Fairlight experts: how can I route and pan a submix?

PostFri May 18, 2018 9:24 am

Stereo sources, 5.1 output

If I create stereo submixes there is no pan control on the submix, indeed the pan of the source channel is honoured to the master bus (which is nice). It's the same for Aux busses.

But is there a way of grouping source stereo channels, via a stereo bus of some description that can have EQ / Dynamic processing etc, and then have that as a stereo source, pannable, to the master bus?

The only way I can achieve it at the moment is to route the output of the sub bus to the track return of an audio channel, and toggle the insert for that channel. Which is workable, but a bit convoluted.

As to why I want to do this, well there was a reason for which I've found a better workflow, but it prompted the question...

Unfortunately, Resolve doesn’t currently provide VCAs, but that’s essentially what you would require for that type of workflow (where Pan levels are controlled relatively by the “Group Master” Pan controls).

Hi there,
this question is pretty old now.
Are there any news concerning this?
Even switched to DR17 and was hoping that the new flexbus system would change anything.

I want to send the mono DX Signal to a Stereo Reverb Bus and have them finally on the L and R speakers.

Also happy about detailed work arounds.

Thanks for your help!

After searching the forum and trying the workaround above I found following way:

Send signal to a bus - add the reverb on the bus - insert the signal on an empty audio track - activate thru on the path settings - Pan the new audio track.

Please let me know If there is a more simple solution...
