You'll notice at the top, next to the "Forums" tab is a "Resources" tab, which is loaded with ... well, it's loaded with pretty much nothing. I was going to get rid of it, but then I started thinking that it might be a good place to link to various useful things. For instance:
Societies. The only one I can think of is SCL (Society for Composers and Lyricists), but perhaps there are others? Is GANG (organization for game composers) still active? Maybe we could even link to that "Perspectives" Facebook page.
PROs. We could have a list of websites for ASCAP, BMI, and various international PROs. Granted, it's not exactly cutting edge information, but I think it could be helpful for some.
Videos, tutorials, or other links that could be useful to composers. For instance, I'm thinking of making a video which explains PRO royalties, since a lot of people don't really understand it. (Don't hold your breath, because "I'm thinking of making ... " is something I say a lot. ) Or maybe there is already such a video or link?
I'm open to ideas here, and I'm especially open to anyone actually compiling some of these resources.
