Fortunately, DaVinci Resolve provides several intuitive tools that make it easy to modify or eliminate background music from your videos. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the step-by-step process of removing background music, empowering you to refine your video’s audio precisely.
Using the Fairlight Audio Editor
To remove background music using the Fairlight Audio Editor:
- Select the audio track containing the background music in the Media Pool.
- Open the Fairlight Audio Editor by clicking on the “Audio” tab in the workspace and selecting the “Fairlight” tab within it. Your audio clip will appear in the Fairlight editor’s timeline.
- Identify the background music section in the waveform display. It typically appears as a distinct region with a different amplitude pattern than the dialogue or other desired audio.
- Split the audio clip at the start and end of the background music section using the S key or the “Split Clip” button in the toolbar.
- Delete the unwanted section by selecting it and pressing the Delete key.
- Close the Fairlight Audio Editor and save the changes to the audio track.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select the audio track with background music. |
| 2 | Open the Fairlight Audio Editor, identify the background music section, and split the clip. |
| 3 | Delete the unwanted section, save changes, and close the Audio Editor. |
Isolating the Music with the Noise and Hum Reduction Tool
Blackmagic’s noise reduction tool can be used to effectively isolate music in your clips with a few simple steps.
1. Copy the clip you want to remove the background music from onto a new timeline and apply the noise reduction.
2. Using the eyedropper tool on the noise reduction effect, use the eyedropper tool to select an area of the clip that contains only background noise. This will adjust the noise reduction settings to target the specific frequencies of the background music.
3. This is where you can get creative with the noise reduction settings. Here are the most important settings to adjust, in order:
| Reduction | Sets the overall strength of the noise reduction. |
| Noise Threshold | Controls the level of noise that is recognized and removed. |
| Frequency Band | Allows you to adjust the range of the frequencies that are targeted by the noise reduction. |
| Attack | Sets how quickly the noise reduction responds to changes in the audio. |
| Release | Controls how long the noise reduction takes to stop reducing noise after the change in audio has passed. |
4. Listen to the clip and make adjustments as you see fit. The goal is to remove the background music without affecting the rest of the audio too much.
