EQ- Effects- Dynamics Order in Resolve 16

PostTue Jun 01, 2021 5:03 pm

I've seen that Resolve 17 now has the option to select the order that audio options are applied to a track (e.g., EQ - Effects- Dynamics). I am still in Resolve 16 and wondering what the default order is in 16, since there does not appear to be an option to manipulate it. Is it just in the order that the effects, EQ, and Dynamics were applied to the particular track? Does the order of application present a potential significant change in sound quality such that it would behoove one to load a Resolve 16 project into Resolve 17 to see how the audio sounds from different order of application?

It really depends on what you do.

A source with a lot of low end for example will often lead to people cutting or lowering that. If you put an EQ first and lower that part of the signal a compressor that's after the EQ will react to a signal with less low end energy. If you then swap the order the low end will be back at the input of the compressor and it'll compress more.

It just depends.

All right, thank you- it's mostly voiceover, and I've done a lot of the compression manually (i.e., key framing peaks so that they lower to exactly what I want for that particular section of the audio). I do have a multiband compressor effect to "sweeten" the voice a bit, along with EQ already applied.
