Forget generic presets and magic numbers; this tutorial gives you a complete, repeatable audio editing workflow to solve common problems and enhance your voice recordings.

Learn how professional editors think, and how to use that thinking in DaVinci Resolve. I'm Thom Lyons. I've been editing since 2004. I'm the Lead Video Editor at Visual+Aid Productions and a Blackmagic Design Certified Master Trainer. I started as a runner, moved up to assistant editor, became an editor, and now I lead a team of editors. Along the way I learned that good editing isn't about knowing every feature. It's about making choices for a reason. Think of this channel as the experienced editor sitting next to you, asking, "Why are you doing it that way?" New to editing? I'll help you build the habits that matter first. Already edit in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or Avid? Bring your skills with you. I'll show you how Resolve thinks, so you're not fighting it. You don't need to learn all of Resolve. Learn one skill. Understand why it matters.
