An extensive list of websites that I find incredibly useful for music composition, production, and learning. Whether you're into synthesizers, drum machines, music theory, or just looking for some inspiration, there's something here for everyone. Feel free to explore, share your favorites, and add any gems you think are missing !
I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Music or General Discussion section since it's focused on music production but also serves as a general resource list. I chose General Discussion in the end.
Enjoy it !
