Good articles! Indeed old, but good, it took me a long time to find articles, and the best that I found was wikipedia...

[Jaap1978]

I have a whole lot more. In the upcoming days I will organise them into categories like interview, sound design, music etc etc.

Edit: updated my post with a few new articles and new layout and categories, if you want to add any articles, just send me a pm or a mail to musicproductions@jaapvisser.com or reply here and I add them to the list.
I will add on a frequent base new ones and I just made a start now so you can see how and what.

All articles with a "*" are new articles and I will update that everytime I add new articles so it is a bit easier to check what is new and what not.

Enjoy!

Edit: feel free to send me articles as well if you find some. The more, the better and I will add the name from the person who has send them in.

There's too much good stuff here to let this thread possibly slip into obscurity. Perhaps the mods can make it a sticky?

[Jaap1978]

Thanks Brian :)

I will try to update it everytime before it slips away. Even when it slips away we have our kindly Nathan who doesn't mind opening it again (like last time :P).

[nsmadsen]

I made this thread a sticky because there is so much great info here. Kudos to Jaap for pulling all of this info together!

Great job!

Nathan

[Jaap1978]

Will update it soon again with some new articles.
