[@jeffdavies2824]

Just started using the Fairlight Soud Effects Library today, with the help of this video!

[@dougdina]

Great video. I never thought of creating separate libraries for all the music and EFX. Yet, this is a very powerful tool and I really appreciate this tutorial.

[@TwistedTriggerEnduro]

Great video! Learned a lot and really appreciate the advice. Didn't expect to need sound effects for my niche but turns out ...I do. Thanks. 👍

[@Shinslyric]

This video was perfect and exactly what I needed! Great job! It was easy to understand.

Good one Alex, there is certainly not that many Fairlight sound effects tuts out there. Very informative, thank you for this.

As always Jim, thanks for supporting the channel - watching and commenting. Hugely appreciate you taking the time to check it out and feed back your thoughts! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻

[@ceanerngaming-moonknight_yj]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure out how to find my sound files! I wish I could have gotten this figured out sooner. might have saved me some money. but I'm definitely gonna rock it all out in my editing adventure I'm beginning.

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Brilliant video thanks, fairlight is catching up to Protools, Audition and RX fast, only thing I want in Fairlight is an editable Spectral frequency display.

[@bisousandfood]

Thank you i will try to do this too! super useful!

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@knr2003]

Thank you

[@FairlawnARC]

Exceptional Alex, thank you. And I agree with the Viewer who commented that Davinci Instructors don't cover or teach the framework within Davinci as to where Sound/Music and more should be treated - BRAVO for you!!! Questions: On a PC, in a PostgreSQL environment how would that change the process? You do touch on it but not much. And yes I know most viewers would be installing this on their disk. Do you create one Sound Library dB and add new libraries to that? Would that be the same process for PostgreSQL? Does Davinci or say ADSR Sound Mgr read the metadata of the content so you can search on that? Or are they TEXT or Keyword driven?

[@mody8444]

thank you

[@VincentTamer]

I love that I have to input " *** " every time I want to see all my music.

[@michaelnimchan7570]

You're very good tutor, maybe sometime soon we can see a fair light tutorial on stereo and 5.1 mixing and delivery

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Thank you so much! Love those suggestions and would be delighted to oblige! Make sure you subscribe (if not already) so you don’t miss them! 🙏🏻

[@LarryCarlin]

Linux lets you choose where to install the Fairlight library, I choose a network drive so I can access it from other DaVinci installations. Video was a big help.

[@areacode3816]

Few notes on the blacklight fx library. Look at the date dec 07 2020 to find it. Also the next button did not appear in my windows browser until I shrunk the window down.

[@DamienAlexander]

Do you have a video telling about how to make sound effects to your liking, for example, adding an echo to voice or making music sound muffled like it comes from a car. Or which Frequency to adjust to make a voice come out more above a music file.

[@imiy]

But how do you combine the fairlight library and your own one so SFX will appear in the same database?

[@leen_naturesounds_relaxmus1594]

May could tell how I can make sync between many different audio without stop I mean mix many different music 🎶 how I composed without stopping .thank you very much.

[@albertocostell4449]

How to show all sound.... you saved me bro, thanks¡

[@jayymorris5285]

So I'm still a little confused on the actual process of importing the sound effects I have downloaded into Davinci. Like with LUTS, you can go to where it's saved in the computer and import there, can you do the same with SFX?

[@jodsoraci5614]

Hello! I'm a Colorist working on a Mac using a Wave panel controller, I've downloaded Fairlight but it's saying device not supported? do I need an audio mixer for Fairlight to work? Thanks!

[@ShobaSadler]

May I ask how you added the SFX track and Music Track please?

[@Docfly62]

Hello Alex and all...."***" only shows the 1st 1000 results in my library of 9000+ sound files. I can't figure out how to get it to list the entire library. Pls advise

[@Njubish]

I loved the "I'm not sponsored, but here's my referral code" bit.

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Haha, I see your point but sponsorship vs affiliate links are very different things. Appreciate your feedback though.

[@UncleStewTheOldManOnTheBlockTM]

Great video. Thank you for helping speed up production. I just need help in organizing files. I just been load stock footage, however I just got a external harddrive so I do not know how to set this up. Do you have a video or advise. Thank you in advance

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

So this is just an external hard drive for your stock footage? What drive did you get and how are you connecting it to your computer? Mac or PC, btw?

[@UncleStewTheOldManOnTheBlockTM]

@@AlexCameron-Depiqd I have a 1TB Portable hard drive. I need to connect to my laptop and I need to know how to set it up for you media storage on DR. Here is my email address if you want to reach me there as well. Thank you for all your help

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Hi Me! Great to have you onboard. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch, comment and subscribe. Anything you’d like to see in the next few weeks particularly?

[@julia.wagner]

Awesome video, thank you Alex. I am a DaVinci beginner. While following along, I encountered the problem that the Blackmagic Fairlights Library didn't show up after the download. I am on a Mac. I fixed that problem by selecting the hamburger menu (three dots) within the Sound Library Panel in Fairlight, and selecting the folder where it is installed. After that, I could search with *** and by term directly. Question to you - I am a non-native English speaker, and I often don't know what to search for, because I don't know what a certain sound might be called. I tried terms like clap, smack etc., but that didn't yield anything in the search. Do you have any advice or maybe a list of good search terms to describe common sounds? Thanks in advance!

[@bikaelmolldecereales7429]

Thanks ! The three dots in the davinci resolve sound library panel worked perfectly.

[@d42]

i wonder which site he used for getting audio clips...

[@artemsky788]

how to check which sound libraries are already linked to Davinci?

[@Axel.Hernandez]

Can you update this with resolve 18 ?

[@wildersupplyco]

The only thing that concerns me with using free sound effects is having copyright issues in the future. What are the possibilities of this happening?

[@meditaion-bv5zz]

Royalty free means no copywrite issues

[@criptosauro4587]

I added the library 2 times, and all the sounds are duplicated. how do I delete one?

[@joggihunt9821]

Hello, how can I remove some or all sounds from the Local Database or Fairlight Library, so that the titles are no longer displayed. If the sounds or the folder are moved or deleted, the titles are still displayed. But you can not access them. Thank you.

[@wowwowpoleh4e]

same question. did You found a way?

[@masricoqueelchocolate.]

same, not working in DaVinci resolve 17

[@PaulFisherMedia]

Dude BlackMagic website won't let me check the I Agree to the terms box to download this thing what the hell

[@reload54]

7:40 is what you want

[@calebcj7151]

can we use DaVinci Resolve 17 to make videos like 777

[@cosminosul8898]

I did all of tNice tutorials for years in Protools but watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials for soft soft I feel like a stroke victim in a hospital bed learning to speak

[@ElisabethBoelen]

You lost me at 1.57. Where is the project manager?

[@Stories10]

Nice! Just that your video sound is too low. Actually -9.7 dB too low.

[@stevethurow1559]

Audiio has removed their lifetime SFX package, March 2023.

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Yes Steve they sadly have. I checked with the team at Audiio.com. It's an important point that the lifetime deals may not be around forever and do come and go so if you get the chance definitely jump on the opportunity when you can. The good news is that their lifetime music offer is still available and is currently only $199 (60% OFF) - l.depiqd.co.uk/audiio-music

[@Imsoscaredchannel]

"***" in what world does a programmer make this a reality and think he's doing a great job?

[@mediaamerica]

They were going to use "all" but thought it would be too confusing. Really should show all by default but whatever.....

[@SANKETHSTUDIO]

Worst sound library arrangements in resolve... I love Fcpx sound effects arrangements...

[@mosijahi3096]

Then keep Final Cut then
