Tape-Op here. |
Yup - same here. In fact it's the only one I read on a regular basis. Why? Because it focuses on the people instead of the gear.
For reviews Sound On Sound can be pretty decent though. If I want to know who played in the NARAS Golf Tournament I go to Mix.
Best regards,

1. Tape Op -street level info about the real world.
2. EQ -practical info & glossy infomercials on Separation Mastering!
3. Mix -Industry news and Session News with pics in the back.
4. Electronic Musician - occasional good mastering feature ~ Greg Calbi.
I let 'em sit around the studio for one year max and then toss or recycle.

I would actually be willing to subscribe (pay for) to an on-line pro audio magazine that just offered articles - forget the paper and ink costs. Just give me information that wasn't edited with the advertising director looking over the authors shoulder.
When I was working in replication One to One became a favorite of mine-

Their site warrants a browse as they have a few sample articles online, this one for example: Vinyl - Still at the Cutting Edge
Another one: Who's this Joker? Never heard of him
Resolution is what became of "Studio Sound" btw.

Except for it and "Tape Op," all the other rags go straight
to the garbage after a 10 minute scan.

wow, gear reviews that I enjoy reading.
Due to the subjective nature of audio equipment, I usually completely ignore equipment reviews.
I like some of these, though.

My favorite pro-audio mags are the ones I don't get. |
Isn't that a catch-22 though if you want to get your favorites?

EQ: If you're trying to be BT or idolize the Neptunes, we're for you
Mix: Nowadays, just seems like smiling reviews, plus, In the "Sessions and Studio News" section, see pics of people you've sometimes heard of reclining unnaturally with their legs spread towards the camera at an inappropriately obtuse angle.
Pro Audio Review: "Hi I'm Billy Mays, here for the Audio-Technica AT2020 Microphone"
Electronic Musician: Sweetwater shoppers rejoice!
Audio Media: does this even exist anymore?
R-E-P: R.I.P.
Studio Sound: .... Hey, is Resolution available in the US? I'd gladly give up all the free subscriptions to all the other ones if this is as good a read as Studio Sound used to be.
I'm continually amazed at how I can continue to ignore the "Renew now, or lose your free subscription" notices, and yet keep receiving these things, or even start receiving sister-magazines unrequested. (ie: what could I have possibly done to deserve a free, and seemingly unstoppable subscription to Remix?)

Of course, Tape Op (LUDDITES UNITE!) and EQ (BT is beating John Vestman in the Hair Wars, though), but I'm biased (no pun intended).

It certainly is, but I'm not sure if you'd get it for free.
