TY that was really helpful! I have to mention (I'm sorry)....I cannot stand background music while someone is speaking it is a huge annoyance & I don't get it. But, of course, my personal pet peeve I really do appreciate this video TY!

One day I will buy all these equipment and do this. Hence, commenting here so that it is easy to find this video once I am ready.

All right, let me now go and prepare for interviews so that I can get a job to afford the equipment.

It's 2 AM now - probably should get some sleep. But wait, need to brush before that.

Ah! I need to watch a video while brushing... so let me watch a video on "How to Record Voiceovers in DaVinci Resolve 18" :D

Thanks for the great help. Is there a way to record a voice over while seeing the timeline playing ? Nervermind, I can see it in very small in dual screen mode :) All I have to do is resize that section.

You solved my problem telling me about that R on the left, thanks

Hey Paul,

Great video! I have a slight problem though and I was hoping you could help me out. I am using the RodeCaster Pro II and I cannot get a signal into DaVinci for the life of me. I did everything you did in this video and when clicking "R" to record arm the track, I don't get any levels in my meter. I hit the record button and do a test recording and when I stop the recording, again there is no audio being recorded. Can you please help me out; not sure what I am doing wrong at this point.

Hi, I have tried the same steps but no success. Is it necessary to use external microphone or you can use the built in microphone in the laptop for voiceover. Thanks

[moodberry]

I was hoping to hear you tell me how to use the audio meters while recording to ensure the input volumes were sufficient. IOW, was I too close to the mic or too far away? Do you have any tips on that?

[AmazingPhilippines]

Thanks for the info. One suggestion for everyone during these tutorials is to use a larger cursor and/or colored cursor so it is easier to follow your quick movements around the site.

[musolo]

can Fairlight use effects for pre-processing of the voice kinda like OBS filters do?
