What are some of your favourite online music making resources?
It could be anything from tutorials, YouTube channels, plugins/software, anything goes for this first post.
One of the most recent things I've stumbled across recently was Baphometrix's Clip-to-zero series. While I don't work on music that needs to be competitively loud, the in-depth series helped provide a new perspective to incorporate into decades-old mixing habbits.

I also really appreciate the work Dan Worrall is doing these days: https://www.youtube.com/c/DanWorrall

Also, these pdf on how to learn and be organized
Nice list!
I have to admit, I've not really found many freeware plugins I end up sticking to. Any particular recommendations?
Really ? I'm no professional, but what I understand is that you don't need to buy plugins to get good sound. You just need to know how to use it properly. I saw a couple of video of people using online Reaper's free plugins.
I did use only free plugins in my last EP. Still sounds good to me.
Check Voxengo's free VST. There are great ! And SPAN is really useful. https://www.voxengo.com/group/free-vst-plugin-download/
TDR has a really nice EQ: https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-nova/
And Vital, one of the synth that is popular this days is free: https://vital.audio/
For finding samples I always used freesounds.org but a friend of mine recently turned me on to Splice, it's a good way to get professional sounding sample packs and individual sounds based on a subscription model.
Another cool resource that is free is the synth plugin Vital. It's somewhat comparable to serum or massive, very in depth modern wavetable synth with a ton of routing capabilities and onboard effects. Highly recommended!
Never heard of Vital… will check it out as a heavy Massive X user. Thanks!
