I had some good experiences with the latest incarnation of the Fairlight page (had been avoiding this since earlier disfunctionality). This is coming from a pro music/audio studio perspective:
Did a number of videos testing on-camera microphone configurations: lavalier, shotgun, stereo video mic + recording studio mic recorded directly into Resolve. All audio was located on different named & colour coded tracks, then Fairlight post production applied: matching gain structure, EQ here and there etc.
To my surprise and pleasure - all is working exactly as expected, and with no constant crashing. Very nice, is beginning to work like a DAW. That included inserting 3rd party FabFilter audio plugins on stereo tracks, assigning bus with inserts (Sonarworks), plugins on the master (iZotope). 5x stereo tracks, 1x stereo bus, 1 x stereo master (though fade handles /curves no longer seem to work).
Recording direct to Fairlight: odd creature, but indeed works. In this case, a Neumann TL-49 via UA Apollo audio interface; Resolve internal 'patch' from input 1 to assigned stereo track & main output; set the track record input on, and push the record button.
The odd thing is: no input monitoring, no metering activity etc & so one is guessing as to if it is actually recording and what the levels might be. Push stop & sure enough, there's now good quality audio (voice over) sitting on the assigned track. So, a couple of suggestions for a future 14 version?
– provide input monitoring /metering for the above.
– needs ASIO driver support badly, vs. the rather simplistic 'system audio setting'.
Using the UAD Apollo audio interface as example (8-in, 8-out) presently Resolve can only select audio input from the first two channels & output from the 'system' stereo speakers. Needs to be able to freely route from any and all I/O as per the ASIO drivers for the particular device. In this ASIO example here:
INPUT – would then be able to freely record from any number of sources in the studio (various mics, amps, keyboards, other computers etc) and/or be able to record more that the presently limited two tracks at once.
OUTPUT – assign outputs to various monitors, e.g.: two for main stereo and another six for 5.1 surround.
Seems very close though. I hope input monitoring and ASIO are on the roadmap (& not necessarily relegated to needing a Fairlight console).
Nice work BM. That was an excellent day with audio yesterday.
