Members Ernest Buckley Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I`m not into the DJ thing at all but I must admit, I love REMIX. It is the one magazine in my humble opinion that is full of more quality articles than any other on the market today, including SOS which I love. Even the paper they use is of a better quality. What would put it over the top for me would be a sampler CD with each issue that would include songs/remixes and software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep meaning to not renew my free industry subscription and then I do renew... just 'cause. It's good. A reoccurring theme is the DJ that gets into "Pro Tools" and makes an album of his own stuff. It offers a different angle to the whole DIY movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Remix is good, absolutely. Creative music production doesn't need to be tied to one style or genre. FYI: if you don't read it already, Sound On Sound is terrific for application-based info as well. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as bad as my "Neverending Hasselhoff"......well, not really. Is that Carnie Wilson before the surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aliengroover Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Count my vote for Remix also! It's a great read. SOS hasn't been topped, though, IMHO. And now that they've been including the disks with it (which Remix does do every couple of months or so), it's really edged out everybody else. In my last days with them, the disks were really all I liked about Future Music. To me, Computer Music has totally moved their sister mag to the side. They're also pretty good from time to time. Right now, for me, it's SOS, Remix, EQ, and sometimes Keyboard and CM. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the stranger Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Recording and Tape Op are my favs. Remix is cool. SOS is seriously good, and one of these days I'll spring for that expensive sub. (In the US) I also like Electronic Musician a lot. EQ is great, but I really think right now they are in the middle of nowhere (in terms of there focus and direction). The mag keeps getting thinner (relecting a lack of ad sales?) I really think EQ needs to follow a more home studio approach. Leave the trade mag {censored} to Mix. I still think Recording is the best. I have learned more from that mag than any other.

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted January 31, 2006 CMS Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Gee, maybe I should read an issue. I keep not sending in the renewal cards and they keep sending it to me. I looked over the first couple I got, decided it was about something that didn't interest me, and now I just throw them away without even looking at the table of contents. If I have to read any more magazines, I'd need to start taking stronger laxitives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a funny man Mr. Rivers. I have not been feeling well today but that made me laugh. Thanks. And I might ad, I`ve been reading a lot of trade mags today.

I have learned more from that mag than any other. I forgot about Tape Op (probably because I haven't gotten one in ages, and I did resubscribe...time to go paid;) ). Excellent mag. SOS also rocks because of the customizable e-subs. I think you can go as low as 3 months, and that's only like $13 or so last I checked. What I really like about Recording is that they really focus on the basics. I've learned alot from them, too, but I admit I haven't bought or read an issue in about 6 months.Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ernest Buckley Posted February 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2006 Recording was a great mag when I first got into recording which was in 1991 and back then the mag was called Home and Studio Recording. Yes I too learned a lot. If I had to rate them, I would put them in this order: SOS REMIX EM TAPE OP EQ I can`t include Recording because I no longer read it. Not because I don`t like it, I just find the others more interesting and more on my level. Whether thats higher or lower I don`t know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mwestenberg Posted February 2, 2006 Members Share Posted February 2, 2006 OK, after that pic I have a hard time:D remembering what I was gonna say; oh yeah, I got the free industry issue of Remix too and quite frankly it does nothing for me. I'm not in that scene and get the info I need elsewhere. Yeah it looks nice, but , ehhhh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted February 2, 2006 Members Share Posted February 2, 2006 I like Remix a lot, it does have the right vibe. I look forward to each issue. But I was always sorry that CMP didn't know what to do with Extreme Groove, which was a pretty kickass DJ magazine during its brief existence. However, it was truly a DJ mag -- Remix is more generalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
