Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
Thank you for the add as well! Nice tunes here...always good to hear others of our ilk in the Twin Cities.
As for a general community, I'm afraid there isn't much of one yet...the annual Spark Festival at the UofM is your best bet (I play there every year), but outside of that, 'tis best to keep your ears to the ground.
I'm always up for getting together though, to talk gear, music, whathaveyou!
