Lesson 9

Mixing Sound in

Fairlight: Exploring

the Interface

Why do professional productions spend so
much time, talent, and (yes) money to create
perfect soundtracks? The answer is that
high-quality sound is essential to visual
storytelling. It is often the difference between
an amateur and a professional production.

The Fairlight page in DaVinci Resolve 16
is designed specifically for realizing
cinematic-quality sound in your productions.
Most importantly, since it is built into your
editing application, you can refine the edit,
visual effects, color, and sound mix, right up
until the time of your final delivery. That
integration is what makes DaVinci Resolve
a game changer for filmmakers.

In this lesson, you’ll navigate the Fairlight
page, edit sound effects and narration,
record a voiceover, and clean up some
background hum using FairlightFX.

Time

This lesson takes approximately
