Music Production websites

[adam]

Okay, kids,

Do you guys have any websites you like for music production? I check all the websites of the manufacturers whose products I use (Ableton, Access, and Native Instruments), as well as the Access mailing list at ampfea.org. But I find these websites to be...not especially interesting. People tend to be very protective of their techniques, which I used to understand, except that my motivations have switched around to the point where I don't really have that kind of angle to what I'm doing anymore...that is, I'm no longer thinking along the lines that my secret techniques are going to get me a record deal... so I'm interested in finding a place where people are of a similar mindset.

Do you guys visit any sites that get into more than the crap on the ableton forums? People who are actually interested in sharing ideas, etc?

The production forums at www.blackoutaudio.co.uk are pretty good. Lots of samples and VSTs up there to grab. Some notable techno producers frequent it too.
