On the suggestion of RB, I thought I'd start a composer resources thread. I know most of these are known but it'd be nice to see what other resources are out there from this community. I'll kick it off: www.vi-control.net - Virtual Instruments www.kvraudio.com - Plugin and other software www.scorecastonline.com - Pod and Web-cast about Film and Video Game Composition www.hollywoodscoring.com - some tutorials and music contracting and other services www.timusic.net/blog/ - great orchestration blog www.filmmusicmag.com - online film music magazine www.audiogang.org - video game music network http://filmandgamecomposers.com - online mag on scoring continue....?
