Many editors (such as myself) are coming from Premiere or other NLE's. For the last 20 years Ive been mixing at the clip level. Having all my A-Roll on tracks 1-2. VOs on other tracks. Sound effects on other tracks, and then music on their own tracks. All together an edit for a feature length film might use 10-15 tracks total. I can copy and paste my sound effects, settings, EQ etc from one clip to another. Easy. Now, with fairlight, there appears to be no way to edit at the clip-level. There is no way to copy or paste EQ settings or VST settings or templates from one clip to another. So I am forced to mix in resolve as the track level. Which means creating hundreds of tracks for all my various scenes, all with their own audio room tone and different mic sounds etc. This is going to be a nightmare to manage all this. Seems like there has to be a better way, yet, Fairlight strong-arms me into doing EQ and effects I would normally do for one clip, onto an entire track. Major pain.
