| The verdict | If you already edit video in Resolve, Fairlight is a genuinely powerful audio suite hiding inside it for free, but it's overkill to install just for audio. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Video podcasters already cutting in Resolve who want to do the audio mix in the same timeline. |
| Not the best fit | Audio-only podcasters, the video editing weight of the app is dead weight for you. |
| The gotcha | You're running a full video NLE just to access the audio page, which is a lot of software for a dialogue edit. |
