After spending as much time on the Internet as I have, you
get to know your way around. Below, is, in my opinion, the
crème de la crème of what the Internet has to offer, in
general, for music
and for computers. A few links
to clients' sites also reside at
the bottom.
links general

www.dejanews.com
Now "Google Groups" this engine
will search the majority of newsgroup messages posted in
the last half-decade. If you want some information, you
can usually find it or links to it here. Google groups can
also be used to post to a newsgroup online. |
news.bbc.co.uk
A great, balanced, round-up of current affairs and
sport across the world, as well as a source for live radio
and TV streams (sometimes UK only).
|
www.amazon.co.uk
Amazon is a world famous book and media retailer
- able to get foreign and rare items that you won't find
in the shop. Invariably, its cheaper too. With pictures
and user reviews of almost every product, finding what you
want is easy.

|
www.soundtrackers.de
Fantastic source of software and information for
a variety of musical needs. Since 2004, no longer updated,
but still maintained.
|
|
modarchive.org
A flabberghasting archive of 120,000+ tracker
modules, free to download, listen, tear apart, rate, etc.
Even with an option to download the entire kaboodle...
|
|
www.harmonycentral.com
Totally independent (and free) resource on all things musical. If
you're thinking of buying an instrument (especially a synthesizer) go
here now. For each keyboard / synth, you'll find at least half-a-dozen
review from actual users! For owners, you'll find links to resources on
the internet for your gear. Fantastic!
|
|
www.korg.com
Korg, makers of the Trinity series keyboards (among other gear) keep this
trendy website for updates, products and support. The frequent
interviews with today's music artists also make for interesting reading
(A440, Chemical Brothers, Phil Collins, etc.).
|
|
www.yamaha-music.co.uk
Yamaha, one of (if not the) greatest music companies in the
world. A practical website with the lowdown on new (and old) products,
plus downloads and manuals.
|
|
www.ex5tech.com
For every classic synth, you'll find a community of users who
discuss and share ideas and software and gear and... etc. For the
EX5/EX5R/EX7, you'll find a handful of saints - people who put hours
upon hours of their free time into helping other users (giving technical
support / making downloadable voices... scrub that... downloadable
orchestras). This site is their home.

www.microsoft.com
/ support.microsoft.com
Information on Microsoft and its products, including an
unparalleled knowledge base of solutions to common (and uncommon)
problems with Windows, Office, etc.

msdn.microsoft.com
Information on web technologies (including ASP) Access, and
general developer knowledge for both MS and universal developing
technologies.

www.tollon.net
Britain's
best solution for web site hosting. Great flexibility and prices
plus truly superb technical support. Domains, ASP, ODBC, email, WebMail,
CGI and all the TLA's (three-letter abbreviations)
you can think of!

www.dabs.com
Save a trip to www.pcindex.co.uk
to find the lowest computer hardware prices and just go straight to
Dabs. Huge range, best prices and free delivery. Furthermore, now you
can buy with complete confidence - product returns are no longer at cost
to the consumer.
TIP: email their Technical Support for a quick
response, if you don't want to wait on the phone behind ~30
people!
|
|
www.cclcomputers.co.uk
For those in the UK, CCL represents a safe
choice for hardware as well. Sometimes their smaller size
(in comparison to companies like Dabs) and the personal
touch it often encompasses hold an advantage. Very friendly
and helpful.
