How to Remove Background Noise in DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve has two tools: the Noise Reduction effect on the Fairlight page (free version) and Voice Isolation (Studio version only).

Noise Reduction in the free version

  1. Go to the Fairlight page and open the Effects Library.
  2. Under Audio FX > Fairlight FX, drag Noise Reduction onto your clip.
  3. In the effect window, pick Auto Speech Mode, or play a section with only noise and click Learn.
  4. Adjust Threshold and Attack until the noise drops without the voice sounding hollow.
  5. Studio users: select the clip on the Edit page, open the Inspector > Audio and turn on Voice Isolation.

Tips

Still hearing noise?

If you use the free version and need Voice Isolation-style cleanup, upload the clip to Denoiso instead. Preview 30 seconds for free and pay $1.49 only if it sounds better.
