Here's my Fairlight Crash Course! This video is for all you beginners out there that want an audio basics in DaVinci Resolve 17. This should cover all you need to know about getting started with Fairlight so that you can use it with confidence, and get some better sounding audio in your projects!

[@eliman2006]

Dude you've literally carried my entire video editing learning experience!

[@Seamusyt1396]

For me it's a mix between Casey and Mr Alex tech

[@henryvenn2077]

SAME HERE....we r gonna b awesome...hope thst dont make us clone tools

[@daveruble5150]

I'm sure you're not alone.

[@convicted.feline]

cheers to that

[@DavideTravelli]

It would be nice to have a tutorial about noise removal, especially clicking sounds not just background noise. And how to clean up the audio when there is lots of wind.

[@CortneySalerno]

Agreed! Loving the vids so far but my main issue is the wind or static noise that comes with not recording in a studio. I'm on the free version though, so I may need to upgrade to find the automatic noise reduction feature. There are some workarounds i've noticed in the free version so maybe he can include those if he knows any for sound.

[@happinessninja6678]

This would be useful! I, too am with the beta version

[@janjericsantos]

yes! i need this

[@johnnyanderson8901]

Man, I cannot thank you enough for these videos. You have helped me tremendously. You are a great teacher.

[@wolfkoolaid722]

Your a good teacher Casey! I never have a problem clicking on your videos, because I know I'll Learn something for editing and have a fun time doing it. Thank you.

[@robbitjuice2115]

Casey, you're a pheonominal teacher. I just wanted to express my thanks for your dedication on this channel. I started with Resolve about a month ago (and I wish I had seen this video BEFORE shipping my latest video on my other channel because my audio was trash lol). I've used your Fusion deep dive to create some stuff that I really like (a rarity for me lol), so I'd love to eventually see a Fairlight deep dive (assuming I haven't just glanced over it). Again, thank you for all that you do, it's most appreciated and I can assure you it's absolutely valued!

[@CortneySalerno]

Thanks for this! Really great pacing on your videos and you never lose sight of what a beginner would notice/ need to know when first experimenting with the DR UI.

[@brvthakay]

I'm an audio guy just entering the world of post, I been struggling with fairlight but this is the crash course I needed to build a workflow, thank you for this video brother 🙏

[@BlackStarSymphony]

Just letting you know that this video was exactly what I was looking for without knowing I was looking for it. I tend to mumble talk during gameplay (like I talk softly but you can still hear me say the words) and I just did the dynamics thing you did so it evens out the voice and makes the soft parts louder and the loud parts softer and it's perfect. Thanks Casey!

[@UFOBobTV]

I stayed until the end and hit the LIKE button. Thanks for your tutorials.I have watched a dozen or so, and all of them have been clear, concise, and helpful.

[@Healthify360]

I really like that you speak slowly and repeatedly show what buttons you are using. You are good at teaching, many people speak way to fast and skip over showing exactly what buttons they are using. Thank you.

[@jonathonfriedl1766]

Hey Casey, I love your work and your energy. I get 90% of my resolve learning from your channel. When I need to learn a concept, I will browse videos until I find one of yours that explains what I'm looking for. Keep up the good work; we all appreciate it!

[@Nocturnal_Mind]

Your videos are great man. I appreciate the time an effort you have put it to teaching people. Just getting in to video editing and your videos have been a great help.

[@iPavReg]

I like this guy! Seems like a genuinely fun person! Awesome quality content as always! P.S. Never stop these signature ending awkward jokes 🤣 love them

[@JasonYadlovski]

Right up my alley! Great video Casey! 😁👍

[@catvibineveryday]

I love what you do! I learned so much from you from the basics and up. Thank you so much and please know you're doing great helping aspiring editors!

[@israelunterman]

That was a great crash course, really what I needed to start using fairlight, thanks! And I really like the way you serve it, very enjoyable!

[@daveshif2514]

honestly for a very beginner tutorial, your explanation of compression was the best ive ever seen on yt

[@JohnnyOttosson85]

Thank you. This is the most awesome lesson I have seen so far :-) Great work!

[@MeltheKiwi]

New to editing and Davinci Resolve. Love your teaching style, and so easy to follow.

[@ahsan118]

Just took the big step switched to Davinci after 2 years of yes / no. And Man I AM SO HAPPY!!! This BMD Voodoo is faast and sleek. and yes you are the one who encouraged. Keep rocking!

[@TwinAngelsDesigns]

Hey, great tut for some basics, thanks! I'd like to see some more advanced stuff about sound effects and space matching, also creative stuff like glitch sounds and tying dynamics to key frames. Thanks for being a good teacher

[@joeyc666]

Casey, your delivery is so good!

[@ronaldaramisroncallavillon9355]

You are amazing, I just switch to soft softs and I am loving everytNice tutorialng about it. It much easier then my last program.

