ANNOUNCEMENTS
The August Edition of the HSS Song Contest is over with Mark George coming out on top as the winner. Although it was incredibly hard to choose a winner, Mark’s song,  “The Other Side of Sound” was picked due to its arrangement, it’s clarity and balance, as well as the interest it generated even as an instrumental piece. You can hear the song and listen to my comments on it here: (https://youtu.be/AN9DeEWihcw?t=3988)  
The September Edition of the HSS Song Contest is on!   
Here are the guidelines for the contest.
Original non-copyrighted work  No lewd lyrics or vulgarity  One submission per entrant  File submission in WAV or MP3  Deadline September 25th  Upload your songs here: http://bit.ly/September-Submission
 
Why would you want to upload your song?   
     The main purpose I started the song contest was to inspire musicians to release more music and to generate interest in others music, while providing insight and constructive dialogue from a professional standpoint on how to improve the song submitted.
     Now, a few months into the HSS Song Contest routine, this segment of the channel has taken on a life of its own! The community it has created and the feedback that has been generated from within the community is amazing! There have been collaborations, friendships, and professional connections made as a result of the contest and so many have claimed that they are learning more and more every single time around.
      The song that is chosen as the winner receives a free mix/master of the winning entry from yours truly and the results are shared on the channel to help everyone benefit from knowing what went into it.    
Wanna join the HSS Session Players? (https://bit.ly/Session_Player_Sign-up) From time to time I am asked to help out on a project or need some instrumentation for personal client work. While I can play a Bass, I am not a Bassist. That said, I am creating a list of Session Players that I can call on to work on projects. If you’d like the opportunity to work on some projects and collaborate with other like minded musicians. Sign up!
EAR TO THE GROUND
     Every guitarist knows that becoming a better player takes lots and lots of practice. Positive Grid’s “Spark” amplifier is a Bluetooth-connected practice amp/speaker packed with features including tons of onboard effects, a nice assortment of I/O ports, dual speakers, and a wealth of panel controls and presets. 
     It gets better: With the Spark’s free companion app, you can play along with tunes that you stream through the amp and have your mobile device display which chords to play as you go. Or, you can have the app lay down an accompanying drum and bass track for you to jam along to. The Spark mobile app (for Android and iOS) gives you access to a massive library of amp models and effects that let you emulate the sound you get from classic tube amps, acoustic amps, bass amps, and other types of amplifiers. You can also create customized effects using virtual pedals for Overdrive, Noise Gate, Delay, Modulation, and Reverb, or you can access Positive Grid’s BIAS-powered tone library that contains more than 10,000 amp and effects presets that let you mimic the guitar sounds of your favorite players such as Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many others.

This channel is all about helping home studio owners and musicians release music they are proud of. I do this through tutorials, Cakewalk training, gear reviews, interviews with Audio Industry leaders, and breakdowns of chart topping songs.
We can dream alone, we can create alone, but together we can achieve so much more.

Ladies and gentleman, tell me your busy without telling me your busy...
Today's podcast actually took place a YEAR ago! Durning that time I was scheduling a lot of interviews and had a ton of irons in the fire, so this one slipped under my radar. 
There is a ton of value in this podcast! Matt is a wealth of knowledge and as you'll soon hear, he's also a excellent human.
By way of announcement:
*There has been a new logo and look rolled out for a fresh start on the new year so head over to the youtube channel to see the changes!
*Leave a review on this podcast and send me a screenshot to robert@homestudiosimplified.com for a FREE course of your choice on the website or 3 FREE months of VIP Access!
