Unit of Competency | CUESOU09B - Manage and compile audio replay material |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to compile sound effects and replay material from diverse sources and to replay those effects on cue in a live performance situation.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. | ||
| Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
| Learning Outcomes and Application | People working as sound technicians apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit. Typically they are responsible for assembling the range of sound effects required during a live performance and ensuring that these are replayed in the correct sequence and required level during performances. The work often involves long or irregular hours and can be physically demanding. The ability to work cooperatively as part of a production team is essential. It is strongly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following unit:CUESOU07B Apply a general knowledge of audio to work activities.This unit has linkages to a range of other audio units, and combined assessment and/or training with those units may be appropriate. | ||
| Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: ability to correctly use equipment to record and edit source materials for use as audio effects in a live production knowledge of recording and replay devices. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the recording and editing of sound effects for use in a live production use of industry-current equipment. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: evaluation of audio materials compiled/edited by the candidate oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of equipment and techniques review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: source materials recording and replay devices. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills |
literacy skills sufficient to interpret cue documentation and source materials |
Required knowledge |
optimum recording levels for a range of devices operating techniques for different recording devices, both digital and analogue operating techniques for a range of audio equipment to complete a signal chain safety issues associated with recording material copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation that impacts on the recording and replay of material techniques for creation and adaptation of cue sheets |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Replay requirements may include: | multi-tracking music sound effects voice overs |
Source materials may include: | cassette CD live effects musical instruments radio and TV broadcasts voice |
Replay mechanisms or platforms may include: | cassette decks CD player DAT machine hard disk recorder mini disk player PC reel-to-reel machines |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