[@Estipi18]

Like! Totally new to DaVinci , you won me. Your way of explaining (as “toast and jelly” ) are best kind of teaching methods. Thank you for the good work, keep it up!

[@white_lizard]

Yes we like this stuff! Even up to today! I am finally at Fairlight now (excluding Fusion which I briefly watched) Great work Casey!

[@jenmdawg]

I inherited a fair light video system a few months and spent hours trying to find info and decided to try again tonight. Stoked I found you. I’d love this system to find a good home and now have an idea who would be interested.

[@PatrikHrabovec]

I love how you use real clips to see what it does 💛💛 Thanks dude!

[@happinessninja6678]

I've been waiting for this video!👏👏👏 gracias😎

[@ChickenMeister84]

This 9 min video does a better job of explaining the usefulness of Fairlight than entire 4 hour long courses on Udemy. Bravo man. Subscribed.

[@suzysheer66]

Thanks Casey for showing how to use the bus. I learn something everytime i watch a vdeo from you.

[@nickiogr]

man you have helped so much with learning Davinci resolve. Many thanks

[@PioneerMountainHomestead]

Best general explanation of Fairlight I've found. Thank you.

[@pennsylvaniapatriot22]

I am familiar with Davinci resolve and the video editing, but I had no clue about anything audio-editing related. This helped me so much. Thank you bro!!!

[@Chadislav]

Once I got money, I’ll buy one of your courses man. You gave me so much knowledge. Thank you.

[@RogersPhotographyGuilford]

Excellent quick overview.

[@cameraloopt]

Great. I needed this basic info.

[@IntiFeelmaker]

Wonderful, deeply appreciate it

[@SwanSycorax]

Thanks, great video. I am new to Resolve, having worked with Final Cut for the past 5 years and Premier for the ten years before that. I am finding your videos very helpful in getting to grips with Resolve.;

[@helloww_]

i liked it :) will probably like the next one too (and the one after) thank you

[@Sinanimre]

Damn... I love your videos. The amount of things I learn from you is crazy AND your humour man... keep it up. I know you don't need a random newbie's approval but man, you are killing it !!!

[@TerrasTreasure]

Once again, well done. You showed me EXACTLY what I needed, because of course you did. 🧑‍🍳 💋

[@sebastianhildebrandt]

Thank you so much! Very helpful for a beginner like me!

[@michaelnappi5881]

I have been weaning myself off of my old version of Premiere because the old version doesn't take full advantage of newer processors and encoders. I don't want to "rent" a newer version of Premiere. You videos have been a tremendous help. Thank you!

[@s.msayakh1857]

Tysm, did everything as described

[@RJBaculo]

Using the Bus function was such an eye-opener (ear-opener???)! Thanks Casey!

[@KensGarage1]

Great video once again. Thanks!

[@profundus8946]

Exactly what I needed right now. No bullshit, just the tools. Thanks a lot!

[@corey4006]

what a great video. congrats!

[@dfilliernl]

Simply the best introduction to the audio page! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Do you have any tutorials on ADR basics,

[@baumgott9431]

Thanks for the nice Tutorial, it helped me a lot.

[@humphreythuo3615]

good work king, love you

[@arukshun2710]

I'm half way through the video and i've learned so much that i've paused to subscribe and leave a comment. Haha. You're an excellent teacher!

[@jadefinchscene5644]

always down to hang with you more. thanks again as always

[@Iberium]

Thank you for the tutorial!

[@mycoachdave]

Love the content, love the humor ("this is how communication works...") LOL! Love all your videos actually - they've made Resolve accessible to a non-tech-video-editor-by-necessity like me. And the whole "press alt to create a control point to dial in volume" thingie - THAT'S what I've been searching for! So yeah, thanks!

[@thinklab4598]

You are a good man Casey.

[@bendesignsmedia]

Don't know how I missed this video when it came out, but glad I found it so I could learn how communication works... oh and Fairlight too

[@itsjustglass01]

2 years old and still gold this was all I needed to get my gist, and what's really crazy all this is still offered in the free version sheesh

[@Petros.Morfis]

A deeper dive in fairlight would be great!!!

[@TheDroneExperiment]

Wow. Another great tutorial! Thank you sir!

[@crypturio]

Whoop whoop thanks again for sharing your knowledge 🥳✌️

[@Gronvoll]

This was such a good and informative video on fairlight. Thanks 👍🏻

[@drewkatz2516]

I exclusively use Resolve for edits because of all the awesome teaching videos Casey. Thanks a lot! BTW I spy Donkey Kong 64 in the background 👀

[@Graphenor]

You really are an excellent teacher

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great video Casey! Thank you for sharing it with us!👍💖😎JP

[@Aziz-kw6ct]

Amazing Video , helped me a lot

[@PRospond]

Extremely helpful! Thanks Casey 🙏👍

[@Altek2k]

Great video, Thanks!

