Sound for Video Session — Fairlight Desktop Console & Q&A
In this session, we'll have an initial look at the Blackmagic Design Fairlight Desktop console. This control surface has the potential to speed up a Fairlight workflow for those who mix videos with several channels of audio. It also has a small screen for each channel, transport, faders, and other controls. You can also connect an HDMI monitor directly to the control surface so you can see all of the settings without taking up space on your main DaVinci Resolve screen. We'll also answer your sound for video questions.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
