GENERAL MUSIC SITES (I stole these links from SA's Musicians Lounge)

http://www.zzounds.com - This site has user reviews of gear. Take them with a grain of salt, they're useful but always remember that the reviewer could be some 12 year old who just bought his first mixer ever, and boy is it awesome!! 10/10/10!!

http://www.mixonline.com/ - this is the site for mix magazine. the archive is free, there are a million articles in there ranging from how to build a basic PC recording setup to how to get that new digidesign console to automate your mixed drinks at the wet bar in studio C.

http://www.prosoundweb.com/ - a cool community of pro audio nerds, lots of resources for you to check out

http://duc.digidesign.com/ - digidesign user forums

http://www.steinberg.net/Steinberg/Foru ... c=lMen1423 - steinberg (cubase/nuendo) forums

WHERE SHOULD I BUY MY NEW GUITAR/LUTE/GLOCKENSPIEL/ORGAN?

Musician's Friend is one of the best websites out there with good deals. Their articles are good, too.

Guitars: For great value for money and excellent service, check out http://www.rondomusic.net

http://ultimate-guitar.com is where I end up getting almost all tabs. They also have some decent reads occasionally.

Up until recently all of my online music purchases were through Musician's friend. My only problem with them is that their backorders seem to be horrendously long. I had to wait so long for a bass amp that I ended up just cancelling it and ordering another one elsewhere. And I placed an order for a guitar which has been backdated for about two weeks now as well. Their prices, customer service, and selection are great though.

I also recently ordered a guitar from rondo music.. I apparently selected the wrong case for the guitar (i swear i checked first!). Before he shipped, the guy emailed me to make sure that was the case I wanted. I told him which case I actually wanted and he switched them and refunded my money through paypal the same day. So far so good :}

For anyone into techno, trance, electronic, house, drum and bass, progressive, hardcore or any other types of dance music...


https://www.beatport.com/


Tracks are a bit pricey ($1.99, $2.49) compared to other services but it's damn near impossible to find such a robust selection of current dance music unless you live in a big city near a brick and mortar specialty store.

Probably the best feature is you can choose to receive your music in WAV, MP3 or M4A format.

Use this little program for instant lyrics for whatever song you're listening to. I use it with Media Monkey, but it works with other players as well.

I can confirm that this is a good lyrics plug in for Media Monkey. Been using it for about a year. Avoids the spam as far as I can tell and works 80+% of the time. Can retry a different source if first one doesn't pull up the lyrics.
