Les secrets d'un bon mixage de voix⎟Tuto DaVinci Resolve

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the essential steps for achieving a professional vocal mix using DaVinci Resolve. Whether you are a beginner or looking to enhance your audio skills, this guide will provide you with practical techniques to improve the quality of your voice recordings.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Project

• Open DaVinci Resolve and create a new project.
• Import your audio tracks by dragging them into the media pool.
• Create a new timeline by right-clicking in the media pool and selecting "Create New Timeline."
• Arrange your vocal track on the timeline for easy access during the mixing process.

Step 2: Analyzing Your Audio

• Play the audio track and listen for any issues such as background noise or uneven levels.
• Use the waveform display to identify parts of the audio that may need adjustments.
• Take notes on specific sections that require enhancement or correction.

Step 3: Cleaning Up the Vocals

• Apply noise reduction to eliminate background sounds:
  • Select the vocal track and navigate to the "Fairlight" tab.
  • Use the “Noise Reduction” effect to clean up unwanted noise.
• Use the “Equalizer” to adjust frequencies:
  • Boost higher frequencies (around 5kHz to 10kHz) to add clarity.
  • Cut lower frequencies (below 100Hz) to remove muddiness.

Step 4: Adding Compression

• Compress the vocals to even out the dynamics:
  • Select the vocal track and add a compressor from the effects library.
  • Set the ratio to around 3:1 to start.
  • Adjust the threshold until the compressor engages during louder parts of the vocal.
• Use makeup gain to ensure the overall level remains consistent.

Step 5: Using Reverb and Delay

• Add reverb to create a sense of space:
  • Choose a reverb effect from the library and apply it to the vocal track.
  • Adjust the mix level to ensure the reverb complements rather than overpowers the vocals.
• Apply a subtle delay effect for depth:
  • Use a delay plugin and set a short time interval (around 100-200ms).
  • Keep the feedback low to prevent the delay from becoming overwhelming.

Step 6: Final Adjustments and Exporting

• Listen to your mix on different speakers or headphones to ensure consistency.
• Make final tweaks to levels, EQ, and effects based on your listening experience.
• Once satisfied, export your project:
  • Go to the “Deliver” tab.
  • Select your desired format and quality settings, then click “Add to Render Queue.”
  • Start the render process to output your final mixed track.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can enhance your vocal mixes in DaVinci Resolve, creating clear and professional-sounding audio. Experiment with different effects and settings to find the best sound for your projects.
