Menu key reveals QWERTY and DaVinci Resolve Page keys
NOTE: The Fairlight Audio Editor is designed to work with the Fairlight page. If you
switch to a different page in DaVinci Resolve, you’ll need to use your computer
keyboard and mouse for any operations in the user interface. While other pages are
open, the Fairlight Audio Editor shows a QWERTY keyboard that you can use to trigger
keyboard shortcuts while working on those pages, just like an ordinary computer
keyboard. Once you return to the Fairlight page, the Audio Editor will resume working.
Fairlight Audio Editor
Now that you are familiar with the general layout, types of controls, Editor modes and key-press
options in the Fairlight Audio Editor, it’s time to dive deeper into the different areas of operation
and how everything works together. Keep in mind that the Fairlight Audio Editor is essentially an
over-sized mouse designed specifically to control the DaVinci Resolve Fairlight page. Therefore,
the better you understand the Fairlight page, the more proficient you’ll be with your Audio
Editor panel.
Please refer to the previous Fairlight chapters for detailed information on the software interface,
tools, functions, and audio workflows. However, with the increased functionality and physical
controls available on the Fairlight Audio Editor, there are some functions and workflow
enhancements that are only available via the Editor panel. This section will give an overview of
the entire Fairlight Audio Editor and focus more in-depth on unique features and functions that
go beyond the standard keyboard and mouse options in the Fairlight page.
Monitor Section
The Monitor section in the upper-right corner of the Fairlight Audio Editor panel is where you
control playback levels for the Control Room and Studio speakers. Control Room monitor levels
can be changed at any time using the Control Room knob. Adjusting these controls also adjusts
the corresponding onscreen monitoring controls in DaVinci Resolve.
