To add a bus, I'm going to go to the Fairlight menu and click on bus format. And that's going to bring up this window. It's all about buses. Right now we have a main bus. This is what everybody's going to hear. We can also add a bunch of different kinds of buses. These are fancy ways to add effects to certain tracks to group things a certain way. You can add multiple different channels of outputs by adding another main bus. But what we're going to do is add a sub mix bus right here and click on sub and I'll just make that stereo as well. And let's call this dialogue. That's something that you'll be doing pretty often is routing all of your dialogue through one track. If you want to apply multiple different filters to multiple tracks, this is a really easy way to do that. So I'll just haste sub one DIA and hit OK. And that's going to add a track to our mixer here. It says S1. So now all we have to do is route our tracks into that submix. Super easy in the mixer. All I'm going to do is uncheck this number one where it says main and then click on number one where it says submix. Now everything that happens in this track is going to happen in this submix before it goes into the main output. So it's kind of a nice way to just group things. So anything that happens here but also logs. It's happening in the VO track but it's also running through the submix. It doesn't turn down the track, but it does turn down how much you hear of the track because it's turning down how much is being sent to that main mix, which is what we're listening to. So this can be an advantage when you have multiple tracks. So if I right-click on this first track and I'll say add track, let's say stereo, and I'll move this track up to the top just by right-clicking and saying move track up. And I'll call this VO2. If you go on an adventure, that's a great way to kind of group things and get a little bit more control for your different mixes. This is something I do a lot with like, you know, having all the effects on one bus, all of the music on one bus, all of the dialogue on one bus so that you can easily control them kind of in groups, especially if you have a big long project where you have one with a lot of audio. Now let's take a look at how to record audio directly to the timeline. I'm going to make just a new timeline so that we can mess anything up here. And we're going to set this up to record. Now you obviously have to have a microphone attached to your system, but you'll notice that if you try and hit this little R button, which is the arm record button, it doesn't really work. The reason for that is because you have to assign an input, which you would think would happen kind of in the settings here, but it actually happens up here in the Fairlight menu under patch Input Output. This brings up the Patch Input Output dialog and under Source here, you want to make sure this is Audio Inputs. Sometimes it's some weird junk that maybe it's main out, I don't know. But Audio Inputs is what you want. For destination, you want Track Input. So if you have your mic installed and all your drivers and everything work, you should be able to select microphone here and select both of these Track Inputs right here. And then towards the bottom, there should be a button that says patch. Click on patch and if you did it right this should say audio one this should say microphone. Now we close that and we should be able to hit arm record and you can hear me and you should be able to monitor your voice like this. Wow. I'm gonna take that off just so I don't go crazy for a second and that's how you can have that set up to record to the timeline. So I'll just record something really quick. I'll arm this to record and click on record. Hey everybody. Welcome. I'm recording something. Nice. And there we have it on the track and it should show up just like a normal piece of audio. You should also find it in your media pool under FL capture right there. If you want to know where that is, just right click and say open file location. That's going to be in a folder set in your preferences. But now you have that piece of audio that you can rename or save or whatever you want to do. You can set where these recordings go by going up to DaVinci Resolve up here and click on preferences. And under media storage, it's going to be the first option here under media storage. So that's how you would record a VO directly to the timeline. You can use this setup to pretty easily do ADR using the ADR panel. Just click on ADR and that'll come up. And this is where you can actually kind of type out your script and set the timing and everything and kind of just make yourself like a little VO script or a, you know, if you're actually doing ADR, you can type exactly what they're saying and when they say it. And once you have your list here, you can go to record and you can actually select whichever line you want, record it to the timeline using this panel and it'll kind of help you organize it. So that's a cool tool. If you are doing a lot of recording directly to the timeline and switch back to our original timeline, but also logs, which used to be trees You can walk on a bridge that also used to be trees One last part I want to talk about that I know everybody is going to want to know is how to add automation so animation of different parameters and stuff during this for your audio there is a lot of ways to do this and really it works a lot like you would expect pretty much like in every program. You'll have a line on each of your tracks, and this is the volume line. If I hit ALT and click on it, that will add a little control point, and I can do that as many times as I want, and I can move these up and down to animate my volume over time. That's a great thing if you have a really inconsistent dialogue, or if you want a really specific kind of change in your volume. So that's an easy way to change things over time. Now, if you want to adjust something that's a little bit more complicated than volume, you can actually go to this little icon here, which is our just it when I move it. Makes more sense. Just makes sense to me. So I'll start at the beginning. If for whatever reason I wanted to animate the pan here, Park, you will not only notice trees, but also logs. So that's a nice thing to have in your toolbox if you want to do some fanciness over time. But I'll undo a lot of that. And that's pretty much the basic workflow of how you would edit your audio inside of the Fairlight page. And we are almost done with our project here. Next, we're going to talk about delivery.",
