Informative Sites:
* Bedroom Producer's Blog: bedroomproducersblog.com/
(great listing of freeware VST software)
* Tweak's Guides: http://www.tweakheadz.com/
(A decent guide for learing your way around studio concepts) Note: as Rich (Tweak)
is no longer with us, the site is currently maintained by a relative of his. The info is still
very useful, but it is a little dated.
* Room EQ Wizard: http://www.roomeqwizard.com/
Very nice measurement software. Includes SPL response, IR Decay, RT60, Waterfall,
Spectral Analysis, and a few other charts. Also allows you to use a calibration file for
both the audio interface and the mic. I think you still have to sign up on Home Theater
Shack's forum to get the software, but otherwise it is free.
