PRACTICE CARD — NOT VERIFIED

Resolve / build: __________
OS / project / timeline: __________
Track / bus / slot: __________

1. Define the test
Choose 20–30 seconds containing two differently leveled phrases and a pause. Record the channel, range and one specific problem. Another person should be able to find the same passage.
Observation: __________

2. Separate the static decision
On a copy, choose a sustained vowel. Change only threshold, then only ratio, noting which words trigger attenuation. Greater attenuation alone is not an improvement criterion.
Observation: __________

3. Compare timing
Preserve version A. Change one timing control in B. Note differences at word onset, during the pause and at the next word. Name an audible consequence rather than just “better.”
Observation: __________

4. Check Mix in your version
Record its starting position. Compare 0 and 100 while leaving the other modules unchanged, then restore the chosen value. Distinguish controls you tested from documentation-only notes.
Observation: __________

5. Accept the test file
Export the selected range through the intended routing. Listen from start to finish, noting consonants, breaths and background recovery. Leave the file status unverified until this is done.
Observation: __________

Before / after / remaining issues: __________
Listening and file acceptance: NOT VERIFIED
