In this review, I demonstrate how to make a boom or shotgun microphone and a lavalier microphone sound the same so that you can cut between them in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight version 20. We’ll use the EQ match feature. Then we’ll compare it to Fabfilter Pro Q4’s EQ match feature.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See school.learnlightandsound.com for more info!
