Sound Library

Is there a simple way to create a custom sound library or add sounds to the existing Fairlight Library? I have made a number of attempts but have been unsuccessful. Any Advice?

In Resolve's Sound Library panel use the Additional Options (3 dots) menu's "Add Library" command to add new sound files to the currently selected database. The pop-up window will ask "Would you like to rescan the path and add new files to the Sound Library".

The "Blackmagic Fairlight Sound Library 1.0" installer creates its own entity. It is not possible to add content to the database and the Additional Options (3 dots) menu in Resolve's Sound Library panel disables if the "Blackmagic Fairlight Sound Library" database is selected.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'll follow your advice when I return home, Was not aware DVR/Fairlight would re-scan database to update contents.