[@thealonis3001]

You are amazing by the way ❤

[@noaninho93]

Thank you so much for helping me edit and publish my first Super Music🎧🎶🎹

[@hunter8980]

Yes. I like it. Thanks!

[@prahladguruprasath408]

Yes... The crash course I was looking for cuz I know nothing about audio.. Thnx a lot

[@TheRealBarkinMadd]

I had to give you a like, not just because the content was good - which it was, but because of that awkward ending you are famous for - always cracks me up 🙂

[@williamremuso6193]

Thank you for the video ☺️

[@SethBlackMedia]

Man I’ve learned so much from your videos, but this one kind of went over my head a little about setting up a bus. Had trouble following it even after watching several times. Gotta admit audio is the one area of video production I hate, but know it’s important.

[@RudalPL]

What I like about Fairlight is that if you are into audio production already and you own some 3rd party plugins or VST's, Resolve will integrate them into Fairlight and you can use it as well. :)

[@louisefleming3117]

thank-you. On point.

[@danielroujansky6420]

Casey, thanks for the brief tutorial to Fairlight . . . Now the fun begins! Any difference in Fairlight versions 17 & 18? Thanks for all your instructional tutorials!

[@jmcgerr]

Excellent tutorial

[@eliezerberrios9521]

Great content. 👍👍 More tutorials like this would be awesome. I’m a FCPX user but I believe DR is a more complete software. Want to learn more!!!

[@badGamr]

Excellent.

[@scottabergermd]

Love your video’s Casey, thank you. One question, that I could not answer from watching this video was: I have seen audio equalizer, with the active entire waveform of the sound superimposed on the various wavelengths of audio, so you can adjust each frequency on the fly, so to speak, and go immediately to the frequencies that are giving you “trouble” and see the changes on the fly. I cannot figure out if Resolve has the same capabilities?

[@GmaJoKeepingitReal]

Casey, This was so helpful, no one would show me how to bring up the sound bars on the right? I think there is a way without going into fairlight too but again can't find a video on it. Again this really helped me finish editing my clip for my live tomorrow. Thank you. Blessings. GmaJo (Keeping it Real) 😊😊💕💕

[@thereal_SonnyLaguna]

Great video🎉

[@rocinanteontheroad]

Thanks - I did watch to the end and liked the video. I have terrible audio and this really helped. Quick question- how do I do a fade out? I am such a beginner that the whole bus thing kind of confused me but I will definitely try and rewatch!

[@StuartHetzler]

Another powerful use for bus tracks is that you can control the individual effects without affecting the source track. For example, if you create a bus track that you route some dialogue to and put a reverb and then an EQ on the bus track, that EQ will only affect the reverb and not the voice itself.

[@AnitaSleap1080z]

😭😭😭 I'm trying to move out of abobe audition and premiere, and I make audio roleplays so my stuff is so audio-focused, so the fact Davinci gives both for free is a godsend. Thank you for this video

[@brad_in_yyc]

Most awkward and yet fun outro every Casey hahaha. Thanks for the intro. I wonder if you can go into mixing sounds together. Like the SMPTE color bars sound with another high pitched sound like someone hitting a note that is similar, but not at the same pitch...

[@WaleedHiggins]

I laughed, I cried, and I sorted out my audio issues. Thanks again for another great video.

[@paullondon445]

Great! Thanks for this as I'm a total vidiot! Most of the time I just need a little VO or music compression.

[@hoziwozi]

thank you for this

[@Reyfox1]

Nice intro to Fairlight... still a little beyond me, but I can always come back to watch it again!

[@Sudselicious]

Ofc i stayed :D. You are helping me with my edits so this is the least i can do for you.

[@davidfryman1028]

Love your videos! Any tips for editing live music in Fairlight?

[@GratuityMedia]

I like this thank you very much

[@itemtest1]

There are many details every time to learn😱😱😱

[@angmarkDFF]

Superb!

[@DayPhotography]

I am much like the communication video, very nice informations!

[@kelsiaramaple]

Ahhh I needed this! Thanks for this and I hit the like button... because I liked it! ;) Uploaded a video 2 days ago and never went into Fairlight because I didn't have a clue how to use it. Instead, I made audio adjustments in the edit page only, my first time trying to play dialogue from a tv show at the same time as the music track, adjusting the music volume lower so the dialogue stands out more. Then I didn't know how to strip the ambient sounds from the dialogue clips (such as 'street noise'.) For me, working on the audio situation on my latest video was a car crash, messy, but hoped that it came out better than I thought. Is there a way to strip the dialogue only (or vocals on a song)?

[@automat8]

Thanks!
