So I'm not exactly new to music, but I'm just now getting back into music production w/ a pro level focus and ambition for TV and film composition after musically being out of commission for 2 long years and feeling a bit left behind at the moment, wanting to catch up and I'm looking for some tips on what music related articles, sites, blogs, theory sites etc I should be keeping up with regularly. I've been driving myself crazy keeping up w/ the current polical challenges the US is facing and I can't take it anymore and now getting back into music I really need to fill my head w/ something more productive. I operate a daw, play guitar, bass, keys and vox at a pro level and am a gritty hard rock solo artist/songwriter and looking at maybe music for TV/film. I'll probably start a YouTube channel to do something musically cool/unique, and I keep up w/ Taxi on YouTube, but what's some good required music related anything that you guys are members of and keep up with like doctors reading journals and can recommend to me? Both required stuff and just music related stuff you like? Many thanks guys, just looking for a leg up getting back in the music game and wanting to get/stay informed!

This keeps me busy learning about those-who-came-before.  This young man is very thorough.  I can't state how accurate he is (there's a lot of lore with these composers), but if you read the comments you'll get to know the facts.
I subscribed to the channel.

Orchestrationonline is another great you tube channel.

I would buy a one-year subscription to Sound on Sound that includes (or is even just limited to) web access.  Over the last year alone they have had some very good series on orchestral library usage and dealing with professional agents for placement of your music commercially (film and TV).  Those are just the ones that immediately come to mind - there is a lot more that you might find of value.
 
I believe a web subscription gets you access to all online issues, but without the subscription, you can see articles six months old and older for no cost whatever, assuming you know what articles you are interested in reading.

SOS isn't as enjoyable for me anymore.  Kind of same ol same ol.  If you live in the LA or NYC area, join the society of composers and lyricists.  It's incredible; truly a wealth of information.  Join AES if you're really into the audio side of it all.  Those are two very concrete steps you can take and trust me, it's worth your time.

Awesome thanks guys.
