ADR (Automated Dialog Replacement)
Clicking the ADR button on the Interface toolbar opens up the celebrated Fairlight ADR panel,
which provides a thoroughly professional workflow for doing automated dialog replacement.
Dialog replacement, for those who dont know, is the process whereby audio professionals
bring in actors to re-record unsalvageably bad dialog recordings from the comfort of their
recording studios, line by line and with a great deal of patience.
The ADR panel on the Fairlight page
It’s an old joke that ADR isn’t really automatic, but the Fairlight page aims to give you all the help
it can to make this a structured and straightforward process. Simple, but powerful, Cue list
management lets you efficiently assemble a re-recording plan. Industry-standard audio beeps
and visual cues via your BMD video output device help the actors in the booth nail their timings
and their lines. Then, sophisticated take management with star ratings and layered take
organization in the Timeline help you manage the resulting recordings to pick and choose the
best parts of each take when you edit the results.
The ADR Interface
When open, the ADR interface consists of three panels to the left of the Timeline: a Record
panel, a List panel, and a Setup panel. The controls of these panels are described in the order
in which theyre used.
The Setup Panel
As its name implies, the Setup panel is where you configure your ADR session.
