Good evening!
the 2005 annual
MEGA SOUND LINK list follows
Note: Thanks to jjcDrummer, there is now a webpage html version of the list, which means you can click category titles.
You can find that version here :
http://staff.cofa.unsw.edu.au/~simonhunt/2005SoundList.html
What's New?
* Separated freeware plug categories
* New categories : Free Impulse Responses, Music communities, Music Industry etc.
* All links checked and many added to each category. Yes, it's bigger.
What's it for? : I'm chief sound lecturer at the College Of Fine Arts in Sydney, teaching in the Digital Media degree. This is a list of links for students to follow up both ideas and techniques. There may be some stuff you find interesting or useful.
Disclaimers : We're a Mac-based Protools institution (sound here covers installation, sculpture, audio-visual soundtracks as much as it does electronic music). We have Protools, Reaktor, VST-RTAS adapter, Max/MSP and a ton of freeware apps / VSTs / Pluggos / audio units.
But PC people please have a look below, a lot of the list is about ideas and not platforms, plus there's some good experimental PC software links.
This list has a
freeware focus. I've added in
some links that people suggested last year.
Also, you'll note the absence of links to individual plugs/developers - these are always in the instructions on the computers.
A certain proportion of these links always come from interesting discussions on kVr, so a thanks to all of you up front, and i hope you find something here!

We all know by now about AudioShot for the range of hosting packages geared towards art starting from Free with the ClearShot (for building websites) to very high bandwidth and diskspace hosting.
http://audioshot.com
Well the extra couple of links is the second half of audioshot AudioShots (notice the extra s) AudioShots is to promote artists from lots of work being done (site started at the beginning of this year)
http://audioshots.com
The other link is the forum aimed at posting music (and images) but if you dont have the webspace and all you want to do is post music you can upload it directly to the forum for free others dont even need to register to download and comment on your music its all free the forum

2005 pdf on the way. The pdf version is actually the main one - it includes a bit more Protools stuff and some details that are specific to our institution, also some more Australian content. I cut some of that out for the kVr version, which is more aimed at a general/international audience.
Anyway - I'll post up a link to the 2005 pdf when i've finished it.

Thanks Sascha - I think the site had been down for some time when i re-compiled the list back in March - have added it back in now
jjcDrummer - Wed Apr 20, 2005 9:16 pm
Awesome list!
A few questions/additions.
1. TapeOp.
It's a magazine on audio production that can be had for free, and they have a cool forum. There are also some free interviews and articles available only on their website. It leans a little more in the analog direction, but covers digital too.
http://www.tapeop.com/
http://messageboard.tapeop.com/
2. HomeRecording.com
Another good one for exchanging ideas with other home recordists.
http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/
3. I'm making a pure-HTML version of this list (today's version) for my own local bookmarkage. Shall I send it to you, Pantsdown666? The HTML is a little cleaner than you get posting here, and I'm adding jump links between sections and that sort of nonsense.

Hi Mods,
just tried to edit my first mega-post in this thread (replacing the list of Impulse Responses), but it's choking and i'm seeing the words "spam warning".
Am I at a word limit there ?
If it is, I've got the 2nd post "reserved" and can move a few things down there to make room ...
Will be gradually updating it over the next few months.

Here's a link to a similar thread I made about free software --->

www.gersic.com/plugins is probably the best PC freeware site out there at the moment imo.
