arranged using the Motif. Alan is the consummate teacher and
has been terrific at sharing his time and experience with
all of us. |
| Torchlight
Creek |
Kenneth
Hill is a member of the Motifator forum. Check this website
out. Here he collaborates with Daniel MacCallum writing and
performing new age music inspired by acoustic guitar and flute
(among other things). Really nice sounding stuff. |

also a very nice writer and does music reviews for Gods Of
Music. |

a varied and accomplished background in several types of music.
Definitely worth the listen! |

Another
contributer in the Motif forum - one of the 'gang' of awesome
musicians. Check out his site for some really nice beats |
| Harmony
Central |
Harmony
Central is very much the musician's friend and a very useful
resource. Harmony Central especially excels at product information
and reviews and a really deep forum on home recording and
equipment. |
| The
Recording Website |
Great
place for home recording tips. I especially found their stuff
on EQ really good (The Equalization Primer by Robert Dennis). |
| OLGA |
The
Online Guitar Archive. The best thing about this site that
you can find guitar tabs for almost any song you can think
of. Plus a lot of other cool guitar resources here. |
| Goliad
Music |
I take
occasional voice lessons from James Robbins. In his site,
he offers a lot of good instruction (for free!) and just completed
a book on music composition that looks to be great. James
sings, plays the guitar, arranges, and composes - all extremely
well. |
| Mi2N |
Music
Industry News Network. Good source for music industry news
but I think they are trying a bit too hard to be cutesy with
that acronym! |
| GarageBand |
This
is a site where you can upload music and have it reviewed
and ranked among other contributors. Not only is this a useful
site for musicians but I think it's an extremely neat idea.
The website interface and usability is one of the best I've
seen. |
| AMG |
All
Music Guide. This site is unbelievable! Wonderful encyclopedia-like
descriptions of any bands and artists that you can imagine.
Plus really useful descriptions of various genres and cross
references across genres and sub genres. Even album and song
reviews. This site is THE PLACE for learn about music and
musicians (current and classic). |
| MojoPie |
This
is a terrific resource aimed primarily to the home recording
musician. Reviews of affordable equipment and some very nice
tips and articles. |
| Studio
Covers |
A really
useful directory containing a LOT of great articles on home
recording. I'm constantly learning new things from this archive |
| Home
Recording BBS |
Another
bulletin board for home recording enthusiasts. Topics here
include an amazing variety: mixing and mastering, building
a studio, songwriting, guitars, microphones, music business...
and it goes on and on |
| The
Recording Project |
And
yet another good series of bulletin boards for musicians and
home recordists - professional and amateur alike. Chock full
of good information and friendly people. |
| Motifator |
This
is a terrific sight offering great information on the Yamaha
Motif line of workstations. I can't tell you how often I got
useful and needed information from the FAQs and the
wonderful people in the forum. |

Akai DPS16 |
This
is a Yahoo! Group that is dedicated to discussion and
support for the Akai line of personal digital
recorders/mixers. |

A
forum dedicated to discussion of the pre-mastering software
Ozone by Izotope. |

Reviews |
User
reviews of equipment from Harmony Central. This seem to be a
very active area so you can usually find reviews of what you
are looking for. |
| Music
Gear Review |
A
pretty good site to look for personal reviews of musical
equipment |
| Epinions |
Another
good site to look at when researching equipment to get some
personal reviews |
| The
Listening Sessions |
Dan
Richards run this site. It is an extremely exhaustive sight
that compares different microphones and preamps in different
controlled settings. LOTS of clips to peruse. A great way to
get an idea when you are shopping for mics and preamps. |
