YouTube to Mp3 [Converts Youtube Videos to Audio Files]
I use this to transfer files to Tonal Energy (Mentioned above) and transcribe songs I want to learn. This is because Tonal Energy lets you slow songs down, loop sections, and organize files easily directly on your phone.

Audio Converter.com [Converts an audio file to a different file type]
Sometimes audio files can be large and hard to send to other musicians you are working with. For this reason I often convert files from WAV to MP3 to make the files easier to download and send. This site has many options for converting audio although I most frequently use the WAV to MP3 feature.

Combine PDF
This website combines multiple PDF files into one PDF file. This is a great tool to combine a score with the parts and send one file instead with score and parts instead of a large folder of files.

Sweetwater.com
Sweetwater is an online music store for instruments, musical gear, software, and so much more! When I want to learn about music gear I go to Sweetwater first! They have amazing customer service to the point the send a small package of candy with every order. I highly recommend a visit to the Sweetwater campus in Fort Wayne Indiana. It is the equivalent of a kid in a candy store for musicians. You can tour a giant music store, see the warehouse, attend concerts, take a campus tour, eat lunch, and even go down the iconic Sweetwater Slide!
