What an assessment for CUASOU506 must cover

35 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 5 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

2.2Consider requirements in production documentation when developing creative options
2.3Confirm with relevant people that the position and blend of sound sources meet production requirements

3 Create final sound balance

3.1Confirm that level of the composite signal is within technical limits and required dynamic range
3.2Confirm transitions between sound sources meet production requirements
3.3Adapt and adjust sound balance to meet production requirements
3.4Confirm sound balance and sound characteristics meet production requirements
3.5Identify and rectify problems with minimum disruption to production
3.6Work collaboratively and constructively with relevant people to ensure final sound balance meets requirements
