Live Performance Platform — V1 Operating System
Working team document • August 2026
Purpose
Build a repeatable paid performance platform from Room 3o7 that creates high-quality live performance videos, short-form content, artist profiles/articles, and a growing artist database — then expand the format into livestreams, live instruments, bands, and off-site productions.
V1 priority: execute first, learn fast, document what works, then open the system to paying artists.
1. The Platform
Room 3o7 Sessions is the working name. The studio is the home base and testing ground. Each session should create multiple assets instead of one isolated video.
Core flywheel
Artist books → intake → pre-production → 90–120 minute session → performance → edit → article/profile → artist database → YouTube + short-form release → archive → repeat.
Long-term formats
• Room 3o7 Sessions — one-song artist performances.
• Room 3o7 Sets — DJ performances, including DJ_3o7.
• Room 3o7 Live — future live instruments, bands, and expanded productions.
• Room 3o7 Profiles — website articles and artist database entries.
• Livestream / Twitch workflow — recording, creation, playback, audience interaction, and a bridge into finished YouTube releases and later performance sessions.
2. V1 Creative Format
• Primary product: one song.
• Initial audio: live vocal over backing track, instrumental, or full track as appropriate.
• Additional songs are paid add-ons.
• Three-song sessions and mini-sets become higher-tier products.
• DJ sessions are a separate format/product.
• Live instruments and bands are intentionally postponed until the core studio workflow is reliable.
• Primary distribution: full performance on YouTube; clips for Instagram and TikTok; website article/profile embeds the performance.
Green-screen concept
Room 3o7 has a green screen. The background does not need to look identical for every artist. Each song can have its own visual world while camera framing, titles, intros, lighting standards, and Room 3o7 branding keep the series recognizable. The pilots will determine what is practical and visually strong.
3. What Every Artist Session Produces
• One edited full performance video.
• Artist article/profile for the Room 3o7 website and artist database.
• Headshot/profile image.
• Performance stills where available.
• Multiple vertical short-form clips.
• Artist intro and artist outro.
• Behind-the-scenes material: setup, soundcheck, candid moments, and production footage.
• Song, artist, collaborator, and credit metadata for future search/database use.
Short-form / tag capture
Capture these during the session so the team never has to chase the artist later:
• “My name is ___, and welcome to Room 3o7.”
• “You’re watching ___ live at Room 3o7.”
• “I’m ___, and this is my song ___.”
• “Describe your sound in three words.”
• “Who should we bring to Room 3o7 next?”
• Artist-specific call to action: follow, stream, subscribe, or visit their profile.
• Clean Room 3o7 outro/tag that can be reused in trailers and compilations.
4. Artist Database + Article System
Every completed session should strengthen the website database. The profile is not an afterthought; it is a permanent discovery page for the artist.
Artist intake/database fields
• Legal/contact name and artist/stage name.
• Email and phone.
• Headshot/profile photo.
• Short and extended bio.
• Hometown/location if the artist chooses to provide it.
• Genre/style.
• Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, website, and other relevant socials.
• Streaming/music links.
• Song title(s), release status, clean/explicit status, and credits.
• Backing track/instrumental/performance file.
• Collaborators and preferred tags.
• Performance/technical requirements.
• Availability and scheduled session date.
• Release/usage authorization status.
• Room 3o7 appearances and published links.
Article template
1. Artist headshot + artist name.
2. Short introduction: who they are and what they create.
3. Featured Room 3o7 performance.
4. Song context: what the record is and why it matters.
5. Short artist Q&A or quote.
6. Credits and collaborators.
7. Listen/follow links.
8. Related Room 3o7 performances and future appearances.
5. Team Responsibilities
These are responsibilities, not rigid ownership boundaries. Everyone should understand the full process, complete their assigned tasks, communicate blockers early, and help the session move forward.

8. Pre-Production Checklist
• Artist intake complete.
• Payment/booking status confirmed.
• Song and correct playback file received.
• Clean/explicit status known.
• Performance concept and green-screen direction noted.

• Folder structure created before recording begins.
9. Post-Production + File SOP
Storage rule
SD cards are capture media, not the archive. Room 3o7 should purchase additional reliable SD media as needed and a dedicated external SSD for active production. A second backup/archive drive should be added as volume grows.
Folder standard
ROOM_3O7 / ARTISTS / ARTIST_NAME / YEAR / SONG_NAME /
• 01_CAMERA_A
• 02_CAMERA_B
• 03_CAMERA_C_GOPRO
• 04_AUDIO
• 05_ARTIST_ASSETS
• 06_PREMIERE_PROJECT
• 07_EXPORTS
• 08_SOCIAL_CLIPS
• 09_PHOTOS_HEADSHOTS
• 10_ARTICLE
Edit workflow
24. Ingest every camera and audio source; do not edit directly from SD cards.
25. Verify files and create backup before formatting any media.
26. Sync cameras/audio and build Adobe Premiere multicam sequence.
27. Select performance takes and multicam cuts.
28. Mix/clean performance audio.
29. Apply green-screen/background treatment and graphics.
30. Color-correct and check consistency between cameras.
31. Add Room 3o7 titles, artist/song information, credits, and outro.
32. Export full-performance master and platform versions.
33. Create vertical short-form clips.
34. Complete internal QC, artist approval when applicable, then publish.
35. Move completed project to archive and preserve final masters/project files.
10. Twitch / Livestream Integration — V1.5
Twitch should connect to the same ecosystem instead of becoming a separate operation. The exact livestream SOP can be finalized after the two pilots, but the intended path is:
Live creation/recording stream → finished song playback on stream → export/prepare finished recording for YouTube → artist profile/database update → offer or schedule Room 3o7 performance of that song (or another song) → performance content cycle.
