It’s been an exciting year. Putting together this roundup reminds me how lucky I am to be surrounded by a group of not only super talented audio engineers and producers, but great educators as well.

We also launched our new streaming tutorial website this month. It’s an instant and all-access way to learn from Matthew Weiss and David Glenn, and we’ll be expanding soon to include tons of exclusive courses and workshops from all of our contributors.

We’re excited to keep bringing you tons of free articles and videos in 2016. One of the best ways you can support us (did we already mention the membership site?) is by sharing this roundup on Facebook or subscribing to our YouTube channel.

Have a great new year and enjoy these videos. Sorted by release date.
