What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Session preparation workflow — independently select, position, and test microphones for multiple instrument sources before a recording session begins.
  • Mixing board operation — regulate volume levels and EQ settings on a digital console with limited oversight during a multi-track music recording.
  • Vocal and instrument separation — isolate tracks and apply gating or bussing techniques to keep sound sources distinct during a mixing session.
  • Live sound reinforcement — set up and adjust front-of-house and monitor mixes for a small-to-midsize live performance with minimal supervision.
  • Sound effects and dialogue blending — combine pre-recorded effects, music beds, and voice tracks in postproduction for a broadcast or podcast deliverable.
  • Client and performer communication — confer with artists and producers to interpret sonic preferences and translate them into console adjustments during a recording.
  • Equipment testing and calibration — run signal-path checks and correct gain structure or feedback issues before and during a performance or session.
  • File management and version control — organize, label, and back up session files using file-versioning software according to studio archiving standards.
  • Troubleshooting routine faults — diagnose and resolve common issues such as ground hum, latency, or connectivity failures during an active recording session.
  • Time management under session schedules — sequence setup, sound-check, and teardown tasks to meet producer-defined start times and studio booking windows.
