Blackmagic Fairlight Live Audio Mixers

Fairlight Live is the world's most powerful live audio mixer. Unlike traditional hardware based audio mixers, Fairlight Live is a software-based mixer, so it can support incredibly powerful features such as spatial audio mixing and SMPTE-2110 broadcast workflows. It even supports full redundancy! Fairlight Live easily handles hundreds or even thousands of audio channels, depending on your computer. Plus, it works with standard computer audio or USB audio from ATEM live production switchers. This means you get a fully customizable live audio mixer with built-in effects and professional features such as a cue player, talkback busses, third-party plug-in support, snapshots and so much more!

Fully Customizable Software Mixer
Fairlight Live makes it easy to design your own mixer with flexible audio workflows that are perfect for any project from stereo to 5.1 surround or immersive formats.

Simply right-click the channel number in the mixer to update inputs. Or use the window menu for bus management and I/O patching. Audio channels can be managed in the tracks index to show, hide or rearrange inputs and busses.

Native Plug-ins and Processing
Every channel in Fairlight Live includes a full set of built-in effects, giving you fast access to essential processing. Each input or bus features a 6-band EQ, expander/gate, compressor, limiter and panner for detailed control over tone and dynamics. Fairlight Live also has an extensive library of 30 native plug-ins covering de-essers, reverb, delay and more. 3rd-party AU and VST plug-ins are also supported. The ChainFX plug-in can expand 4 effects slots to 24 plug-ins.
