Berklee College of Music Launches Blog Network
Berklee has long been known for providing great content online and off for musicians regarding all the aspects of music creation, production and business, but just the other day it joined the ranks of the many new blog networks that have been launching of late with Berklee Music Blogs.
My perusal of their offering has looked quite promising and there’s been a pretty decent amount of quality content available throughout the network, such as this article for those of you who wish, for some reason, to try your luck with the traditional music industry and support the standing hegemony (we all know my opinion is to work directly with publishers, distributors and the like and cut out the middleman).
The blog network is staffed by music industry professionals, professors and educators from Berklee, and others and apparently covers music business, production, songwriting, music theory (yes, it actually is good for you!) and performance skills.
I have particularly enjoyed the advice of Erik Hawkins on production, remixing, Reason and Pro Tools, and not just because it seems he uses a Mac. For instance, this article on using reverb is great and has some fantastic pointers on the use of the effect, that may come as a happy surprise for those of you who wish all those plugins on each track would stop slowing down your grandma-configured computer.
I suggest you go take a look at the network and judge for yourself - but at the least, it’s great to see the fairly sparse musician’s niche in the blogosphere filling out a bit more!

Berklee College of Music has given great musicians over the time. I salute the blog, I will read it, i guess, since you can always have what to learn from such a source.
