This channel is for anyone who wants to learn more about music production and composition, music licensing, sound design, working in Logic Pro X, and mixing/mastering from the eyes of a producer.
I have spent the last several years working behind the scenes as a composer and producer for tv & film. My music has been heard by many millions of people on a long list of tv shows, short films, YouTube channels, ads & promos, etc.
Now I'm finally stepping out from behind the scenes and building my own brand and a new business, working with artists who want to get into the sync world, and teaching you what I've learned along the way.
Want to work with me? Contact me via my website: www.markhimley.com

I started a new podcast, "Creativity, Life, & Business" and it just launched today!
If you want to learn more about living an intentional, healthy life where you can do the creative work that fulfills you and learn how to handle the business and financial side of things, this is the podcast for you.
This podcast will be a combination of solo and guest episodes where we talk all things Creativity, Life, & Business.
In this first episode I explain why I made this podcast and I also tell a bit of my story and who I am.

At the beginning of this month I started a new weekly newsletter for music makers called Free Samples Friday.
In this newsletter, as the name suggests, I give away free samples you can use in your productions every single Friday.
These are 100% custom made by me and 100% Royalty-Free.
This week will be week #4 and I'll already be at 74 free samples/loops that I've given away.
2024 is only going to get bigger and better for Free Samples Friday. I've got tons of plans and ideas for all the samples and loops that I'm super excited about.
So if you're interested in getting free samples every single week (along with bonuses and extra resources) that you can use in your productions, consider signing up for Free Samples Friday.

My fellow music producers, composers, and artists - are you interested in getting free samples every single week??
If so, I’ve got something I’m excited to share with you. This has been in the works for quite awhile and it’s officially launching tomorrow, December 1st!
Free Samples Friday is my new weekly newsletter for music producers, sound designers, composers, artists, and anyone else interested in receiving free samples and bonus content every single week. Every Friday you'll receive (at least) 5 free samples. (Tomorrow, the first week of Free Samples Friday, contains 22 samples.) These are 100% custom made, 100% Royalty Free samples you can use in your productions. These weekly samples will be a variety of:
-Unique Foley Samples and Field Recordings
-Cinematic/Trailer Hits and Impacts, Booms, Braams, Bass Hits, etc
-Drum and Percussion One-Shots (Kick, Snare, Hi-hat, Clap, etc)
-Drum and Percussion Loops (Full Drum Loops, Hi-Hat Loops, Percussion Loops, etc)
-Risers & Downers
-Transitions and other similar FX
-Atmospheres and Drones
-More
Also I will often add bonuses that may include:
-Additional Samples (beyond the first 5)
-Free Synth Presets I've Made (Serum, ANA2, Omnisphere, Falcon, etc)
-Tips & Tricks for Music Production & Sound Design
-Free Resources
-More (Basically anything I come across or create that week that I think you'll find valuable)
What you will NOT find in Free Samples Friday are melody and chord loops. I want these samples to be sync-friendly and I want you to be able to use all of these samples freely in your productions without worrying whether or not you'll get into trouble if/when someone else also uses them.
You may use these samples however you like in your own derivative work (i.e. you can use these samples in your music productions for free, with no royalties).
You may NOT sell these samples, include them in your own sample packs, or license them in isolation (i.e. you can't license a riser or trailer impact I make to a trailer, you have to use it in your own productions creatively). Basically just use some common sense and be ethical. These are samples I'm making and giving to you for FREE to use in your productions.

In two weeks from today we are having our monthly live event for the Sync Hole.
I'm excited to say that this month we will have a music library owner as our guest live for the first time. So, if you want the opportunity to get your music reviewed live by a music library owner and potentially get it signed, make sure you join the Sync Hole Discord server! This is a music library I have worked with personally and can vouch for as they've landed me tons of placements.
The first half of the event will likely be a Q&A / interview, and then the second half will be the music review.
Obviously getting your music played and reviewed does not guarantee that you will be offered a deal - but if you've got the right music the potential is there.
The event is two weeks from today, Tuesday, August 29th.
Submissions due one week from today, Tuesday August 22nd.
All details and submission guidelines are available in the Sync Hole Discord server.
Looking forward to hearing some great music!
