We went to NAMM again and finished uploading everything. We posted about over 20 booths and there were a lot of modular synths this time - on 2 floors! Hope you see something interesting that you haven't seen yet: http://blog.volterock.com

That's an awesome site Volterock. A massive wealth of information is listed covering almost every conceivable area of music. Kudos for putting that together. Noticed your from California, and since you seem like you know your stuff I would like to ask your take on some good schools in ca for music production/business etc. For sub genres of Trance music if that matters, ie goa- psy, progressive etc. If you were going to for production, which place would you choose? Cheers

Glad you liked it Numanoid!

Tjgoa, thank you! I wouldn't recommend much schooling for music unless you are already financially stable and set for life, but if you really have a passion for it, it's probably best to go to a 2-year / junior college (Fullerton College is one of the best - ableton,logic, pro-tools..., Orange Coast College uses Cubase, or Citrus for recording / pro-tools). There are expensive routes such as Chapman University (Steve Nalepa is a master at Ableton and a very cool person), Musician's Institute, Icon Collective, Scratch DJ Academy, LACM, UCLA extension classes on composing can be helpful... Going to school is also great for networking but there are other ways to network without spending a lot of money... You can always get a tutor too which would save you time... youtube tutorial videos, free online classes are available too at places such as Berklee, can all help... I hope that is helpful Are you from California as well? If not, you'll need to live here for a while to get the community college discount on tuition if you were to go that route.
