About the Fairlight Audio Editor
Fairlight Audio Editor panels are designed to meet modern audio post production workflow
demands while providing ease of use so that audio professionals can quickly and precisely
execute both simple and demanding audio editing tasks. These dedicated Fairlight editing
control panels are available in either desktop or console models. The difference is that the
desktop model is a stand-alone panel designed for audio editors working at individual
computer workstations, while the console model has an extended frame that fits into the
Fairlight console chassis and is then connected to all of the console’s modular panels. Both
models are essentially the same panel, aside from how they are mounted, so if necessary, you
can use a Console Audio Editor on your desktop, and likewise a Desktop Audio Editor can be
connected to a Fairlight console that does not already include an Audio Editor component.
With its modest size that fits any desk or workspace, the Fairlight Audio Editor keeps every
function within reach for simple navigation as well as performing complex two-handed
operations. Plus, the user-friendly design is easy to learn and master with a variety of highly
visual, intuitive controls including: touch-sensitive control knobs, macro buttons, built-in Editor
screen with soft buttons, number keypad, jog wheel, and a full QWERTY keyboard with multi-
functional picture keys.
Fairlight Audio Editor
The Fairlight Audio Editor is organized into six sections, each with a specialized set of controls
that work in tandem with the Fairlight page interface to perform high-speed, audio tasks within
your DaVinci Resolve project.
