Just having a flick through now, Photek interview and Liquid DnB features are looking pretty sweet

[Electric_Head]

I need to go visit the local CM pimp.

[wub]

Samples are looking a bit meh; the Vengeance selection just seems to be a sampler from the packs I've already purchased, and the ULTIMATE DRUM samples...well, not like I need any more drum samples with all the GoldBaby packs I've brought recently


Photek interview is wicked, if a little short. Not had a chance to check the Toddla T masterclass yet, and the Liquid DnB section is spot on. Feel like taking the rest of the day off and going home to knock out some 170bpm stuff

No, we have a WH Smiths. It's like a Barnes & Noble, but with fewer books and more children stealing things.

That is so true haha.

Only picked up last months a few days ago, first I've bought. Enjoyed it, good read for me anyway. Will pick up this one and looking to get the mastering issue after I've been through this one.

[Basic A]

Barnes n Noble dont stock it.

[fragments]

For the US Folks, Borders stocks Computer Music and Future Music.

[bassinine]

Find a books a million in the states, they stock it - although they might get the new issues a bit later than the uk does.



Oh, jr. It's in teh plastixxxccsszzz.

[.onelove.]

Toddla T masterclass looks interesting

[RandoRando]

HMMM, borders is like 40 miles, i wonder if its cheaper to drive down there everytime i want a new issue and buy the mag by itself, or just subrscibe for overseas shipping

[BevOh]
