with the increasing importance of sound, I could well imagine adding a spectral analysis tool to DR. This would allow to eliminate sound disturbances very precisely without letting the overall character of the sound suffer too much.:

While filming an interview once, a cell phone went off.

Using the Spectral Analysis view in Adobe Audition, it was very easy to see the ring and get rid of it without degrading the dialog.

This would be a valuable addition to Fairlight.

The interest in this topic seems to me to be relatively low. However, the proposal is a highly effective tool. Perhaps it would be better to change the title to "fairlight: targeted spectrum cutting." Or just "fairlight: highly effective tool". What do you think? Thanks, so long

I think the title is fine. This part of the forum just doesn't get as many views or posts as the main forum.

FYI There was a request for this previously, a version or two ago.

Thanks,
From this one could conclude that this so effective tool should not be included in DR or that they might have forgotten it. Both would be a great pity.

I agree that it would be useful. Hopefully they're taking note.

Now that's a non sequitur.

Absent any real data from BMD, the only conclusion you can draw from a requested feature not yet implemented is that it's...not yet implemented. Any other conclusion is unwarranted speculation.

Don't give up hope.

somewhere I read that BM is currently working more and more on integrating improvements into fairlight. Wouldn't that be the best opportunity to integrate spectral analysis right now?

I would not complain if it showed up in the next version.

So then my last try

Dear BM,
spectral analysis would probably give Resolve a unique selling point. Have courage

Not terribly unique. Like I said earlier, Audition has the feature. (Has for years.)

I think BMD is playing catch-up on this one. But that's good incentive, maybe. They worked very hard to bring Resolve's editing capabilities up to snuff.

I quite agree. What BMD has achieved so far is extraordinary. That's why I switched to this program and have never regretted it for a second. My suggestion is also not to be seen as a complaint of a dissatisfied person.
In a film editing program it would just be nice being able to use spectral analysis, although it is not absolutely necessary.

So far so good

Or that there is a long list of things to do.

+1 This will make editing long interviews so much easier.

yes, we all know that. Thanks again for all the work and the long list that still has to be worked through and into which perhaps one day even spetral analysis could be added.
never give up

+1 for Spectral Analysis/Spectrogram Input/Output audio displays.

If this is something you need right now you can always use iZotopes RX8 Pro edition to accomplish the same thing.

IMO this is likely not a priority fir BM because many (including myself) use iZotope RX which is relatively inexpensive and has excellent spectral tools.

It's the one thing I really miss from Audition (which I no longer use from my switch to premiere). Audition as a whole is a lot better, but mostly unnecessary for most video audio, imo.

In the meantime, anyone have any recs for a DAW that pairs nicely with davinci for the more advanced stuff?

+1 Would be a really valuable addition.

I would love to be able to leave Audacity out of my workflow, but being able to see breaths and other small noises is too valuable.

please, work on those......
