 +**Step 1: Normalize Clips (Quick Leveling)** 
 + 
 +Before touching the mixer, you want to bring all your clips into the same "ballpark." 
 + 
 +  * Go to the Edit or Fairlight page. 
 +  * Select all clips on all 6 tracks. 
 +  * Right-click and select Normalize Audio Levels. 
 +  * Set Mode to "True Peak" and Target Level to -3 dB. 
 + 
 +This ensures no clip is peaking, but brings the quiet ones up to a usable starting point. 
 + 
 +**Step 2: Use the "Dynamics" Compressor (Consistency within Tracks)** 
 + 
 +To fix volume changes within a single track (e.g., someone leaning away from the mic), you need a Compressor. 
 + 
 +  * Open the Fairlight Mixer. 
 +  * Double-click the Dynamics slot for Track 1. 
 +  * Turn on the Compressor section. 
 +  * Set the Ratio to 3:1. 
 +  * Lower the Threshold until you see the "Gain Reduction" meter moving 3–6 dB when the person speaks. 
 + 
 +This "squashes" the loud parts so you can turn the whole track up without clipping. 
 + 
 +**Step 3: Normalize the Mix to -14 LUFS** 
 + 
 +Instead of guessing with the faders, use Resolve's built-in Loudness Normalization tool at the very end. 
 + 
 +  * Switch to the Deliver page (the rocket ship). 
 +  * Go to the Audio tab in the Render Settings. 
 +  * Look for Loudness Normalization. 
 +  * Change the Standard to YouTube (or ITU-R BS.1770-4). 
 +  * Set the Target Loudness to -14 LUFS. 
 + 
 +When you render, Resolve will automatically analyze the entire timeline and adjust the final master volume so that the average (Integrated) loudness hits exactly -14 LUFS. 
 + 
 +**Step 4: The "Pro" Shortcut (Vocal Leveler)** 
 + 
 +If you are on Resolve Studio, there is a specialized "Magic" effect: 
 + 
 +In Fairlight, open the Effects Library. 
 +Search for Vocal Leveler. 
 +Drag this onto your Dialogue tracks (or a Dialogue Bus). 
 +This plugin uses AI to automatically adjust the gain in real-time to keep voices at a consistent level. It’s significantly faster than manual compression. 
 + 
 +Summary Checklist: 
 +  * Clip Normalization: Gets them in the ballpark. 
 +  * Compression: Smooths out the "hills and valleys" within the track. 
 +  * Loudness Normalization (on Export): Hits the -14 LUFS target perfectly. 
 + 
 +Would you like me to show you how to set up an Audio Bus so you can apply one single Compressor to all 6 tracks at once?
