Hi!
i have a lot of Audio-work to do within DR (adapting TVCs into a lot of different languages).
My biggest problem is, that speed and timing changes of audio(voice-over) are not usable, because it sounds
way too bad for professional use... so i always have to roundtrip audio to external solutions.

It would be great if BMD could enhance the audio time compression/expansion with better algorithms.

Or are there any plugins/tools with a tight integration into DR/Fairlight ?
i have a AU-version of melodyne (Which sounds good), but the workflow using it in DR is not satisfying...

Any other ideas except of asking BMD for an optimization here?

Thanks, Daniel

You can set up Resolve to work with external audio processors. Might be worth a look.

How is it not satisfying? I ask because I assume it works like any other plugin, so is it a problem with plugins in general, with heavily-computational plugins, or just with Melodyne?

You might consider iZotope's RX 8 tool. You can get RX Elements 8 -- which includes the editor and four useful plugins beyond the editor's base capabilities -- for $130 normally, but I got it really cheap on a sale. There are more advanced editions (Standard, Advanced) that include more plugins and cost more. In the case of Advanced, a LOT more.

The editor works with Resolves external editor capability. You set it up as a command-line capable external editor in Resolve and then you can right-click on the audio and send it to RX and Resolve makes a copy of the audio file and opens RX on that copy. It has a reputable time-stretching ability. Plus you can also edit in the spectrum view which can solve some noise issues you really can't solve in any other way.

I have and use Melodyne, but haven't done any testing of the integration with DVR 17 yet.

What problem are you having with the integration, and how do you have it set up?

Rx isn't bad either, but if you already have Melodyne I'd stick to that.

Unfortunately for voice stretching , pitch n time pro is the best option but is only an AAX plugin. I remember it used to be built into Fairlight so maybe one day it will return?

It’s a shame you need Pro Tools to access it.

For other tracks, you could try to use the speed adjustment without affecting pitch, and use other pitch correctors as inserts such as elastique oitch

Generally melodyne works in DR as expected. My main problem is, that changes made in melodyne are not visible in my DR Audiotrack...so if i try to match audio to picture, it is a cumbersome workflow as i a always have to switch between EDIT-Page and Fairlight/Melodyne...it´ s just very unintuitive editing.

So right now i followed the tip of using external audio-processing which makes life easier for me...
