Run a Daily Shift and climb the ranks
What the eight-question shift is, how the seven ranks are earned, and what each of the ten badges asks of you.
On this page
The Daily Shift is one curated session a day: eight questions from the Mix Engineering modules, weighted towards the modules where your mastery is lowest. It drives the rank ladder — every rank above the first needs a number of completed shifts.
Running a shift
- On the dashboard, tap Start Shift → on the Daily Shift card.
- Read the Shift Briefing and begin. There is no blind mode or A/B in a shift.
- Answer the eight questions; each comes from a different module.
- The Shift Report shows your score out of 8, a mentor verdict, your strongest and weakest module, and a breakdown.
- Clock Out returns to the dashboard. Keep drilling opens your weakest module.
One shift per day. Consecutive days build your shift streak; a missed day resets it to one. Shift questions do not move individual module mastery bars — they count towards the shift total and your personal bests.
The seven ranks
Ranks use the average mastery of the Beginner modules (EQ, Delay, Pan, Level, Compression), the Intermediate modules (Reverb, Distortion, Filter, Phase, Width, Mix Balance, Pitch, Tempo), and your shift count.
| Rank | Needs |
|---|---|
| Stage Hand | — |
| Monitor Tech | 5 shifts |
| FOH Trainee | Beginner mastery ≥ 20 % |
| Junior Engineer | Beginner ≥ 40 % and 15 shifts |
| Senior Engineer | Beginner ≥ 60 %, Intermediate ≥ 30 %, 30 shifts |
| Tour Engineer | Beginner ≥ 80 %, Intermediate ≥ 60 %, 50 shifts |
| Legend | Every module ≥ 80 % and 100 shifts |
The rank panel names the nearest unmet gate, for example "3 more shifts to Junior Engineer". A rank-up shows an overlay once; tap anywhere to continue.

Hover or focus a badge on the dashboard to see its goal and your progress. Earned badges are never removed.
Mastery is the average of your last 20 answers in a module, so an 80 % badge asks for sustained form, not one lucky session.
Thanks for the feedback.
