FREQUENCY ANALYZER / FAIRLIGHT Practice record EN https://videomontazher.com/en/fairlight/frequency-analyzer Material reviewed: 2026-10-09 Work in a test copy. None of the results below is approved in advance. The page lab uses an authored mono signal; it does not measure your recording. 1. QUESTION AND ROUTE Project / Resolve version: _____________________________________________ Passage with the problem and a pause (10-15 s): __________________________ Source / clip / track / bus: ___________________________________________ Channel or observed sum: _______________________________________________ Analyzer position relative to processing: _______________________________ What you hear before opening the graph: ________________________________ One testable hypothesis: _______________________________________________ 2. SPECTRUM AND WATERFALL IN RESOLVE Time boundaries: ______________________________________________________ Mode (Full Spectrum / Low / Midrange / High): ____________________________ Observed region or frequencies: ________________________________________ What persists during pauses: ___________________________________________ What appears briefly and which event it matches: ________________________ What Waterfall adds to the Spectrum observation: ________________________ What listening confirms / does not confirm: _____________________________ 3. A KNOWN SIGNAL IN THE TEACHING LAB Test A: 750 Hz, chosen source type: _____________________________________ Window / gain / harmonic level / block index: ___________________________ Largest-bin frequency / amplitude: _____________________________________ Test B: 1000 Hz, otherwise the same conditions: __________________________ Largest bin / amplitude / neighbouring-bin pattern: _____________________ After changing Hann to Rectangular: ____________________________________ After raising gain by 6 dB: _____________________________________________ What changed in position, and what changed in height: ____________________ Calculation limits: Fs = 48000 Hz, N = 1024, bin spacing = 46.875 Hz. One block = 21.333... ms. Nine blocks = 192 ms. This is not native Frequency Analyzer resolution or a 50/60 Hz identification test. 4. TIME, ORIGINAL COMPARISON, SILENCE AND RESET Select the harmonic burst source. Index 0 / actual observation: __________________________________________ Index 4 / actual observation: __________________________________________ Index 8 / actual observation: __________________________________________ Settings before original comparison: ___________________________________ After enabling it: ____________________________________________________ After returning / which settings remained: ______________________________ Silence with positive gain / reading and graph: _________________________ After the full reset / actual state: ____________________________________ The original button removes added harmonics and gain while preserving entered settings. The burst retains its envelope; silence remains zero. This is the lab author's comparison, not native meter-bypass behaviour. 5. ONE CHANGE AND A CONTROL FILE Confirmed cause: ______________________________________________________ Processor / one adjustment made: ________________________________________ Before/after level-comparison conditions: _______________________________ Audible improvement or absence of improvement: __________________________ Lost tone, consonants, attacks or tails: ________________________________ Result after restoring the complete mix: ________________________________ Control-export bus / channels / time range: ______________________________ Exported file audition / actual observation: ____________________________ Separate loudness and peak requirements: ________________________________ Decision: keep / reduce / undo / investigate another cause: ______________ SOURCE AND SCOPE DaVinci Resolve 21 Reference Manual, chapter 181, page 4115: https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci_Resolve_21_Reference_Manual.pdf#page=4115 Spectrum/Waterfall text and panels inspected on 2026-10-09. Track, bus and Meter context: pages 4130-4132. The reviewed section does not specify native Analyzer FFT size, window, averaging, hold or amplitude calibration. A peak is evidence for further checking, not an automatic instruction to cut that region with EQ.
