I have found http://www.musictheory.net very helpful. I am working my way through a Bachelor of Education with a major in music, and the aural training apps on the website are very useful for helping to train my ear, something that I’ve never worked on before now.
I have used http://www.scalerator.com a lot aswell, also for personal learning purposes

Well as a guitarist I have quite a few sites in my rss reader, but one of my faves is: http://www.iheartguitarblog.com and also musicradar.co.uk is excellent.
And of course my own site is quite useful to other guitar players

there are not many good audio tutorial sites. In the world of graphics design there are tons of blogs posting tutorials. it doesnt seem like that for music.
( )Esben Lorenzen October 20th
for tutorials i use Audiotuts.com and youtube.
( )for samples i use sampleswap.org and for gear-news i check a danish online musicstore.

I like soundonsound.com (and the real magazine when I could buy it).
I’m found of their articles about the mix or recording details of hit tracks and there is real pros on the forum as well.
The problem with Gearslutz it’s that anybody write anything and sometimes you wonder if the guys there actually DO music or just talk about the next magic expensive plugin that will solve all your mixing problems …
http://www.kvraudio.com made me discover real good free plugins.
And as a final note if you have lots of time I would recommand this thread on the Reaper forum : http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=29283

I’m reading a quite new blog written by some Scandinavian guys. Marcus Schössow, Ville Lope and a few more.
Not that much about production (audiotuts is still #1), but useful gear reviews, funny vids, electronica stuff and a pretty nice podcast.
Adress is http://www.innotune.net
I also search youtube a lot for tutorials, and read http://www.beatportal.com.

I use to be big on harmony central’s keyboards synths and samplers forum. Also the rapmusic.com production forum. But now, I’d rather read blog articles than participate in forums. So I have been looking for some good blogs to subscribe to with articles like those found in Remix, Electronic Musician, and Keyboard mag.
