**12:03 PM – n8k99:**  
Happy New Year, team. Welcome to the new era of Eckenrode Muziekopname. As you’ve read on the website, the reorganization is complete, and we’re moving forward with a focus on creativity and efficiency. Let’s make this transition as smooth as possible. Questions? Post them here.

**12:15 PM – Katherine Lyonne (Content Lead):**  
Thank you, n8k99. Do we have clarity on roles yet? There’s a lot of buzz about new responsibilities.

**12:18 PM – n8k99:**  
Good question, Katherine. Department heads will finalize team assignments by the end of the week. Focus on Episode 46 for now—everyone’s input is vital.

**12:40 PM – Taylor Briggs (Tech Ops):**  
Quick note: We’re testing new equipment this week. Please route any requests through #tech-support to keep things organized.

**1:15 PM – Max Donovan (Creative Partnerships):**  
Also, if you’re handling external collaborations, tag me directly. We’re behind on confirmations for Episode 46 guests.

**10:05 AM – Katherine Lyonne:**  
Drafting the Employee Handbook now. If anyone has policies or workflows they want included, DM me by EOD.

**10:22 AM – Sofia Morales (Analytics):**  
Katherine, let’s include an overview of metrics we’ll be tracking for episode performance. I’ll share my notes.

**11:45 AM – n8k99:**  
Reminder: Episode 46 must go live Friday. We need *everything* done by Thursday for final review. No improvisation this time—stay on task.

**12:10 PM – Logan Reeves (Creative Development):**  
Got it. We’re behind on visuals, though. Do we prioritize promo art or title cards?

**12:30 PM – n8k99:**  
Focus on promo art. Title cards can wait. The audience needs to see something eye-catching this week.

**9:18 AM – Taylor Briggs:**  
FYI, the audio setup for recording Episode 46 is live. Whoever’s hosting, be ready by 11 AM.

**10:02 AM – n8k99:**  
Good work, Taylor. I’ll drop into the session briefly for oversight.

**1:22 PM – Sofia Morales:**  
Analytics update: Episode 46 promo posts on Instagram are underperforming. Could be due to New Year’s noise. Reposting with a sharper tagline—"2023’s Breakout Sound Starts Here." Let’s see if that gains traction.

**2:50 PM – Katherine Lyonne:**  
Handbook draft submitted for review. Admins, check the shared drive for updates.

**3:10 PM – n8k99:**  
Looks great, Katherine. Include details on 'beehive activity' workflows—those need to be crystal clear.

Draft visuals for Episode 46 are up in the drive. Feedback? We’re working overtime to get this polished.

**11:15 AM – Sofia Morales:**  
Logan, I love the color scheme. The tagline placement could be bolder, though.

**12:42 PM – Taylor Briggs:**  
Mid-recording issue—audio latency spiked. Pausing to troubleshoot.

**1:05 PM – n8k99:**  
Latency? Not ideal, but fixable. Taylor, keep me updated. We can’t afford delays.

**3:45 PM – Logan Reeves:**  
Promo visuals finalized! Uploading to all channels now.

Metrics look better. Instagram engagement doubled after the tagline change. Great call, team.

Recording session wrapped. Audio files uploaded to the drive. Editing begins now.
