• knowledge fields and details: retain redundancy in titles, but consistently use "space dash space", not slashes.
• licensing: remove NC, use CC-BY-SA
• question: remove hardcoded owner in competence label, add "owner" qualifier instead.
• attitudes: general spring-clean
• knowledge fields and blocks: add wiki introductions, why are we teaching this, what is the "spirit" of this?
• help/syntax: start with lowercase letter, no end-of-sentence marks
• Instance of "Profile" - "Essential competences" (user view): needs to be ordered by
  • TeBeVAT "place in process"
  • index number (last two-digit group)
• we need a query for orphaned knowledge blocks which are
  • not used by any competences and not implicitly used by "prerequisite knowledge" from another knowledge detail.

Consider removal from ESSENCE:

• 60 30 00 03 08 ET Work safely with machines (ETTEC)
• 60 40 00 03 09 ET Work safely with chemicals (ETTEC)

Consider superseding with higher-level version

• 60 40 00 03 09 Work safely with mobile electrical systems under supervision (ETTEC) (to unsupervised!)

PLease take a look at this competence: I think it is not valide. https://competencebase.eu/wiki/Item:Q1057

Take a look as this TEBEVAT item (Monitor Mixing) on EQF 5? https://competencebase.eu/wiki/Item:Q288

ERGONOMICS in Live Sound: Applying ergonomic principles to the work of a live sound technician can significantly improve their efficiency, comfort, and overall performance. Here are some ways to implement ergonomics in the context of a live sound technician's work with a sound desk and preparation for live sound:

Physical Ergonomics: 1. Sound Desk Placement and Setup: o Position the sound desk at an optimal height and angle for the technician, ensuring easy access to all controls, including VCA faders and group controls. o Use adjustable chairs with proper lumbar support and anti-fatigue mats for comfort during long sessions. 2. Ergonomic Tools: o Utilize sound desks with customizable layouts that allow technicians to arrange VCAs, groups, and mute groups in a logical and accessible manner. o Consider desks with touch screens or digital interfaces for easier manipulation of settings. 3. Cable Management: o Organize and label cables clearly to avoid confusion and ensure quick access during setup and adjustments. Cognitive Ergonomics: 1. Intuitive Interface Design: o Select sound desks with clear, intuitive interfaces for VCA, groups, and mute groups. Logical grouping and labeling of controls help reduce cognitive load. o Use color-coded or labeled faders and buttons to differentiate between VCAs, groups, and mute groups easily. 2. Preprogramming and Setup: o Preprogram VCAs, groups, and mute groups before the live event to streamline operations during the performance. o Utilize presets and snapshots to quickly recall configurations, reducing the need for on-the-fly adjustments. 3. Training and Simulation: o Provide thorough training on the use of VCA, groups, and mute groups to ensure the technician is proficient with these functions. o Conduct simulated live sound scenarios to practice setup, preprogramming, and quick adjustments. Organizational Ergonomics: 1. Workflow Optimization: o Develop a standardized workflow for setup and preprogramming, including checklists and protocols for configuring VCAs, groups, and mute groups. o Implement clear communication channels and role definitions to coordinate setup and adjustments efficiently. 2. Team Coordination: o Foster collaboration among team members, ensuring everyone understands the configuration of VCAs, groups, and mute groups. o Assign specific tasks related to setup and adjustments to team members to streamline the process. Practical Implementation: 1. Setup and Preprogramming: o During setup, preprogram VCAs to control multiple channels simultaneously, allowing for easier adjustments during the live performance. o Create groups for similar instruments or vocal channels to simplify balancing and mixing. o Use mute groups to quickly silence specific sections or channels without affecting individual fader positions. 2. Utilizing VCA, Groups, and Mute Groups: o VCAs: Assign critical channels to VCAs to control overall levels more efficiently. For example, use a VCA to manage all drum channels simultaneously. o Groups: Group related channels together (e.g., all vocals or all strings) for easier collective adjustments. o Mute Groups: Set up mute groups to quickly mute and unmute sections of the mix (e.g., all microphones during a break or between songs). 3. Monitoring and Feedback: o Continuously monitor the effectiveness of the setup and preprogramming. Gather feedback from the technician and other team members to identify areas for improvement. o Adjust the ergonomic setup and preprogramming strategies based on feedback and performance requirements. By integrating these ergonomic principles with specific functions such as VCAs, groups, mute groups, setup, and preprogramming, live sound technicians can enhance their workflow, reduce stress, and ensure a smoother, more efficient live sound experience.
