Enhance Your Dialogue Tracks
Dialogue is the aural center of your story, and in this tutorial you’ll learn Fairlight’s many and varied tools for managing your talent’s voice levels, including the use of keyframes, normalization options, equalizers, compressors, and audio effects.
Replace Problematic Recordings
Automated Dialogue Replacement or ADR, is the process of re-recording an actor’s voice to improve the performance or deal with a bad recording on location. In any case, you’ll learn how to use Fairlight’s ADR panel to replace or “overdub” the original recording.
Automate Your Sound Mix
Once your dialogue, music and effects have been normalized, you’ll then turn your attention to achieving a balanced mix using a number of approaches, including the use of Fairlight’s powerful automation controls to record your fader movements. Then you’ll learn how to edit the automation data so your mix is exactly the way you want it.
Bounce & Share Your Mix
In the final section of the tutorial, you’ll learn how to group tracks into buses called submixes so you can output your D, M and E tracks for further work in another digital audio workstation.

This tutorial was my third purchase on Ripple Training and again I absolutely loved the course and very happy with my purchase decision. I am not an editor or a filmmaker, I am just a youtube starter but wanted to learn. 100 Percent, I recommend this Fairlight course to everyone who wants to learn. Thank you, Travis. You are a great and very talented person.

Very nicely done. This was mostly new to me, and gave me a much better sense of the flow of work, and what’s possible. Lots to learn! I also appreciated that you note some areas where Fairlight could be improved–I hope Blackmagic listens. What would be a very helpful extension of this tutorial would be some lessons on how to cope with common audio problems. Hums and similar things are mentioned here already, but more along these lines would help. For example, isolating one person’s voice when there is background crowd noise, eliminating sounds of aircraft or cars, dealing with echoes, and adjusting for various types of musical sounds. Many of us do not have sound studios and have to deal with outdoor recordings or other noises that penetrate our recording sites, and any guidance on good ways to deal with such challenges would be much appreciated. Finally I’m curious why the one element of Resolve that is focused on audio has the name Fairlight. 🙂 Thanks for the fine job.
