How to check your video is loud enough in DaVinci Resolve (loudness levels for YouTube)

damn I see why this video was recommended above the others. Fantasticles!

It took me 2 weeks to finally find a video that gives me enough basic information to finish up my first video. The audio/volume level issue was really discouraging me. I'm still struggling slightly with background noise. There's an odd humming kind of noise. I don't know why. I filmed it in a forest! Anyway about to check out your other vids. Cheers!

Thanks Jason, spot on.

Very good! Thank you!

Great value! I learned a lot. Thank you so much.

You made my day!

Your volume level is so good and clear that I actually watch this video with my laptop in shopping mall during water festival in Thailand! That's how crisp and loud your sound is. Is there a way to set this up in OBS studio also?

I set the limiter on the bus track to -1 and it doesnt limit the true peak for me. Im still in the plus range

This is very useful. Thank you.

Thank you for the great information 👍

Nice video. Please, if u want to apply the limiter to two (2) or more video, How do u do it?

DaVinchi settings and especially figuring out the optimal ones for all aspects of the project are way, way more complicated for a beginner than in Premier Pro. I've never had an issue with sound in Premier Pro, and never even looked for any sound related settings. All my projects outcome was kinda WYSIWYG.

Thanks for the great detail....but "bounce mix to track" is greyed out.

Thank you!!!

Hi Jason, how do you stop mic bleed in Davinci? Ie two people speaking in two mics

Nope - all my channels are mapped to the BUS, yet the limiter on the BUS has no effect. I still go above -1. This is driving me mad - wondering if my project is fundamentally corrupted or something.

Thanks!

Really useful tutorial, easy to follow and good amount of information without being overly techie. Many thanks.

Helpful and well explained for a beginner like me. Thank you!

professional content. thanks

Excellent Video - Thank you so much!!!! Just what I needed. I'm finishing up a 40 minute documentary and I didn't know how to lock in the levels.

What is that static on your audio in this video? Why or how did that happen?

Thx Jason, this helped a lot.

great video! But on a gameplay if the audio of your game is too loud do you reccomed to turn a volume down or to add the limiter to the game track and turn the input down?

Thanks for the video, Jason! Definitely implementing these tips

Fantastic video! your straightforward and clear and concise presentation have helped me immensely with understanding how the LUFS and True Peak are controlled. I was struggling with meeting the ACX standards for book voiceovers. You saved me so much tweaking that I am very excited about moving forward with DaVinci Fairlight as my DAW of choice. Thank you!!!

Thanks for explanation :)

Exactly the video I have been looking for. Thank you :)

Good stuff!

Great video Jason! My videos were too quiet and I’ve only increased Gain on my Bus1 and applied Compressor to it to make it louder but I guess that it was a mistake and it’s better to use Limiter. Is it Ok to have compressor in both your Dialogue track and Bus1 or I should only use one Compressor?

Dear Jason. Greeting from Greece. Thats a very informative video. Well explained to the point. I just want to ask, if thats no trouble for you, If my LUFS are around -15 to -15,5, is that ok for YT? After analysing I get a 14,7 and its yellow colour. Is that ok? (I dont want to use the limiter much). Also In studio version there is a "Normalize audio" button in export. Does that do the same thing, or its better to use fairlight? Thanks a keep up the good work.

Well presented and well described. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this informative video. I am studying how this methodology can be applied to my walking videos, which are over 2 hours of continuous ambient sound.

Very informative thanks! I’ve been wondering how this works
