OK, US folks, what's your favorite magazine to read to keep up with today's modern recording technology? I can't seem to find anything that satisfies... I've not subscribed to anything (not even PC Magazine) for a couple of years, and I'm still having withdrawal symptoms. I want my hands on printed paper for some reason... It seems that most everything folks put out in print these days is more of the same-ole same-ole, almost an advertisement for product, not a real magazine. Is SOS or Mix about it? Opinions? Thanks.

They have some good article's on micing and recording orchestra's and good ideas for micing guitars etc.

I read SOS, future music, computer music, music tech magazine, Mix, and the two stated above.
And i got most of them for free :)
Jul 31, 2005 08:07 pm One nice thing for me, living in the US, is I can get most magz out there... but are they worth it? Since dB does Music Tech, I'm inclined toward it. I can get a US sub to SOS, which I might do, but, colonel, which is your fav, the one you don't want to do without? My current "budget" allows ONE choice (yes dear...)(she is sweet, tho, like, le-grrrowrr).
Jul 31, 2005 08:23 pm Music Tech Mag is from the UK, US subscriptions cost a bit, each issue comes with a CD packed full of demo or special-edition full software, samples and all sorts of stuff, many of which I use often. The mag covers a lot of stuff for home studio peeps, tutorials, reviews and good info.
I love the mag. www.musictechmag.co.uk
Aug 01, 2005 05:39 am i read both SOS and music tech for a while - eventually i could only afford to regularly buy one and i chose SOS - i felt music tech magazine always leant towards computer and sample based music too much. maybe it's changed now though, it's been a while since i read it.
but yeah, SOS is like my bible :)
Aug 01, 2005 10:48 am Thanks guys, maybe I'll do the boutique bookstore 'cross town for a few months and buy them both off the shelf and see which I prefer. I don't want to ignore the sample-based stuff, but I did grow up in a *real* garage band, 2 guits, bass & drums. No sampling there, just us. We later added a B3 and were in keyboard heaven. Then the mini-moog came along, and it ain't been the same since...
Aug 01, 2005 12:19 pm i read, and keep EVERY issue of...
Electronic Musician
EQ Mag
Mix Mag
Remix
Recording
and, an issue here and there of Future Music
Aug 01, 2005 03:27 pm Ahh, but wyd, you have the "luxury" of working in a music store, don't you? Which do you like the most of EQ, Mix or Recording?
Aug 01, 2005 03:53 pm I confess to not read any of the above but I do like the Beano!! hehehe...
Err, a wee joke - I read Computer Music (UK publication I think) - not bad, cover discs are usually full of demos only which is OK but a tad restrictive.
Aye - you guys seem to have better mags over there.
Cheers
Coco.
Sep 18, 2005 02:00 am Music Tech, Computer Music, Electronic Musician and Recording magazine. As well as the occasional copy of Keyboard and Mix.
Sep 26, 2005 01:20 pm No idea if you've already made your decision, but I find that Electronic Musician really covers enough stuff that you're not just going to be sitting around twiddling your thumbs if you're looking to do a more "natural" approach to music. For instance, I recall one issue where the article was all about getting mic cabinets to suit varying budget levels.
Probably the best investment I've ever made. (Two year subscription, baby!) =)
Sep 26, 2005 10:41 pm no one else here gets tape op?
Sep 26, 2005 10:55 pm I used to read it, it kinda bored me after a while so I stopped subscribing...
Sep 26, 2005 11:42 pm I used to read it when it was more down to earth, but now.. meh.
Sep 27, 2005 12:51 am I still get Tape-Op Minkus. It did get kinda lame for a bit there though, so I didnt read it much. Its now getting a bit more up to date, but I think Larry has run outa new ideas to keep it all analog so he's letting the digital stuff come in and amake a bigger presance.
Sep 27, 2005 01:16 am yeah i've picked up some cool tracking techniques from interviews from tape op. each issue has some nuggets in it.
Sep 27, 2005 11:20 am I'm gettin most of my info from wed sites like this one. Magazines are supported by advertising, and this suggests some bias in many of their articles. A necessary evil, I suppose. BTW, Db, does Blackbelt help more with mic placement, or dealing with untalented musicians? lol
Sep 27, 2005 10:23 pm Speaker placement, also, I'll bet...
