Tried recording on the H5 and using the Record tab in ADR. In Fairlight / ADR it only saw the built-in mics, no sign of an external mic. In Resolve / Preferences the audio was set to “system settings”. macOS saw it as my default external mic in Preferences / Sound. I think noise reduction or lowering the gain in post will take care of the fans.Ī nightmare today trying to ADR using a Zoom H5 connected via USB. But if the recording is other wise great and loud enough. If I use the iMac to record into Fairlight, I’m concerned about picking up the iMac fan noise. However that puts me back to using the iMac now. On second thought, perhaps this would not be useful as I plan to buy the Zoom F6 or Sound Devices MixPre-6 mixer/recorder in the 4th quarter and surely I could use that as my audio input on the iMac back in my edit studio making the Scarlett 2i2 redundant. I’m planning to do a modest music video in September (acoustic not electric instruments) but it will include a BTS with voice over talent. Will the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 bundle be enough for me to get good quality sound (much better than the iMac built-in mics) into the iMac via USB so I can use the Resolve / Fairlight / ADR panel to record my replacement dialogue and voiceover? Is it compatible with Resolve 16? I already have XLR mics (Sennheiser AVX and MKH416) and Bose noise-canceling headphones so maybe all I need is the base 2i2 unit. Note that the list of available inputs includes inputs from multiple sources, including the built-in audio inputs of the computer, and those of the interface, which for some interfaces might not have names associated with them and thus may simply show up as the input channel number with an empty name after them - this won't prevent them from working. In the Record tab, select a cue and use the controls at the top to record. In the List tab of the ADR panel, add cues that need to be replaced using ADR. The track should automatically be armed for recording. Select the desired track as the 'Record Track', then select the intended input as the 'Record Source' - this should be one of the inputs from your audio interface.

On the Fairlight tab, add a Mono track, open the ADR panel, and switch to the 'Setup' tab of that panel.

In my case, it is a Behringer UMC1820 (a bit bigger than what is needed for ADR work but I have it for other reasons), and it is the default audio interface on the Mac, so I am using 'system settings'.

Otherwise, set it to Manual and make sure 'Device' is set to your audio interface. If the interface is selected as the default audio interface for the Mac, you can set Speaker Configuration to Use System Setting. In the Resolve preferences, in the System tab, under Video and Audio I/O:
