Sander Verstraten Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Sad news. I used to save to buy the over expensive import copy of the magazine. https://www.musicradar.com/music-industry/i-cant-help-but-wonder-how-much-music-computer-music-has-had-a-hand-in-bringing-to-life-over-the-years-what-a-magazine-computer-music-magazine-to-close-after-25-years-in-print 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 905133 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Quote Sadly, the cost of print has increased substantially in recent years, and it became clear that the best strategy was to consolidate Computer Music's content and spirit into MusicRadar.com, alongside our sister title, Future Music. Meaning that Computer Music's expert opinion and knowledge will continue to live online. If you are a subscriber to Computer Music, please don’t worry – our subscriptions team will be in touch with you directly to confirm that you will be refunded the remainder of your subscription term within 7-10 days of this final issue.

So this doesn’t concern digital editions then ? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I used to advertise my aftermarket Band-in-a-Box styles in Music & Computers, Keyboard, Electronic Musician and a few others. I got 'free' subscriptions as a bonus. But as time went on, they started doing fewer and fewer real articles and subbing covert advertisements for articles. The first sign they were in financial trouble. Eventually they faded away. I learned a lot from them back in the 1980-90s though when I was learning how to make music on my Atari and later PC and Mac computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Music Radar is wrapping up all their remaining print editions. Guitar Player too... GP was the first guitar-related publication I bought, a few months after I got my first electric on Christmas 1984. I knew the name Eric Clapton but I'd never heard him - but that didn't matter. In fact, the only cat I knew in the entire issue was on the back of the magazine (man, I wanted one of those Kramers)... I couldn't read music and there were no tablatures, I barely understood a word of English but even if I could have read the articles, that stuff was beyond anything I could understand... But there were cool pictures. Those mags were quite expensive for little 12 year old me back then. $3.40 plus taxes… I bought a lot of Computer Magazines (the French edition) when I transitioned to digital audio. Those were exciting days - Steinberg had just launched Neon and a little later Model-E, introducing the first VSTi's, but trackers were still going strong. They always came with a bunch of free plugins that I couldn't use because Cakewalk didn't want to implement ASIO and VST and stuck with Direct X. Those were the days... lol It was a great way to learn about software back in those days before the internet became as big as it is.
