Control Fairlight with 3rd Party MIDI Hardware or Tablet

Control Fairlight with 3rd Party MIDI Hardware or Tablet

Hardware controllers in Fairlight give you tactile control and feedback to accelerate your audio work. Physical faders allow you to control multiple channels and balance tracks against each other simultaneously. They also make automation tasks much easier.

Blackmagic Design offers high-quality dedicated Fairlight Controllers, such as the Fairlight Desktop Console and the Fairlight Desktop Audio Editor. While these may be ideal for any full-time audio professional setting up a dedicated Fairlight audio workplace, others may want to connect 3rd party midi controllers.

Third-party MIDI controllers can be used across different audio applications, and multiple low-budget options are available in the market.

Learn how you can connect third-party controllers and understand what features are be supported.

As a no-budget option, you can even connect your tablet with a virtual DAW controller app. While this does not adequately replace a physical controller, it can give you an advantage over using only a mouse and keyboard.

    Hi there,
    I hope you are well.

    Having never filmed or edited for green screen before I’ve recently filmed a wide shot interview with a green screen background. I’ve gone on to create a 3d model using Fusion in Davinci Resolve, from lessons on YT and help from BlackMagic support.
    However I am still struggling in my attempt to create and simulate the movement of the false background I created to match the real movement of the camera I used on a slider and the characters being filmed. As yet I’ve been close but not successful and with a shoot date nearing where I’ll need to go away and deliver this setting, Im now checking to get advice on what I need to do to nail this properly and finally.
    Can this even be done?

    I would very much appreciate any and all advice on progression with my task.

    Thank you very much,

    Kind regards,

    Oz Courtney