• Use livestreams to show process and personality, while edited YouTube releases remain clean, permanent assets.
• Collect the same artist metadata during livestream collaborations so the database stays unified.
• A song created on stream can become a natural lead into a paid performance session.
• Do not force livestreaming into every shoot. It becomes an optional workflow once the recording and performance systems are stable.
11. Expansion Path
Phase 1 — Studio base
Live vocal + track, multicamera, green screen, artist profiles, short-form content.
Phase 2 — Livestream integration
Twitch creation/recording streams connected to YouTube releases and performance bookings.
Phase 3 — Live instruments
Practice expanded audio routing, microphones, monitoring, musician setup, and live mixing.
Phase 4 — Bands + second studio capability
DJ YC / Oba has a downstairs studio that can support experimentation with instruments and band-format sessions. The goal is to build a repeatable live-band package, not improvise one each time.
Phase 5 — Mobile Room 3o7
Take the proven camera/audio/live-band system outside the studio: the pool, venues, outdoor locations, partner spaces, and other destination performances. Room 3o7 becomes the production format, not only the physical room.
12. Product & Monetization Framework
• Base paid product: one-song Room 3o7 Session.
• Paid add-on: additional song.
• Higher tier: three-song session.
• Higher tier: mini-set.
• Separate product: DJ set/session.
• Future premium: live instruments/band session.
• Optional add-ons: additional edited clips, interview/profile expansion, additional visual concepts, raw footage if offered.
• Strategic discounts/comps can be used for collaborators or platform-building artists, but the standard model is paid.
• Long-term revenue: artist bookings, studio bookings, sponsorship/product placement, platform advertising/YouTube revenue, live events/ticketing, branded partnerships, and premium content services.
Pricing should be finalized after the pilots reveal the true labor, edit time, staffing cost, storage cost, and production capacity.
13. Pilot Plan
Pilot 001 — James Spence III / DJ_3o7
Purpose: test the entire system internally before a paying artist experiences it.
• Test camera angles and minimum camera count.
• Test lighting and green-screen keying/background concepts.
• Test live vocal/backing-track audio workflow.
• Test Adobe Premiere multicam editing.
• Test headshot/profile capture.
• Test intro, performance, outro, BTS, and short-form capture.
• Build and publish the first artist article/database entry.
• Test file naming, storage, backup, and archive process.
• Measure actual setup, shoot, edit, and publishing time.
• Produce both a Room 3o7 artist performance and a DJ_3o7 Set format as separate tests.
Pilot 002 — Blak Hustle / Barco
Purpose: run the improved system as if Blak Hustle were an outside paying client.
• Dasia sends/collects the full intake workflow.
• Team applies lessons from Pilot 001 before arrival.
• Run the 90–120 minute session template.
• Create the complete performance + profile + short-form package.
• Ask Barco to evaluate the artist experience and identify friction.
• Measure whether responsibilities and handoffs were clear.
• Update SOPs immediately after the session.
Launch gate
If Pilot 002 can move from intake to published package without major confusion, Room 3o7 Sessions is ready to accept the first paying outside artist.
14. Tuesday Team Meeting — 7:00 PM
Meeting objective: leave with the two pilots scheduled and every pre-production task assigned.
36. Review the Room 3o7 Sessions concept and V1 goal.
37. Confirm each person's responsibilities and identify gaps.
38. Review Pilot 001: DJ_3o7.
39. Review Pilot 002: Blak Hustle / Barco.
40. Inventory cameras, GoPros, audio gear, lighting, green screen, SD cards, and storage.
41. Decide what must be purchased before Pilot 001.
42. Confirm artist intake/database fields.
43. Confirm 90–120 minute session flow.
44. Choose Pilot 001 date and Pilot 002 target date.
45. Assign immediate tasks and deadlines.
46. Agree that SOP changes are documented after each pilot rather than discussed indefinitely.
15. Immediate Action List
• James: review this V1 document and mark any changes before team distribution.
• Team: inventory camera/audio/lighting/storage equipment.
• Purchase or designate dedicated Room 3o7 production SSD and any needed SD cards.
• Create artist intake form/database structure.
• Create release/usage agreement before accepting outside paid artists.
• Create standard outreach/booking message.
• Create standard pre-session confirmation message.
• Create Adobe Premiere project template and standard folder template.
• Schedule Pilot 001 — DJ_3o7.
• Complete Pilot 001 debrief and revise SOP.
• Schedule/execute Pilot 002 — Blak Hustle.
• Complete Pilot 002 debrief and decide whether bookings open.
16. Working Principle
Room 3o7 Sessions does not need to be perfect before it starts. The first two pilots exist to turn assumptions into a working system. Every session should leave the team with better content, better documentation, a stronger artist database, and a faster production process.
Build → shoot → review → improve → repeat.
