Fix Bad Audio in Fairlight | DaVinci Resolve 21 (Lesson 6)

Learn how to FIX and REPAIR bad audio in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight! In Lesson 6 of my complete Fairlight training series, we'll work through real-world audio repair techniques using Fairlight's built-in processing, effects, and AI tools.

We'll start by identifying problems in our audio and then use tools like gating, De-Hummer, Noise Reduction, Track FX, and other Fairlight FX to clean up and enhance the sound.

You'll also learn how to remove clicks at the sample level and use Elastic Wave controls to retime and repair audio.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to:

► Find and identify audio problems

► Gate low-level background noise

► Remove hum with De-Hummer

► Reduce unwanted noise

► Repair dialogue with Fairlight FX

► Use Track FX and AI audio tools

► Work with processor-intensive plug-ins

► Remove clicks at the sample level

► Retime and repair audio with Elastic Wave

► Improve and enhance problematic audio

This series follows the official Blackmagic Design Fairlight Audio Guide, and I'll walk you through the exercises while explaining the tools and techniques along the way.

Whether you're a video editor trying to clean up dialogue or you want to learn professional audio post-production inside DaVinci Resolve, this lesson will give you practical tools for repairing audio without leaving Fairlight.

Build a Soundtrack in Fairlight From Scratch | DaVinci Resolve 21 (Lesson 1)

Proper Audio Levels for Video Editors (Dialogue, Music & SFX Explained) [Works in Any Video Editor]

Struggling to figure out how loud your audio should be?
You’re not alone, audio levels are one of the most confusing parts of video editing.

In this video, I break down proper audio levels for video editors, including:

• 🎤 Dialogue

• 🎵 Music

• 🔊 Sound effects

These principles work in ANY video editor — DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, and more. I’ll demonstrate everything in DaVinci Resolve, but the rules themselves never change.

We’ll also zoom out and look at the entire audio process, including:
• Setting individual clip levels
• Mixing dialogue, music, and sound effects together
• How LUFS and loudness fit into the final step

By the end of this video, you’ll understand:
• How loud dialogue should actually be
• Why music should support, not fight, dialogue
• When sound effects should stand out vs blend in
• Why LUFS won’t fix a bad mix (and what to do instead)
• A simple, repeatable workflow to stop guessing your audio levels
