can bring down your entire mix? ? Sounds like complete bullshit to me. if the audio is really important, I take it into logic Pro, mix it there, and bring it back into resolve. A much better Way of working.
Hi! Thanks for watching. We write our own videos. And the video was definitely more than a few minutes.
I’m not sure you understood the video. As mentioned, normalisation is not a substitute for mixing your audio. It’s a final step to be applied to make sure your mix is legal and as consistent as possible.
Resolve has excellent audio mixing tools in the fairlight page. There’s no need to round trip to Logic Pro to produce professional audio. Normalisation is also available and used in Logic Pro and will work the same way.
If you are trying to reduce dynamic range you want a compressor or limiter. We’ll be producing videos later this year on mixing audio in Resolve. Thanks again for watching.
