My brother and I grew up devouring IM&RW every month, and the consumer version of Studio Sound (that we didn't know existed, being a trade B2B mag not sold in newsagents) which was edited by the great Richard Elen and called Sound International . Then we found a copy of Electronics & Music Maker in ...

My first sight of SOS was when a friend gave me a couple of copies, which I found very interesting. That was late 1990s or early 2000s (I don't think there was the website at that time). 👍 Actually, the first website was created by me in Netscape Gold in 1998. Then my brother's web design company Co ...

I have a hazy memory of going on a Yamaha press launch junket to Germany in the early part of 1985. On the bus to/from the airport there was...either Paul/Ian or both Gilbys who were talking about the new magazine that they were planning to launch. i have to thank them for the years when I got a ...

.. I kept every copy for many years and in the days before the internet they turned into a kind of Encylopedia Technologica which I would refer to when I wanted to know about some piece of gear. It was a great resource. It still is! - Forum Admin No, it all went into the recycling bin. Sorry for ...

Hi Forum Members and Guests. As you may be aware, SOUND ON SOUND celebrates its 40th Anniversary PRINT edition with the coming November cover month (on sale 23rd October 2025). I'm keen to gather some Quotations from anyone who cares to offer them up in this topic, which we can potentially use in ...

I'll go ask our Web Guru when he returns from holiday next week.

I'd agree with that. Even for a channel the size of RB's you have to go to where your audience is - otherwise he'd just have a website. Where YouTube wins, of course, is that many people like me watch it on their big living room TVs. Vimeo does not have any TV App deals that I know of. In hindsight ...

Hmmm. I'd have to go with out of control bot. I think he's right that its probably a sub contractor that's been hired to do some kind of copyright infringement auditing - but my guess is that subby has used an AI tool or something which has latched on to RB. If it's vexatious, he could probably sue ...

That's great to hear Martin - and I know personally of others doing likewise.

Long may you continue to find appealing new stuff (as opposed to 'appalling new stuff' on eg. Spotify).

Any news on this one please? Just searched the Play Store and nada. My sub is up for renewal and while this isn't a deal breaker, it does suck that a platform as widespread as Android isn't supported. Sorry no feedback from anyone at Google to help us resolve our Android app issues. I will ...

I'm less keen than others on the PreSonus controllers. The biggest disadvantage for me is that while there are plenty of faders there are nowhere near enough knobs/encoders. So it occupies a good chunk of desk space without giving me what I need. I'd rather have, say, a touchscreen for channel ...

In my experience it has caused a near catastrophic power overload.

Hi Robin and welcome to SOS Forum.

Would you care to expand on your comment so we can all learn from your experience?

What DAW and control surface will work best together, hopefully fully featured, and out of the box with minimal customization? Ideally, I'd like multiple faders and the ability to use the faders, pan, solo/mute, automate and transport. Beyond that, anything would be a bonus. I agree with Wonks here ...

Good to see a new SoS product, but it's absolutely not for me, and I'm certain that I am not the target audience. This is not a critique, just feedback. Now for the target audience, younger by some 40+ years than me, I can see how the offering could indeed be useful. Best of luck with it all. MeJ ...

Well I've bought in. Also I'm quite happy to put a little more money in the direction of a company of which I think so very highly. CC Thank you very much Chris for believing in this service.

At SOS we use Gmeet, and Zoho Meeting, plus most clients use Zoom.

If you're unsure whether phantom might be on the line ALWAYS connect via a DI box (a passive type is fine in this application) or line isolation transformer box. In fact, in a live sound situation I'd always a DI box or line iso transformer box anyway because its too easy for someone to switch on ...

I've just re-subscribed to SOS after several years away and I have to admit, the lack of a working android app is a real disappointment to me, as the app made the SOS experience slick and easy when I subscribed before. Having to download PDFs everywhere is not great :( . Fingers crossed you get ...
