Fairlight audio recording is cutting out/not working at all

PostSun May 11, 2025 2:30 pm

I use fairlight to record voiceover work, and have been doing for the past few versions of Resolve. Everything is patched correctly, I can hear myself in monitoring when I record, and I can also see the waveform being created while recording. However, upon hitting stop, the recording is empty, or I can only hear brief moments of audio, often on one side only.

Usually, I can fix the issue by restarting the program, but only for a brief amount of time, before it begins again, seemingly for no reason. Any ideas what is going on here?

A possible cause could be if you video has a variable frame rate. Any large swings in the frame rate could cause Resolve to skip sections to try and maintain sync.

Okay, I have included that in my signature. Are you offering assistance here, or is this just an automated response of some kind?
