The Transcription setup panel lets you select the language that DaVinci Resolve uses to analyze audio clips for transcription.
— Language: Select one of the supported languages here. Selecting Auto lets DaVinci Resolve analyze the audio clip and choose the language spoken.
Fairlight
The Fairlight panel lets you set up your project’s audio sample rate, as well as setting up various audio- specific tools in the Fairlight page.
Timeline Sample Rate
This setting can only be changed prior to creation of your first timeline. Once one or more timelines have been created in a project, the Audio Sample Rate is locked to whatever was chosen.
NOTE: Regardless of the Timeline Sample Rate you select, when you import audio files at different sample rates, they will be automatically re-sampled to the Timeline Sample Rate so they play correctly.

The Audio Sample Rate, measured in kilohertz, is the number of samples per second used for audio processing in DaVinci Resolve. This setting defaults to 48000 (or 48 kHz), which is typical for broadcast and cinema work. However, you can change this to 96000 or 192000 if you want to mix and process audio at higher precision. Be aware that using a higher sample rate, such as 96 kHz instead of 48 kHz, will use twice as much processing power and result in media that’s twice the size.
Bussing
If you want to work using the previous method of fixed-bus mapping, you can do so for new projects by opening the Fairlight panel of the Project Settings and turning on the “Use fixed bus mapping” checkbox.
If your project has fixed busing enabled and you want to change to FlexBus, then uncheck the “Use fixed bus mapping” checkbox. Note that once you have made the change, it will not allow you to change it back to legacy busing. The advantages to changing from legacy busing to FlexBus are enormous, so you will not regret making the change.
Audio Metering
Two options in the General Options of the Project Settings let you customize the Loudness Meters on the Fairlight page, while the others affect all other audio meters in DaVinci Resolve.
— Meter Type: Lets you select the desired Meter Type.
— Level detector: If the Meter Type is set to Custom, this lets you select Sample Program, VU, or RMS for audio level metering detection.
— Scale: If the Meter Type is set to Custom, this lets you select either IEC 60268-18 or Quasi Linear for audio level metering scaling.
