Shaping Your Audio Mix Using Advanced Fairlight Controls - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Live Installation And Operation Manual

Headphones settings on ATEM Constellation 8K let you mix the levels of each monitoring
output. For example, you may want to increase or decrease the level of the talkback audio
against the program audio.
Master
Adjust the master level slider to set the program audio level in the headset and if you
don't want to listen to program audio, then slide this control fully to the left.
Talkback
The talkback level slider sets the audio level of camera operators who are talking to
you and by setting the master and talkback sliders you can get your preferred balance
of talkback and program audio into your headset.
Sidetone
The sidetone level slider lets you mix your voice from your headset mic into the monitor
output. This is helpful when wearing a headset that supports noise canceling.

Shaping your Audio Mix using Advanced Fairlight Controls

ATEM Constellation 8K has advanced Fairlight audio controls that let you enhance and refine
the quality of sound on each input and master output, including input level controls, a 6 band
parametric equalizer and powerful dynamics settings. This section of the manual shows the
different Fairlight audio controls you can use to shape and optimize the audio mix in your
live production.
Input Level
Generally, when setting up your audio mix, the first step is to normalize all your inputs. This
means adjusting the input level knob on each input so you can optimize all the levels to their
highest strength without clipping.
This control is at the top of each track under the tally light. Change the level by clicking on the
knob and dragging left to decrease the level, or right to increase. By setting the input control,
it brings all the inputs up to a common signal strength so they are all at their strongest without
clipping. Then you can start making advanced changes and refinements.
