Sound Resources

I've decided to put together a post with links to and descriptions of resources that I think are useful for anyone interested in Post Production Sound. I'm sure I've missed quiet a few things and people, please let me know so I can add them.

Books

Audio-Vision - Michel Chion - THE book on sound for film. It contains a perfect description of the medium, very theory heavy.

Sound Design - David Sonnenschein -  Great book that contains a lot of theory but also a lot of practical elements. Contains lots of interview snippets from contemporary films.

Film Sound - another collection of essays, edited by Elizabeth Weis and John Belton.

Sound Theory Sound Practice - A wonderful collection of essays about film sound, edited by Rick Altman.

Internet 
FilmSound - online resource with information about pretty much everything to do with film sound, lots of interviews too.

Soundworks Collection - interviews/making of's of recent films' sound teams.

DUC - Digi User Conference. Chat forum for all things ProTools. The usual mixture of nice people and complete idiots and some really interesting and useful information and a smattering of inane rubbish.
