I'd add dancemusicproduction.com and D.Ramirez and Mistabishi youtube tutorials as useful resources.

Point Blank are ripoff merchants IMO. Their live courses *might* have some merit in terms of networking and shit, still not worth it. Same with Dubspot.

yeah paying 2-3 grand for a online course seem kind of ridiculous, but sites like dubstop and point blank are doing really really well right now so obviously there is a market, and people find value in it.

well i dont plan on spending all that money on point blank i just used it as a example i have found a place called sonic academy the do 3 months for 35 bucks that's all access to production videos ect.

the thing is i know how to put a tune together but get to a point were it seems less professional then i would like so iwas hoping to learn some new tricks i guess

i think those online subscriptions are probably worth it if you actually take the time to watch them. I would go with one that has a lot of content, good reviews, get a subscription for like a month and just get them all. Then watch.

I recommend you check out this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/user/SadowickProduction/videos

He is not the best musician in the world but he knows his way around Abelton (and a shitload of other stuff) pretty well.

He may know "his way aroud Ableton" but the guy is a complete handicapped. Checked some of his videos. 50% of them are him stuttering and dicking around. If you wanna loose your time by learning nothing than that's the right channel.

To the OP.
You got everything you need (for free) to keep growing and developing as a producer. If you can't make it this way there is nothing that can save you. Just retire and dedicate your life to agriculture or other useful activities.

90 percent of youtube videos are of the blind leading the blind, i really don't get why some people do it, and i'm not trying to be a hater,i understand they are only trying to help and its also a great marketing tool now, but some people just need to stop.

What"s wrong with the good old manual and just sit down and go through it, chapter by chapter exploring and doing all the functions. It will take you a week or two, but you will have indepth knowlegde of your toolset.
I assume that you are not looking for the guys who show you how to lay down 3 loops, stick a vst on top and call it your first production, you are beyond production courses right?

Look for something that focuses on mixing, there are some good books out there as well

Have you posted any music in the WIP thread?

I also used their site and it was really useful and loads of content. And they do alot of tracks in Ableton Live which is my main daw, so yea, even if you know your way around, you can still pick up alot of tips you might not think of otherwise. I highly recommend.
