When you&#8217;re ready to go deeper into post-production and mastering, simply click the music icon in the bottom panel to launch Fairlight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you&#8217;re in the Fairlight panel, you can access all of the mixing and effects found in a typical DAW. It&#8217;s a faster and more efficient way of working with audio because you have access to all of the faders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right away, you&#8217;ll notice that all of your audio tracks are shown. They take up the most of the screen&#8217;s real estate. Your video is still visible in the upper right corner of the window. However, the emphasis here is on audio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you&#8217;re new to Fairlight, or post-production audio in general, the overall layout is quite easy. The portions circled in red are some of the most important sections to understand and where you will be mostly working. While there are numerous features, we will concentrate on the most useful ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Mixing and Sizing<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mixer panel is located in the upper right corner. You can use the Mixer to balance audio levels, apply FX, EQ, Compressors, Limiters, Panning, and much more. There&#8217;s also an Order option to choose how you want your processing to be done whether it&#8217;s dialogue, ambience, SFX tracks, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_73072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73072\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"fairlight basics\" width=\"1024\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-2-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-2-1-300x152.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-73072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot by Chris Piccione<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll also discover your Meters here, where you can keep track of your levels and LUFs values for anything on your timeline. The Metadata section displays all of the information associated with each audio file in your project. The inspector panel provides rapid access to several of the most frequently used effects and tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two slider options directly below the video window. One control adjusts the height of your audio tracks, while the other controls the zoom of your audio tracks. These are both useful solutions to use when you need to focus your attention on the smallest details. You&#8217;ll eventually want to learn or assign hotkeys for these so you don&#8217;t have to do it with a mouse click. Learning your hotkeys will save you valuable time!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Organizational Tools<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the left of these controls, you\u2019ll notice several other tools. One is a Timeline view option to decide how you want your timeline laid out. There are other icons such as the Selection tool and the Range Selection tool which allows you to select a certain portion of your clip. You will also have the Razor tool to cut your clip and the Snap tool to match up audio on other tracks. You will also find Markers for tagging and labeling areas that need work. They\u2019ll help keep you more organized and efficient on bigger timelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you should do is label your tracks accordingly. Your tracks will be marked as Audio 1, Audio 2, and so on. By double clicking on the title and right clicking on the track to change the color, you may edit the name and color code of each track. In general, you should group your track types by color for easier browsing and group them by category.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_73073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73073\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"fairlight basics\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-3-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-3-1-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-73073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot by Chris Piccione<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Working with the Audio<\/h2>\n<p>Each track has a number of letter icons listed beneath the track title. R is an abbreviation for recording. If you need to record a voice over, click R on a new track and make sure the input is set to whatever mic is connected to your interface or a USB mic connected to your computer. The letter S stands for soloing on that particular track. You won&#8217;t hear anything else but what&#8217;s on there. M is the most obvious of all \u2014 muting that individual track(s.)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re ready to begin trimming your audio, hover your cursor over the end of a clip and drag it in\/out to find where you want it. You can also cut it where the playhead is and delete the piece you don&#8217;t need by clicking the Scissor icon in the center of the page. Each audio clip has a small downward pointing symbol on the side. This is where you&#8217;ll adjust your fades. By moving the tiny circle in the deeper shade, you may determine how much and how far you want to fade in\/out your audio, as well as the angle of the fade. There is also a tiny white line running horizontally across each audio channel. This is used to change the clip gain, but it also allows you to keyframe your audio levels for more detailed fades, levels, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to get even deeper into audio cleanup or restoration, you can connect an external editor, such as Izotope RX, to Fairlight and use it by right-clicking on a track and selecting it. The same is true for any external VST or AU plugins you may already own. When you connect them, you&#8217;ll be able to use them alongside Fairlight&#8217;s built-in plugin suite.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_73074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73074\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-73074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-4.jpg\" alt=\"fairlight basics\" width=\"1024\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Image-4-300x152.