Cutting ClipsĮditing clips in Fairlight all revolves around the Playhead. So if you have four pieces of music, you will need to have four audio tracks, since you may be inserting different effects on each piece of music. Typically, you will edit each source on its own track. Click-and-drag the mouse along the bottom of the track window to resize the track and to better see the audio waveforms.

Ensure a music track is correctly on stereo tracks by right-clicking the mouse on the Audio Track > Change Track Type > Stereo.Drag and drop the audio from the Media Pool to the Timeline.Select the piece of music you would like to import into your project.At the top menu bar, go File > Import File > Import Media.To get started on the music edit, we’ll need to import our media and load the music onto a track. If you don’t have any audio files to use, you can pick up some quality royalty free music and sound effects from Motion Array. Whichever timeline you have open on the Edit page will continue to be open in the Fairlight page-there are no separate projects or workflows to move between editing and mixing. Now, if you’re ready to start working in Fairlight, click the “Fairlight” button on the ribbon bar along the bottom of the program.

However, you would be hard-pressed to use Fairlight strictly for music production. There is no MIDI sequencer, but you can load VSTi effects and record your MIDI performance live to a track in the form of recorded audio. There is MIDI support within Fairlight but, it’s a bit limited.

Here are a few other things to keep in mind.

Audio recording of voice-overs and ADR.

Fairlight effects plugins are included, such as EQ, Compressor, Reverb, and Noise Reduction.

Channel Strip Mixer workflow helps you apply effects and automation with ease.

Meters panel allows you to monitor the loudness of each track in your mix.

Timeline based audio editing workflow offers sub-frame accurate editing.
