I think he used them to build a thin wall in his studio.

Where does sound exist?
Re: 35 Years of SOUND ON SOUND
I’m a more recent student of SOS (only since 2008 I think), but it’s been the source of much of my learning or the signpost to where I need to read more. I’ve never bought anything studio wise (except my reissue Minimoog which I preordered before Gordon said it quacked in the requisite manner) before I’ve read the SOS review and still don’t intend to. The recent addition of podcasts to the output is amazing too, just listened to all of Mike Seniors and they’re sooooo good.
Well done keep up the sterling work and the humour. Both much needed!

Well done SOS.
I've too have been there since the early days & it's taught me pretty much everything I needed to know ever since.
SOS & The Sky at Night are the two guilty pleasures I still look forward to every month!
Have to say the last few issues have been top notch!
Keep up the excellent work

I don't know... I come looking for exciting new developments, and what do I find?

Seriously impressive guys. I'm definitely a new boy to the scene and a lot of what's in the mag goes over my head, but I really appreciate it anyway

I would say in its own way SoS magazine has had an impact upon musicians all around the World.
There's a saying, if you could leave the World a little better than you found it, I would say SoS magazine it's staff it's writers have done this.

Re: 35 Years of SOUND ON SOUND
Thankfully, indeed. What I should have said is that my keyring is significantly more populated than it was when I first picked up a copy of SOS

Re: 35 Years of SOUND ON SOUND
My first SoS purchase from WHSmiths had one of my Synth heroes on the cover.
I recall circling all the gear I wanted but didn't have money for. The fun was in circling what I wanted.
Dreaming about all the gear I saw on SoS, then hopping along to local music shop in Kent to see which they had in stock. I miss those local music shops.
Since then, from 2k onwards, nearly every modern music gear I have purchased, I search SoS magazine and database to read whether it's been reviewed. SoS forums too.
Any gear that catches my fancy that others have reviewed I check to see what SoS thinks of this gear.
If I recall correctly Yammy SY85 was on a front cover, thereafter a few years later I purchased SY85.
I just purchased an Audient ID4 because of SoS views of it.
When I had very little idea of computer music 2002, SoS magazine articles, forums, came to the rescue.
I also like reading SoS for articles on diverse range of music from all around the World.

Re: 35 Years of SOUND ON SOUND
I can’t remember how I came across SOS, my usual magazine was always Home & Studio Recording, I actually bought things on the basis of its reviews, I can remember, an Alesis 1622, and a Midiverb 11, I only bought the magazine for something to read in my shop when I was bored.
After that I started buying SOS when my wife left me, I grabbed it furiously from Sainsbury’s, anything to take my mind off of chucking myself under a bus.
I can’t rember buying anything based on an SOS review, but the depth and knowledge of the reviews was always a guiding factor.
I used to be all over the readers ads, my favourite bit, it was great when they were printed in the magazine.

Re: 35 Years of SOUND ON SOUND
35 years! Amazing. I think my first copies were back in '90/'91 when I was looking for a 'keyboard' and was browsing SoS along with stuff like Music Technology and H&SR – I remember specifically looking at the JD800 and SY22 (only one of which was anywhere near my paltry post-college budget) and ended up with a Juno 6 (still here). But those magazines got me through lunch breaks on the crappy Sat'dy job.
Cheers!