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-73074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot by Chris Piccione<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>How to Do Common Functions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get ready to dive into audio mastery with Fairlight in Davinci Resolve 18 as we walk you through some common functions, sharing easy-to-follow steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sync Audio with Video Clips<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two ways to sync audio to video when using Fairlight: <strong>Manually<\/strong> or <strong>Auto Sync<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve organized your footage and sound files in the Media Pool, choose the appropriate corresponding files then right click &gt; Auto Sync Audio &gt; Based on Waveform. To confirm sync, right click on the video file &gt; Clip Attributes and look under the audio tab. You should see the appropriate metadata names instead of \u201cEmbedded Audio.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To Manually Sync, select the video and matching audio file. Place a marker by pressing M, wherever your hand clap or clapboard mark is. Highlight both clips, right click, and then create a new clip. Everything should be properly synced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If syncing via Timecode, select the corresponding clips when using Auto Sync, and then select, \u201cUse Timecode\u201d instead of \u201cBased on Waveform.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Layer Audio<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audio Track Layers allow you to have a variety of clips stacked within a single audio track. This is so that you can fade between them, toggle between multiple options for a sound effect, or audition different takes of recorded audio. When dealing with complex sounds or multiple options for a sound, audio track layers are extremely useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This feature in Fairlight is hidden, but easy to enable. First, click on the \u201cView\u201d menu at the top of the screen, followed by selecting the \u201cShow Audio Track Layers\u201d option. Next, click on the \u201cTimeline\u201d menu at the top of the panel and enable \u201cLayered Audio Editing\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Add Sound Effects<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fairlight has their own built-in Sound Library that you can access via the menu at the top left of the panel. If it\u2019s your first time using this section, you will have to download and install the library. This library has plenty of the most commonly used, royalty-free sound effects you can incorporate into your podcasts, YouTube videos, or short films.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type in the search bar the sound you\u2019re looking for, audition the available clips, mark your in and out points, and then drag and drop the clip directly onto your timeline. You can also use this same process on the Edit page if you&#8217;re more comfortable there than in Fairlight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, if the built-in sound effects library isn\u2019t enough, you can connect an external library like SoundQ, Soundly, and more via the External Audio Process. To do this, choose Preferences &gt; Audio Plugins &gt; Setup External Audio Process. These programs usually have a drag and drop option to drag the sound directly onto the Fairlight track.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Repair or Clean Up Audio<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fairlight has plenty of restoration tools including the most recently introduced \u2014 Voice Isolation and Dialogue Leveler. Voice Isolation is similar to other programs that offer dialogue de-noise features. It cleans up background noise in the recording, leaving the voice alone for improved clarity. Dialogue Leveler helps level out peaks while simultaneously lifting quiet parts of the voice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dialing in these settings can save valuable time lost by manually using clip gain and keyframes. To utilize these tools, select the dialogue track followed by the plus sign. Then choose Channel &gt; Fairlight FX &gt; the plugin of your choice. Remember to keep your settings light handed to avoid artifacts and voice distortion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Run ADR<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, it doesn\u2019t always work when trying to record clean dialogue. That\u2019s why countless productions rely on ADR. Fairlight has a built-in ADR function that&#8217;s easy to set up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, create a new mono track for the ADR and solo that along with the line(s) of dialogue that need to be re-recorded. Next, click on the ADR tab at the top of the Fairlight page. Dial in the pre and post roll time to around 3 seconds to give you and or the talent enough time to lead in and out of recording. In the following drop down menus, choose the microphone and record tracks as well as the production dialogue guide track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you\u2019ll have to patch everything through. Head to the top menu panel &gt; Fairlight &gt; Patch input\/output, choose System Generator from the Source pulldown menu and select Beeps. Next, select Audio Outputs from the Destination pulldown menu and choose the appropriate outputs before clicking \u201cPatch\u201d at the bottom right of the menu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, under the \u201cList\u201d section of the ADR panel, you\u2019ll need to enter character names, dialogue, and timecode for the appropriate replacement. Once yourself or the talent is ready to record, you can use the rehearse button to cycle through for practice. When ready, press record and Fairlight will run through the entire cue from pre-roll to post-roll.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s just a quick rundown of some of Fairlight&#8217;s features. You have a plethora of tools at your disposal to perform just about anything with your audio. We may return in the future to do a deeper dig into this fantastic tool and its limitless features, as this was only a brief review. If you&#8217;re currently using Resolve for video editing and color, or if you&#8217;re a standalone creative, just stay in one program and take advantage of everything Fairlight has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the program is free to download, the complete Studio version, which includes a few extra features, requires a one-time payment of $299.
