The Fairlight Page; The Audio Timeline - Blackmagicdesign Cintel Installation And Operation Manual

For projects requiring more advanced audio tools, the Fairlight page provides you with a full
audio post production environment.

The Fairlight Page

The 'Fairlight' page in DaVinci Resolve is where you adjust your project audio. In single monitor
mode, this page gives you an optimized look at the audio tracks of your project, with an expanded
mixer and custom monitoring controls that make it easy to evaluate and adjust levels in order to
create a smooth and harmonious mix. Don't feel overwhelmed by the vast array of features in
front of you, they are all there to help you deliver the best audio quality for your project.
This guide provides a basic overview of the features on the Fairlight page, but to learn more
about all the details for each feature, refer to the DaVinci Resolve manual. The DaVinci Resolve
manual provides details on the purpose of each tool and describes how to use them in easy to
follow steps.

The Audio Timeline

Track Header
At the left of each track is a header area that displays the track number, track name, track color,
audio channels, fader value and audio meters. The track header also contains different controls
for locking and unlocking tracks, plus solo and muting controls. These controls can help to keep
your tracks organized, and let you preview individual tracks one at a time.
Tracks
Each track on the Fairlight page is divided into lanes, which show each individual channel of clip
audio for editing and mixing. The edit page hides these individual audio channels, displaying
only a single clip in the timeline to make it easier to edit multi channel sources without needing
to manage a huge number of tracks.
The track header on track A1 indicates a mono track with a single lane for mono audio,
whilst track A2 indicates a stereo track with two lanes to accommodate stereo audio
