Tapeop is nice too... and it is free, www.tapeop.com

although, at $36 a year, Sound on Sound isn't bad

I would agree Tapeop is very good. Get a free subscription to that magazine, then check sound on sound online and see if it's something you really like. They put a lot of the printed magazine articles online.

SOS is online, but the last 8 or 12 issues requires the esub, which is fifteen quid for six months... ridiculous really, fantabulous mag.

I used to subscibe to Computer Music...but they got less and less in debth and got repeating the same beginners tutorials in each issue.
SOS is definitely more seriouse sound magazine ...lots of great insight in home studio setups and outboard gear as well as some tips on computer production.
What are the other interesting magazines now (online or not) on electronic music production besides Future Music and Computer Music?

I have punted all my other music mag subscriptions. S o S does discuss hardware somewhat more than I use but overall it's still a good read and professionally put together. Really enjoying the Roland history series (but that's just me).

I used to get Tape Op which is incredible if it's still free. They have a no-B.S., DIY punk ethic that runs through it that's refreshing. However when I got it it was mostly the same kind of alt/punk bands recording on old analog 8 tracks. (Actually what everyone seems to do now who can afford it is record on analog, and then move all the files to Pro Tools for editing...)

Future Music, Computer Music and Music Tech occasionally have interesting articles but mostly it is beginner stuff repeated many times. The best reason to occasionally pick up a copy is if the attached CDROMs have any loops or samples that look interesting to you. I have dug a lot of interesting loops and samples out of my collection of those...

As always YMMV

I wasn't expecting so much.

Guess what, yes I subscrived to the paper edition (international)
It's nice that someone learnt his English with sos.
Guess I can improve mine.

Yeah, I wish they had more about the LIVE4.
Guees abe is not seen as the big production sequencers.
