Thanks for responding Reynaud, sorry for not being clear:
I'm using External Audio Process but maybe I'm trying to use this feature in a way that it wasn't intended to be used.
For example, I have a piece of dialog in a scene and I send it to Izoptope RX for some voice denoise processing, save it in RX, go back to Fairlight and listen back to how that fits into the scene. That works as expected. Let's say, if what I did doesn't work, I decide to do some more work to it (like an additional spectral cleanup or adjustment in RX).
This is where my question/issue arises. I switch back to RX (without doing another external audio process bounce) to do my EQ adjustment, save in RX and jump back to Fairlight, Fairlight doesn't update that file in my timeline. If I do a "Replace Selected Clip" in Media Pool, the Media Pool won't update with the new updated version of the modified file. If I unlink and relink to newly saved file, it still does not update the clip in the timeline. When I do a reveal in Finder through the media pool, it brings me to the media file and that plays correctly with the spectral cleanup adjustment, which sounds the same as in RX, but Fairlight does not update that file until I restart the software and jump back into the project.
So my question would be, does Fairlight automatically update the file each time I save in my external process?
I'd prefer not to have to bounce a new file each time I want to try something different nor do I want to restart resolve each time I save a new modification. Maybe that's not what this process was intended to be. Maybe it was just for a one and done type of thing....but I was hoping that it would update since the original media file that Fairlight is referencing in the timeline and media pool is being changed and that would update within resolve without a restart.
Again, this is kinda like the way Premiere works with the dynamic linking of audio clips to Audition. You do some work in Audition, save, go back to Premiere and it updates. If you're not happy, go back to Audition, do something else, save and it updates immediately in Premiere. Again, I know Resolve isn't Adobe so I can understand if external audio process isn't supposed to work like the dynamic link in Adobe, but I was just seeing if I was missing a step.
