Lesson 9 Mixing Sound in Fairlight: Exploring theInterface
3 Press Shift-Z to see the entire timeline. Position the playhead at the start of the timeline,
and press the spacebar to play the entire program.
Overall, the sync sound interview clips seem too low. No problem. You can the adjust
the volume level for the entire track using the corresponding SYNC fader in the Mixer.
4 Play the timeline again, and drag up the SYNC fader until the interview voice plays a
more clearly audible level.
5 Play the timeline again, and adjust the tracks, as needed to achieve a proper balance
between all the sound elements.
TIP Using automation control, you can record track level adjustments as you play
the timeline. You can learn more about the Fairlight page in the DaVinci Resolve
User Manual, as well as the Introduction to Fairlight Audio Post with
DaVinci Resolve 16 trainingmanual.
As you adjust overall track levels, it is important to keep an eye on your meters levels, and
to monitor the audio results using quality speakers in a calibrated system. Just as you want
to view your video content on a calibrated display, you must hear your soundtrack content
in an audio-calibrated environment. So, before you complete audio post-production, take
off those headphones and prepare your final mix using professionally calibrated speakers.
By now, you’ve probably heard that sound is half of the video experience. Yet, somehow,
sound often gets the least amount of attention when it comes to independent filmmakers.
In the words of George Lucas, “Filmmakers should focus on making the sure the soundtracks
are really the best they can possibly be. Because in terms of an investment, sound is where
you get the most bang for your buck.”
