Mixing Your Audio

Mixing Audio in the Edit Page
Once you have edited and color corrected your project, you can begin to mix your audio.
DaVinci Resolve has a helpful set of features for editing, mixing and mastering audio for your
project directly in the 'edit' page. For projects requiring more advanced audio tools, the
Fairlight page provides you with a full audio post production environment. If you are already
familiar with the edit page and want to move straight to Fairlight, skip this section and move
onto the next.
Adding Audio Tracks
If you are working in the edit page and want to mix a basic sound edit with lots of sound effects
and music, you can easily add more audio tracks when you need them. This can be helpful
when building your sound, and separating your audio elements into individual tracks, for
example, dialogue, sound effects and music.
To Add an Audio Track to the Edit Page
Right click next to the name of any audio track on your timeline and select 'add track' and
choose from the options, including 'mono', 'stereo', and '5.1'. This will add the track to the
bottom of the track list. Alternatively select 'add tracks' and select the position you would like
the new track or multiple tracks placed.
Your new audio track will appear on the timeline.
TIP If you wish to change the type of track after creating it, right click next to the name
of the track and select 'change track type to' and select the type of audio track you
want, such as stereo, mono or 5.1.
Adjusting Audio Levels in the Timeline
Each clip of audio in the timeline has a volume overlay that lets you set that clip's level by simply
dragging it up or down with the pointer. This overlay corresponds to the Volume parameter in
the Inspector.
