About Audio Monitoring and Audio Input
The audio processing throughout DaVinci Resolve, including on the Fairlight page and audio
processing using Fairlight FX plug-ins, is equally compatible with all platforms that
DaVinci Resolve runs on, including macOS, Windows, and Linux. In particular, DaVinci Resolve
supports audio monitoring and audio input using (i) the audio of a supported
Blackmagic Design I/O device such as an UltraStudio or Decklink, (ii) your macOS, Windows,
or Linux workstation’s on-board audio, (iii) any Core Audio-compatible, Windows-compatible,
ASIO, or Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)-supported third party audio interface.
Alternately, you can monitor audio with the optional Fairlight Audio Accelerator, which is a PCI
card that’s designed to handle even more channels of audio I/O monitoring and recording, and
that’s also capable of accelerating audio processing operations to provide better performance
for audio operations.
NOTE: ASIO is a trademark and software of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH.
Monitor Speaker Configuration
When the Automatic Speaker Configuration box is unchecked it reveals another panel in the Video
and Audio I/O Preferences. Here you can assign your monitors to the default Main or Near sets, and
you can also create an additional 15 monitor sets specific to your needs.
– Monitor Set: Choose the default Main or Near or create up to 15 other user-definable
configurations.
– Rename: This button allows you to rename any of the monitor sets to something more meaningful
for your individual needs.
– Format: A drop-down menu allows you to choose the desired format type from Mono up to
Dolby Atmos 9.1.6. Below the Format type there are three windows to create the Monitor Set:
– Layout: Breaks out the channels that correspond to the chosen format.
– Output: Where you can assign the Output channels to your system.
– Trim: Where you can reduce each individual level by up to -24dB of gain or add up to +10dB of
gain for fine tuning the speaker calibration required for your particular playback space.
Monitor System External Inputs
You can create multiple sets of monitoring with up to 16 user-definable setups from the Control Room
and Studio tabs in this panel. This allows flexibility to have different combinations of monitoring
speakers that you can switch among for checking, reviewing, and creating different mixes.
– External Monitor Source: Chose None or up to 16 definable configurations.
– Format: When a Format is chosen, a drop-down menu appears allowing you to choose the
desired format type from Mono up to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6. Once a format has been chosen, three
more windows appear:
– Layout: Which breaks out the channels that correspond to the chosen format.
– Source: Where you can assign either Input Destination or Audio Repro.
– Input: Where you can assign an individual track when in Audio Repro, or assign the specific
channel when in Input Destination.
– Rename: This button allows you to rename any of the numerically labeled monitor sets to
something more meaningful for your individual needs.
