Meet My Music: Virtual Studio Hang

Online

>> This is where artists show up and get heard.

Meet My Music is a space to share your work, talk about your creative process, and find collaborators who take music seriously.

HOME’s A&R Team listens with intention. They’re looking for Homies to invite into writing rooms and sync-focused sessions. This is your chance to make that connection. This session is open to members and non-members.

Whether you’re a producer, songwriter, artist, or industry rep, you belong here. Every voice adds to the momentum. If you’ve been building something, share it. If you’re between projects, come for the inspiration.

The format is casual. The impact is real.

A note on music share time: We can’t guarantee everyone will have the chance to play a song. Arrive early and have a streaming link ready (no file uploads). If the queue fills up, stay engaged. The insight you gain from hearing others, the feedback exchanged, and the support you show still count. Listening with intention builds community and makes you a better creator.

RSVP, come through, and make your presence count.

Please join this event HERE. Due to protective measures, we've moved these meetups into our HOME community app. Once you click through to join us, you'll be asked to create your FREE Account in the HOME App to join the hang! See you soon!

Meet My Music: Virtual Studio Hang & Sync Deconstruction

Online

>> Sync isn’t guesswork. There are patterns. There are decisions that move the needle.
This session is built to help you see them... and use them.

In this two-part experience, Mimi McCarley will guide creators through a hands-on look at what makes a sync placement work and how to sharpen your own music with sync potential in mind.

>> Part One: Sync Deconstruction
We’ll break down a real sync placement from top to bottom. Arrangement, tone, dynamics, lyrics, tempo, mix. You’ll hear what mattered most and why it landed. Learn what serves the scene, supports the story, and earns the placement. No trend-chasing required.

>> Part Two: Member Track Workshop
Active HOME members only, this is your chance to bring a song in progress. Something you think could work for sync. We’ll listen, dissect, and offer feedback grounded in what we just learned. The goal is creative clarity: shape your song into something placement-ready.

>> Register and RSVP if you want to:

• Observe the sync breakdown and learn from real-world examples
• Understand what supervisors and licensors are listening for
• Watch how songs are reshaped in real time to better fit the brief

Only active HOME members can submit music, but the session is open to the public. For security purposes, everyone must register through the Zoom link.

Please RSVP and join this event HERE.
