Josh Woodhouse is the mastering engineer for my latest CD, “Keeping It Salty.” He also helped me with the artwork design and the duplication. He is kind of an all in one shop for your CD production, mastering, duplication and artwork. It was cool to work with him.
I noticed that the picture on the back of my CD was slightly stretched and my wife noticed too. It wasn’t too apparent to some of my fans but none the less I wanted him to check it out. I brought it over to him and he agreed it was a little stretched and possibly explained why. He said that he would talk to his duplication artists about it and also to compensate me he would give me some free mastering.
So thanks Josh I appreciate that.
If you want to work with Josh Woodhouse for your next CD I definitely recommend him.

So as some of you know I had my CD release party this weekend on Saturday. It was a good turn out and I definitely had fun and felt the love from all the people that showed up.
You know I sent out the evite and I was hoping to see some people that said they would come and but then they didn’t and then some other people who said they wouldn’t or might not come came so it was fun to see who came out for the party.
I didn’t know Alex North was so good at ping pong!! I am not bad but I was out of practice and he beat me three straight games. I used to have a ping pong table when I was in high school and I got quite good but Alex must have been practicing in his spare time or something.
In addition I wanted to announce that my CD is available for purchase online now through CD Baby!

I also had fun on Saturday morning playing with power tools and helping fix the parking lot stoppers at Bethany UMC.
Hope you had a good weekend too!
I stopped by Wendy’s the other morning to see if they had a sausage biscuit to eat. They did so I ordered my sausage biscuit paid the man at the window, picked up my order and drove off.
When I opened up the heavy bag (thinking to myself this is a one BIG breakfast sausage biscuit) I found one breakfast taco and another type of biscuit with bacon and cheese on it. I continue on in my car sampling my new food items. I didn’t like them as much as I would have the sausage biscuit as I obviously had the wrong order but it was really tasty.
Yeah I was one of the three winners of the Missle Command Remix contest….

Yes that day has finally arrived. That day was Thursday and has gone and went by now. I am so excited about getting the CD. I listened to it with my wife and we were able to enjoy the music together. That same day I picked up 50 copies of my previous album “Trust in the Lord” and so now I am ready and armed with 250 copies of my music to hand out and sell in the next couple of months. I hope that many are sold and many are listened to and enjoyed in the coming months. 
Until Next Time,
Be Blessed,
Matt Bryant aka DJ Salty Flavor
p.s. I am going to watch the movie Marley and Me now with my wife. I had IHOP this morning for breakfast…..hmmmm….yummy stuff.
So Tuesday came and went and I did not get my CD’s. Today came and went and I did not get my CD’s. Josh Woodhouse did give me an update stating that I will meet Hunter around noon tomorrow to pick them up. My previous CD Trust in the Lord is also ready with 50 copies at a cd duplication place called Affordable Sound. So tomorrow I wait with anticipation yet again to see my music come alive in the form of a CD. I hope Keeping It Salty lives up to my expectations.
Till then,
Be Blessed.
I just started reading a great new book by my new favorite author Ted Dekker called Green. He wrote three other books called Black, White and Red. This book is the prequel and sequel to that series. Special thanks to Chad Kingsbury for introducing me to this author and series of books because they are excellent lunch reading material and I would recommend them to anyone.
So at 12:30 p.m. I met Josh Woodhouse of Droplink productions to give him half the payment due for the CD so print guys could start the art work duplication and CD duplication. I approved it all as of yesterday and so they should be duplicating now.
200 copies of the CD should be totally ready Tuesday September 8th oh joy!
Oh joy indeed.
The artwork of all things is taking the most time to get down and right. I am was generally happy with it but then this last go around they changed some things and/or duplicated some text that didn’t need to be duplicated. The face of the CD didn’t look right either. Needless to say the artwork is holding up the process but I hope I really hope that today I can sign off on it and have it done by the end of this week but as you can see I have been saying that for a while now.
In other news I am meeting with Chuck from http://www.one21music.com to talk about Christian Electronica music. We are meeting this morning over some Rudy’s breakfast tacos for like 30 minutes before I have to go to work. It should be interesting.
