This is an interesting interview with Moby. He addresses the current state and direction of major labels, and brings up a few interesting ideas that the independent artist can benefit from exploring, like the fact that a single hit song can make up for the rest of an album being mediocre, as well as his program of giving music for free to independent filmmakers for their projects.

This video is short and to the point, but contains a few helpful pointers for mic positioning and mic distance when recording a vocal. This information is especially helpful if you’re just starting out and have little to no experience recording a vocalist.

This is a great series of videos I found on Youtube. They address the home studio, and so are very educational for those of us recording in an untreated room or a low budget set up.
Anyone recording from home should definitely check these out. Very valuable information.
This is a helpful one for those of us recording vocals, either as references or finished tracks. Compression, when used properly, can help your mixes sound much more professional.
