DaVinci Resolve 20: Voice Isolation tutorial

Jason Yadlovski demonstrates AI Voice Isolation in DaVinci Resolve Studio through recordings with waterfall, generator, wind, chainsaw and fan noise. The tutorial concerns Resolve 20 and makes clear that this feature requires Studio; it is unavailable in the free version.

The walkthrough uses the Edit page. Select a clip, open the Inspector's Audio tab and enable AI Voice Isolation, then adjust its amount slider. Yadlovski also shows how to select an entire audio track or switch between clip and track controls in the Inspector. He notes that the feature is available on the Cut and Fairlight pages too.

The examples explain why the amount needs adjustment for each recording. For Niagara Falls, he prefers roughly 40% so the waterfall remains audible beneath the dialogue. He reports using about 83% for the generator example and starts around 20% for the studio fan recording. These are settings for his samples, rather than universal recommendations.

Yadlovski warns that pushing isolation to 100% can distort dialogue. His advice is to start low, listen during playback and increase the amount only as needed. The demonstrations focus on reducing competing noise while retaining usable speech; his positive assessments reflect these particular recordings.
