Sound for Video Session - Fairlight Desktop Console & Q&A

In this session, we'll have an initial look at the Blackmagic Design Fairlight Desktop console. This control surface has the potential to speed up a Fairlight workflow for those who mix videos with several channels of audio. It also has a small screen for each channel, transport, faders, and other controls. You can also connect an HDMI monitor directly to the control surface so you can see all of the settings without taking up space on your main DaVinci Resolve screen. We'll also answer your sound for video questions.​
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at school.learnli... including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.

30 + years in audio post. Fairlight is unmatched for speed and stability. Great video. Classic video pro, meets audio… Lots of chin scratching and then the conversation drifts to lighting… As always, refer audio to the audio pros!

I've bought a few of your audio courses over the years so am glad to see you doing tutorials on Davinci Resolve software and hardware.

Curtis, missed the livestream - Easter dinner with friends. Loved the session and would enjoy and find future sessions about DV Fairlight useful.

[@DanielFowlerSr]

I love this Demonstration, I've had my unit and worked with it for at least 2 years, and this is a refresher on what it does. It is definitely convenient to have and works very well in my workflow. If you are making money in this profession, sharpen your tools. Most of all, Thank you Curtis for this overview.

[@LearnLightAndSoundSessions]

Thanks for sharing, Daniel!

[@watchandproduce]

I've watched this again and this is a really helpful video. Would have been great to also see the monitor view so if you ever get a chance to do another one with that view recorded as well that would be great. Definitely hope you do many more tutorials on Blackmagic Resolve related hardware and software.

[@LearnLightAndSoundSessions]

Thanks for coming by!

[@DanielaTocan]

Ohhh my topic at Easter… just come home…

[@DanielaTocan]

Because of workflow demonstration…

[@einekleineente1]

[@LearnLightAndSoundSessions]

Switch to the live tab.

[@einekleineente1]

@@LearnLightAndSoundSessions great thanks. Wondering if I am the only one struggeling with this. Thought your channel was deserted 😄

[@curtisjudd]

@@einekleineente1 Note that I have two channels: "Curtis Judd Audio" where we do weekly livestreams and "Curtis Judd" where we post pre-recorded videos each week. You may have been thinking of the "Curtis Judd" channel. That's my main channel.
