Setting up the mixer is an essential job in preparing for the live announcements show. Every step must be followed and double-checked. Make sure to test everything out long before the announcements show begins. Work with the person setting up the cameras and CG to make sure that the cameras look correct from the mixer monitor and the CG is following the script. So, study the steps, watch the tutorial and take the quiz. Then, when you're ready, go set up up the mixer! Good luck!

Have no fear, help is HERE!

If after viewing the tutorial and studying the steps, you still need further help, please contact a class "Trainer" to physically take you through the steps.

If you still don't feel confident to set up a job or run a job live during the announcements show, simply "shadow" another student while they work the job to get the feel of the steps needed.

And lastly, remember: Don't procrastinate and double-check everything!
