Make listening live.
Host a real-time listening session with your audience. Play the music together, talk live, react in chat, and turn a passive audience into a room full of people.
How will you use CodaLive! ?
The experience is the same. The reason to care is different. Choose the view that fits you.
Turn attendance into streams
Every listener is actually listening to the music inside Coda. When you play a song, each listener generates a stream.
Give fans a reason to follow you
You’re not asking fans to join another service just to support you. You’re inviting them to something worth showing up for.
Turn the moment into recurring support
A persistent Set Home Artist action lets fans choose you. Each paying subscriber who does can earn you $1/month while they keep you selected.
A CodaLive! isn’t only engagement. It can create a concentrated streaming moment around your music while you’re directly interacting with the people who care most.
Turn recommendations into a live event
Weekly finds, new-release roundups, genre deep dives and album clubs become live experiences instead of passive posts or playlists.
Build a recurring audience
Create a show that people want to come back to. Your taste becomes a destination, not just another post in a crowded feed.
Give your audience a way to support you
Listeners can set you as their Home Artist, giving you recurring monthly support while you grow your audience and influence.
Make your release campaign a series of moments.
CodaLive! is strongest when it follows the rhythm of how music is already released - but you don’t need a new album to have a reason to host.
In a release cycle
Use each single to bring fans back, then make the album release the biggest shared listening moment.
Nothing coming out right now?
Build a show people come back for.
CodaLive! gives you a platform to build your community and experience the music together.
Recurring formats
What compounds over time
A predictable show builds habit. Habit builds audience. Audience builds influence - and the Home Artist feature gives the people who value your taste a way to support you.
The idea is simple. The setup should be too.

Plan → Schedule → Promote → Go Live → Convert → Repeat
This is the playbook. Keep it simple, give fans a reason to show up, and use the first session to create demand for the next one.
Plan the session
Pick one clear reason for fans to gather: a new single, album release, catalog story, fan Q&A, anniversary, tour moment, or another theme.
Schedule it
Choose the date and time, name the session, and set up the event in CodaLive!.
Promote it
Make the first announcement no more than 14 days in advance so new fans can join during the free-trial window.
Go live
Welcome the room, play the music, talk between tracks, tell stories, react to chat, ask questions and make it feel personal.
Convert the moment
During the session, make the next step obvious: encourage fans to set you as their Home Artist and give them a reason to stay after the free trial.
Repeat
Don’t make CodaLive! a one-off. Build it into the release cycle — or announce a recurring session that keeps your audience coming back.
Pick a Format → Set a Slot → Promote → Go Live → Convert → Repeat
This is the playbook. Think of it as a show, not a playlist: a consistent format, a consistent time, and a host people want to hear from.
Pick a format
Choose one repeatable concept: weekly finds, a new-release roundup, a genre deep dive, an album club, hidden gems, or a guest session.
Set a regular slot
Choose a day and time you can keep, name the show, and set up the episode in CodaLive!.
Promote it
Make the first announcement no more than 14 days in advance so new listeners can join during the free-trial window.
Go live
Welcome the room, introduce each pick and say why it matters, share the story behind the artist, take requests and react to chat.
Convert the moment
During the episode, make the next step obvious: invite listeners to set you as their Home Artist so they can support the show every month.
Repeat
Show up every week. A consistent schedule builds habit, habit builds audience, and audience builds influence.
