Hello!
I am looking for a way to speed up my audio post production for video productions. So no beatmaking techniques, but purely volume/edit/restauration/eq jobs.
At the moment (as a video editor), i use software as premiere/avid/resolve. For audio adjustments i mostly keep everything within the software, as it often provide just enough tools to do the job. However, when projects get a little more complex it often also gets harder to handle, naturally. The thing that stands out the most as an increasingly annoying habit, is reaching for the mouse, go to that tiny line which represents the clip volume, set a keyframe/make a cut and drag it down/up to adjust volume, if that makes sense. This is by far the most common task as a video editor dealing with audio. I don't really care that much about speed, but it's eating up creativity/feeling with the end result, so i guess speed will improve the end result.
I think i'm looking for some kind of hardware panel with knobs/faders to help me in this process.
At the moment i use resolve alot, and i know about the existence of these panels:
bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1401681-REG/blackmagic_design_dv_resf_edtdsktop_fairlight_desktop_audio_editor.html
nofilmschool.com/blackmagics-fairlight-desktop-console
Especially the first link (audio editor), which fully integrates with resolve, dealing with almost all functions within the software really sounds like music to my ears. So you'll probably think, why not just buy them? well, they are expensive, (together will be around 8k USD) and i'm not 100% sure if it's what i'm looking for, and there are no resellers around to try it out.
So my question is; Does something similar, with other software exist? For example a similar panel which fully integrates with nuendo? Or ableton? Or protools? There has to be some kind of competitor, i just cannot find any kind of alternative other then just software. I'm not afraid of round-tripping, as i'm familiar with all kinds of sofware.
Or is there another super-fast editing technique that i'm not aware of which deals with these volume adjustments over multiple tracks and clips?
Hope i'm making a bit of sense
