abacab Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Page 118 has an interesting DAW workshop article regarding some workarounds to get Studio One to talk General MIDI. IMO, it still looks like Cakewalk with the aging TTS-1 GM synth (or external synth) is a better option for that!

There's probably a formula somewhere that sets advertising rates per pair of registered eyeballs, regardless whether they are paid readers or not. The print subscription rates probably cover the cost of ink, paper, and shipping for the hardcopy version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) The magazine industry is slowly dying. Most recent magazines I subscribe to are at least 50% filler or more. I don't get on quite as well with e-subs and for the longest time I subscribed to the paper version of SOS. I then went to e-sub. Better than nothing but never as good as a hard copy of that magazine. I don't know who takes the pics and does their printing, but it's amazing compared to most other magazines, almost like a small bound book instead of a magazine. Like so many other things though, this has probably changed. Edited July 21, 2022 by Tim Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recent magazines I subscribe to are at least 50% filler or more. The magazine industry and the newspaper industry face similar challenges. The advertisers are what have provided the majority of the income for publishing companies for decades. But the internet has been changing that, as more and more advertisers have moved online, looking for clicks. It's been much worse for daily newspapers. Periodical magazines still have the full page, full color, paying advertisements, but they also a have niche readership that is specifically targeted by manufacturers, i.e., music gear in the case of SOS. Have you noticed that in the past few years most of the major newspapers with an online presence have moved their formerly free "content" behind paywalls? Thankfully SOS seems to be doing well enough that they don't need to be entirely dependent on subscription revenue to survive.

Starship Krupa Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I so hate to say it, but as much as I love magazines, and have had so much enjoyment from them over the years, it's probably a format that won't survive in its current form. For hobbyist and professional topics, there's just so much information on the web, it's like drinking from a firehose. As far as current events....big can o'worms.
