Sure, I've seen EQ, Recording and Mix magazines.
EQ and Recording, I probably glanced at a few times on the newsstand, but never bought one. It probably didn't excite me too much, not that they're bad mags, or anything, I'm neutral on that.
Mix magazine, definitely is a pro-studio level mag, an "industry" mag. I've seen quite a more few Mix magazines, than the others, and I have a pretty good feel of what's in Mix. It's a gigantic, highly technical magazine, but the home user might tend to burn out on Mix, because it showcases all the gear that's usually way-way out of the reach of the common home recording enthusiast.
I picked up Home Recording magazine, I guess, primarily for the Frampton home-studio article.
-You may think Home Recording mag is 'sucky' or something, but I don't necessarily agree. I think this recording mag is as 'sucky' as the other ones, 'cause these mags are basically a vehicle to push the latest products, which BTW, I'm no big fan of. I'm a vintage reel analog home recording enthusiast, and theres virtually no mag that caters directly to my specific interests.
I don't feel the need to ogle over the latest portable digital workstation, or read reviews of the latest DAW software.
That's just not where my head's at.
I like when I can find general recording discussions in these mags, and not the product-specific stuff, necessarily.
-Hey, I just picked up this one Home Recording mag recently, and I typically don't follow those mags. I did follow them, years ago, but I basically got burned out on them, for the reasons listed above.
