Space View Channel Monitoring

Once you’ve configured your DaVinci Resolve workstation to mix audio via an Immersive format, you can use the Space View to facilitate surround sound mixing. Choose Fairlight > Immersive > Space View Scope to open the Space View window, which is a virtual representation of your control room with all defined source channels positioned in space according to the speaker that channel is intended to play out of. This view makes it easy to see which audio channels on which timeline tracks are playing out each speaker.

The Space View window gives you a spatial representation of what levels are playing where; this example show the various stems of a 5.1 mix.


Each channel shows a label and a meter that lets you see, at any given part of the mix, what audio levels are playing where, spatially. However, you only see channels that are unmuted and with a fader level of more than -70dB. A checkbox lets you choose whether to see labels for all track channels

in your mix, or to only show labels for track channels with active levels that are currently playing. The Space View is also aware of the state of all Solo controls, allowing you to quickly focus on just what you hear.
