Mix Magazine is the recording industry's answer to "People" magazine.... and EQ is the recording hobbyist's version of "People" magazine.
Your call.........

TapeOp is pretty nice also...

They both kinda' suck. EQ is starting to suck a lot less, though. Love the Brian Wilson article in the latest issue. Some of the guys on the Tapeop board were just talking about this very thing the other week.

definitely TapeOp. Mix and Eq are kind of like TapeOp "Lite."

well, "recording" or something?
Yeah, I vote for Recording and Electronic Musician. I HAVE read EQ and Mix, but all of them ended up in the trash pretty quickly.

Good Mag, but it costs too much to buy in the states.

Hey, which one talks about what so-and-so engineer used this-or-that mic/pre-amp/widget on such-and-such album? I recently read an article (don't recall the mag) that said Paul Rodgers used an SM57 for vocals on some project. I like that kind of stuff.

It's excellent. But will you run you $60. I stopped buying most US recording mags and mainly focus on SOS and TapeOp. But I did pick up a subscription to EQ for $15, but I'm not that impressed with it. The articles and reviews in SOS are typically much longer and the interviews are good.

TapeOp is perfect for musicians because it's free.
Helps relieve some of the pain of being a starving artist.

I think EQ suits the average user of this forum best.
Mix & Sound On Sound are great (Paul White is a saviour for sure) but you can tell they're for the serious engineers, based on the gear advertised and complexity of the articles.
Home Recording magazine also taught me alot.

Those engineers must be way more serious than I am... I can't read either of them without getting pretty pissed off at the simplicity of the articles, or the dumbass nature of the advertising. I'm sorry, "hot babes" and professional audio equipment are mutually exclusive... "famous user lists" and my reality are mutually exclusive. Articles spotlighting the latest is "pop hit making engineers" are boring... as are the "we used 'in-ear monitors'" touring articles.
There are only two books I've found that are worth a shit.
"Tape Op"; which is kinda like 'People Magazine' of the not so rich and famous. I've found more cool music from reading about some rather "under the commercial radar" guys in there... sometimes the way they describe going about the recording of the music makes me want to go buy the record they're talking about to see if they're for real or full of shit. I've found some pretty damn cool music that way.
The other book is "Resolution". Very interesting articles that spotlight other stuff that might have passed under the radar.
I have a bunch of friends who write for "Recording" magazines... friends for whom I have quite a bit of respect... but for some odd reason I have never actually seen a copy of the magazine so I can't say one way or the other if it's good or not. I can say from the quality of the engineers they have as authors I would imagine it to be absolutely excellent.
As someone who has been advertising in MIX for 15+ years and checks out a copy of EQ every 6 months or so [to make sure it still sucks]... and has written for both MIX and EQ... lemme say that if the subscription wasn't free I wouldn't be getting my money's worth.
Peace.

Thakns for the heads up on Resolution.
"Complexity" was definately the wrong word to choose in my last post. I was trying to say good or bad they're not for me.
I understand and use the articles, so they must be pretty elementry for the big fish.

Subscibed to Resolution some time back after leafing through a mates copy. Pisses all over all the other UK magazines from a high height IMO. Plus their site was down when I was trying to subscribe, so I emailed them. They got back to me by phone a day or so later, apologized for the inconveniance, and let me go through the subscription process there and then with their sultry voiced secretary...
