What music related sites do you visit on a regular basis?

Uncanny or what?
 
I was just thinking about asking the same thing, these are the forumz that I tend to post (lurk) on in this particular order...
 
Cakewalk (superheroes)
(no url here, let's think of this as a 'you are here' arrow on a map)
 
Korg (Kronos '2' in the post) for '2' read 'new' or 'evolved' or 'you can turn the fan off because we punched a hole in the back')
(http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/index.php)
 
MusicPlayer forums (active and useful)(http://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/forum_summary)
 
Harmony Central (it's gone downhill since they got rid of the equivalent of bapu's wonderwall thread)
(http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/)
 
Roland Clan (let's face it Roland's own forum has more tumbleweed than well er, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbleweed_(1953_film)
 
http://forums.rolandclan.com/
 
and that's about it.
 
I would love to find more forums like I know already so thanks metz for starting the thread I forgot to post.

The focus over there seems to be on Logic. It has the most traffic and current events.

Cakewalk is the only site I participate on 
 
There's mostly great people here, I'm also grateful, thankful for the Forum Host's; their unpaid (voluntary) dedication and assistance.  Forum Hosts are only trying to help and as we all know; humans are not perfect.  
 
That said, due to the openness of the software (forums)....  forums are like magnets that attract drama-queens; vindictiveness, clash of egos and opinions, jealousy, personal snide remarks, the human spell and grammar commandos, the expectation that every human being is equally academically astute, the, the list is very long however {sigh}. Cakewalk is definitely one of the better forums period!. Nonetheless it only takes just one person to derail what was or could have been a great topic. It's no wonder the decision to add Forum Hosts helps somewhat; might spare the Baker's time having to sort out issues that forums are so typically infamous for (as explained above)!
 
I rather the whole day on a quiet beach reading a manual or any great books about audio and video techniques; anything that helps me learn more about the art of music, the technical side of music and the business, absolutely everything related to all that. So, no matter the decades of experience, I'm still learning something new, it's a continuum that won't end until I'm either 6 foot under or preferably reduced to ashes and scattered across the universe.
 
 

SoundClick has charts, but they don't mean much because people game the system for the pleasure of seeing their own name on page one. There are even services available to push one's play count up for a fee, if you don't mind giving your credit card to someone in Thailand. 

Sound on Sound, MusicTech, PreSonus forum, Sweetwater and a lot of company based YouTube subscriptions - Sounds and Gear, TechRadar, Toontrack...

I agree Dave, it's scary and that isn't the only issue.
 
Sorry to sound negative and I don't mean to offend anyone here.  Here goes;
 
Such music sites are part of the issue that has reduced the worth of music = ZERO. Who's making a liveable income if any money at all from sites such as SC?  In addition, these types of music sites make money through additional band services, addons and advertising.  At the end of the day the musician gets used as a contributor freely adding more and more content to keep these sites owners in business.
 
That said, musicians freely upload more and more and more songs to the point of  'Over Saturation' of the online music scene.  There are some great songs here and there but unfortunately gets buried so deep it's worse than trying to find a needle in hay stack. Charts are indeed moot, seriously, I've been #1 on the local charts at another music site for about 6 years straight, yet I haven't uploaded any new content for a long, long time.
 
Here's a reality shakeup about such music sites; I keep getting bands friend me, play my music and comment, I'm grateful, thankful for that however, out of about 4,000 fans (global) I estimate I only have about 200 or less who are might actually be loyal fans ((not-musicians)), this group is more likely to attend events BUT, since this group of about 200 is scattered all over the world, some as young as 12, others 45 to 60 year old, suddenly the attendance (fans) is down to just 20 (maybe more or less) just 2 couples and baby? LOL!  Nonetheless, I'll be grateful and all that but the venue manager will be counting his/her losses. So, the reality is, not viable to perform live entirely base on 'Online Stats' (as explained)!
 
IMHO --- My Advise: 
Don't waste your time with such music sites and their Charts, if you have already uploaded music? Just leave a few songs there and move on. I strongly suggest: Get your own website; embed apps/widgets such as; mailing list (signup form), and/or other i.e. BandPage, which also comes with player and retail options. From there promote your site without being too repetitive on social networks such as Twitter.  As for F/book and their paid to promote? Don't bother with that, just post your most recent release / event; to keep the message and link up-front; think of FB as your glossy poster with links to your site. Include a Blog and Emailer/Form (for newsletters) on your site.
 
My last song upload to sites such as SoundClick was so long ago I can't exactly remember LOL, I can't be bother checking either.
 
As for me (IMHO), I've been taking things real slow over the past few years, I'm certainly not interested in being the 'easy-one-click-uploader addict' or worse... becoming a freaking celebrity.... A few years ago I stranger who loved my music, purchased my CD (and wanted it autographed) said to me that I'm a celebrity? I thought to myself and replied, 'No Way'. Sure I'm grateful, thankful for that (and others who requested the same)! But aww man, face the reality, I've only made enough money to cover expenses e.g. the gear, the software and whatever. And of course, for all those years of sweat I put into my music.
 
Seriously, I hate being the center of attention (that's just who I am) it's been ages since I last posted in the Songs forum. I just think it's best to lay low, continue to hone away (learn), I always strive to do better than my last effort. Maybe seek out other methods of making actual 'Profit$' such as; music placement in movies, trailers, games and jingles. Or others here may want to setup a studio recording business, or other viable business related to the music.
 
Anyway, I sincerely wish you Dave and everyone else all the very best.
 
Edit: Just to clarify that almost all of my post is intended to whomever happens to stop by.
