What would a Director say when they want the A1 to bring up the fader of an audio source?

• A. Cue
• B. Raise
• C. Track
• D. Mute

Answer: (C)

In this setup, every audio source sits on its own track on the mixer, so a director will refer to the specific target by calling it the track. Saying to bring up the track tells the A1 exactly which control to touch—the fader for that particular audio source—so its level increases right away. It’s precise shorthand that avoids ambiguity about which fader to move.

Cue would imply getting something ready to play, not changing the level now. Mute would silence the track, which is the opposite of what’s asked. Raise is close, but in this context you typically identify the exact track to raise, so the concise directive is to bring up the track.
