Leave and Remote Work
Paid leave: registerable through the home computer.
Sick leave: triggered by needs failure.
Remote work: limited mixing tasks can be performed at home if the Zoi has the right home setup; live recording sessions still require studio attendance.
Team Projects
Music Producers collaborate on four-day team projects. Contribution is graded individually; producers who hit their assigned mixing or recording milestones each day rack up evaluation gains.
Tips
Build Performance and Media Production before applying. The interview leans on these skills, and the early ranks reward higher floors heavily.
Pair with the Idol Trainee, Pro Gamer, or freelance Creative tracks once available; music production fits the v0.8.0 Creative freelance category.
