How To Add Your Own Music Tracks to Spotify 2021 - Mac/PC/Android/iOS How do you add music tracks to Spotify that are not already in the Spotify library? In this step-by-step tutorial, I show you how to add songs to Spotify that are not on Spotify. This means you can upload any song (including your own songs) to Spotify and listen to them on your computer, iPhone, and Android phone. Adding songs to Spotify is easy but not immediately obvious! I have found this to be *extremely useful* for anyone learning to play a musical instrument - or sing. If you want to learn tunes that are not in the Spotify library, and yet that is your preferred way to play music. PLUS if you have CD's of backing tracks or similar content, it is super useful to be able to access it from Spotify so you can play back through your guitar amp, bluetooth speaker, or any other playback device that you would normally use. The steps are briefly outlined below, for a more detailed guide visit https://bit.ly/3oFVYxT In order to add songs to Spotify, you must have a computer, such as a Mac or Windows PC.

How to Use a High Pass Filter
The High Pass Filter (HPF) - also known as a low cut filter - is possibly one of the most underutilized tools in the electric string world. With an acoustic instrument, the body of the instrument itself serves the function of eliminating low frequency information such as bow changes. Once you amplify, though, either with a mic or a pickup, you lose that advantage. Using a high pass filter can clean up your sound and help your amplified instrument sound more like what your ears expect a violin, viola, or cello to sound like.

Talking Tone with Jesus Florido
Jesus Florido is one of the most versatile electric violinists around. He has written, recorded, and toured with an insanely wide variety of styles, instruments, and sounds. We got a chance to sit down with him and talk about electric violin tone - how each instrument brings a unique set of colors and flavors to the table - and why he tours with four or more different instruments.
