The Audio Linkapalooza
(Originally posted July 16, 2014)

Not me! :) Great lineup though.
Anyway, I am always reading about audio and learning different techniques. I realized not long ago that I have amassed a huge list of audio related sites and educational resources. So why not share them! Here are just a few:
