A[/quote] It's brilliant - I'd actually be happy to pay a fair whack for this if it wasn't free. Highly recommended. A lot of really interesting people (e.g. Ethan Johns) have done interviews with this magazine when they usually don't do talk to other recording magazines. Sign up - you won't be disappointed.

mike257 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Couldn't agree more, I've been getting this for a year or so and it's absolutely fantastic. It's not cluttered up with reviews that kiss up to manufacturers like most recording mags. It's full of interesting interviews about how people make music, and even the letters page is filled with contributions from professionals... Steve Albini is a regular ranter in there! I still can't believe it's free, it's the best recording mag going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Do you have to pay postage or is it completely free? Have I missed something? It looks great though so I can't work out why they sell it for free. Maybe they make a sh*t load from ads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they make a fortune from ads - I genuinely get the impression it's done because the guys that create it just love doing it. And that's why it's so highly regarded & gets contributions from the best people in the recording world... You can buy a couple of 'best of' books as well - they probably help with their finances. I think the last issue was delivered a couple of weeks ago - so you might have to wait a few weeks for the next one...

slaphappygarry Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah, Agreed. One of the best. Sometimes it crawls a little into obscurity but then, with guys like Steve Albini chiming in his 2p every now and then, it is worth. I read last months cover to cover.
