Title: Control audio sources, using an audio mixing board.
Course: Television and Media Production I (11103-I) > Section: Production: Introducing Control-Room Equipment

Controlling basic audio sources should include using an audio mixing board (typical of live setups) or a computer software audio program (typical of prerecorded programs) to control two or more audio sources blended into a final audio program. The end result should include appropriate audio levels and balance.

Process/Skill Questions:

- In what situations might producers choose to mix audio live on-location vs. mixing later in the editing room?
- Why is it important to balance the audio?
