Alright. Those three are the only ones that I really know about and have watched and know that they're really good (especially the D.Ramirez one, just finished watching all the episodes of that. Really well done, definitely worth the watch), so if you know of any other masterclass production tutorial videos, feel free to add on.

[Navron]

Geeze dude! Thanks for doing all the work for me

I'll add your new section in addition to many other suggestions later today.

[itroitnyah]

No problem, Nav ^^

Found a free PDF on jazz theory.

^Propellerhead has some great tutorials on their channel, not just for Reason but also covering more general techniques such as multiband compression and mid-side processing.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL80A587134198A5E9
This playlist is a weekly series they did of 52 tips and tricks for music making. They went over general techniques (particularly mastering) and also went over some of Reason's synths and devices like Thor, Malstrom, and the NNXT.

Guide still getting bigger. Various FL Synths tutorials and lessons. Just, y'know. It's here.

[Androidred0100]

I'd like to suggest a 5.5 Logic. I'll head the topic if you wish?

Dude, if you could do this, I would love you. I've been searching for ages for a good Logic Tutorial and have yet to find one.

I put together a pack of free PDFs, samples, and plugins last night for a new member who didn't know where to start. I figure it could be of use to other people, so here's the link:

Download Link

Right now it contains around 2800~ samples (mostly drums with some vocal samples and SFX thrown in), a collection of popular free instruments and effects (Synth1, CamelCrusher, Dblue Glitch, etc), and free PDFs on sound synthesis, mixing, music theory, and various effects. Lemme know if there's any free material that you think should be in there.

Edit:

Version 1.1 of the pack is up

[Nine Volt]

Where are those drums from? Free packs I assume, but which ones?

[froggy]

Where are those drums from? Free packs I assume, but which ones?

Some TR-x0x samples I've collected, a folder full of hardcore drums that I found in a list of free samples, a pack of 500 key labeled kick drums, the free version of Sample Magic's drum hits collection, and boyinaband's free drum packs for good measure.

[Nine Volt]

Hm, not bad (though definitely for beginners). I would grab the pack myself, but I have all of those already except Sample Magic's free pack and presumably those hardcore drums

[froggy]

Lemme know if you've got any free packs that would be worth adding. I'm mainly looking for pre-processed drag n drop stuff that doesn't require additional processing for ease of use (the one real exception being the TR drum samples because they're super versatile)

[JSynth]

Do you think the Messing with Vocoding thread should be added? Its not exactly a "tutorial" and it turned into a bit of a flame war at some points, but there still was some very useful information that came out of it.
I can also edit the OP to make it more effective as a tutorial.

[the4thImpulse]

Want to add this? http://www.mylittleremix.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7756

[CDPP]

Is there anyway to sticky this? Completely forgot about this gem.

Also, might this be relevant?

[froggy]

Dunno how much attention this thread gets anymore, but I just added a bunch of stuff to that starter kit I posted last page

Music Production Starter Kit 1.1

Worth adding to the OP maybe?

[Record Smash]

What would you recommend for doing Speedcore in FL Studio?
