I just made one. Forgot to record my mic too. Forty Five minutes of waste. Fcuk.

I have an idea for a new link. I'm relatively new to this music thing, and I know little of the terminology used here. For example, I have no idea what a synth or a stem is.

What I am proposing is a sort of a dictionary thread with definitions of terms you are likely to come across when making music. It would certainly help me out a lot.

That thread was very helpful. I'll bookmark it for sure.

Update:

7.4 EQ Guide and Frequency Spectrum Added

[DoubleCleff]

I make all kinds of stuff using GarageBand xD

[Legion]

Broken link note: the 'guitars' link leads to a thread about microphones.

[Navron]

Thanks for the heads up. Weird. It seems whenever a link drops the link will switch to something else.

[Camsy]

I'm just starting out and have all the gear, I even have the creative spark needed. I'm just lacking the ability to put that all together on a program and get it sounding right. I haven't read them yet but I really have a good feeling this guide will get me heading in the right direction.

[Flinckie]

This thread cleared up to me how collaborations work in record time. I love you people.

The dubforums Moneyshot thread (Mastering and Mixdown) is amazing for those people looking to perfect their mixdowns and get help with all that stuff
You can throw it up if you want to

Heres a link: http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=233775

[Artimeus]

Ah, I would like to contribute a site! This place has worked WONDERS for me:
http://howtomakeelectronicmusic.com/

Within, you will find very detailed, thorough tutorials on almost every aspect of electronic music production in FL Studio. There is also an associated YouTube channel with video tutorials. Best of all? You can download the project files. Two hooves up.

I'm wondering, should i make an ambient tutorial for this? ;_;
Noone's done it yet!

That'd be awesome, always wondered how u make that crazy stuff!

[Watashig]

But seriously, I'm a new musician and the first genre I want to get into is dark ambient, like Aurastys or your If Equestria Burns. I would be so grateful.

Just make it on google docs! https://docs.google.com/?tab=wo&authuser=0

Or you could upload it onto something like media fire and just send the link.

[konsolN]

Wow, I'm so gonna Watch That Video

I really want to make good Orcheatsral Arrangements (like how I rearranged the word Orchestral there)

[Makkon]

Here's a few more to add, they're great external links that would be good to add to the list. In no particular category or order.

Oh man. Thanks, Makkon! What a fantastic recourse.

[Watashig]

we need that team fortress pony vocal site put into Navy Brony's "The MLR Getting Started with Music Guide" thread. Hopefully that'd reduce the amount of the same thread being posted over and over.
