2. Confirm arrangements for recording project | 2.1 Confirm repertoire, artists, project outcomes and operational details with relevant people 2.2 Confirm project outcomes can be achieved within time and budget constraints 2.3 Plan and agree on communication processes and recording schedule with relevant people 2.4 Draw up and distribute rehearsal and recording schedules to relevant people 2.5 Discuss and confirm appropriate recording locations with relevant people |
3. Coordinate and conduct sound recording sessions | 3.1 Confirm that sessions are scheduled to allow adequate rehearsal and sound testing prior to main recording sessions 3.2 Confirm recording location, sound equipment and recording format meet production and work health and safety (WHS) requirements 3.3 Assess the acoustic characteristics of the recording location, and provide feedback on instrument/voice placement and settings to relevant people 3.4 Provide balanced, constructive and supportive feedback to artists, to ensure that performance meets project expectations 3.5 Recognise and consider individual perspectives, and negotiate acceptable outcomes to conflicts as required 3.6 Monitor and adjust recording to produce a final product that meets required project outcomes |
4. Evaluate recording process and product | 4.1 Use appropriate techniques to evaluate the recording process and completed product 4.2 Seek feedback and opinions from relevant people, and document results of evaluation 4.3 Evaluate own role in the recording process, and note areas for improvement 4.4 Use evaluation results to improve future practice |
Evidence of the ability to:
develop creative sound concepts for recording projects
work creatively, collaboratively and constructively with others to produce at least two sound recordings for distribution
adjust recordings to achieve project outcomes
document the evaluation of the recording process, outcomes and own role.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe the production requirements that may impact decisions about recording projects
explain the legislative requirements that relate to sound recording
explain how different recording and performance environments affect sound, and what adjustments can be made to produce required sound recordings
explain the sound equipment required for a range of recording situations
describe techniques for evaluating the quality of a sound recording
explain the issues and challenges that typically arise when producing sound recordings, and how to address them.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
relevant instruments and equipment
scores, charts or other written music resources
participants, such as performers and technical crew
appropriate recording facilities with adequate space and acoustic qualities.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
