So basically you're trying to get free stuff that other people have to pay for. Nice. |

Seems like a good idea to me.
Sharing ,donating mags.
I've got tons of ancient S.O.S. & FM and may need to get rid at some point. |

I tossed a 5yr collection of SOS's back in 2009. Sorta wished I didn't for awhile, but SOS have all the articles in their back issues on the Internet Archive now, so nothing lost really.
I really wish I still had my Audio Technology collection. There were a couple of producers that would do monthly articles on studio technique and the like which were incredibly informative. They too have some of their old articles archived, though they are not as easy to find as the SOS articles.
These days I tend to just read stuff like CDM, Synthtopia, Sonic State, etc, though I do much prefer a magazine to reading a computer screen or (even worse) a phone screen. If only the music tech magazine count was as high as it was in 2000... _________________ Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here |

Derek you reminded me of the Roland blogs. They do tend to revolve around Roland products but do have a good amount of info on may aspects of music creation and production. And each region has it's own blog, just search for "Roland Blog" with your favourite search engine. _________________ Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here |

Some mags are great reference material and some are just advertising material for the most part. I don't know why it took me so long to notice, but I just noticeed last night Ask.Audio is actually a training company, not a music and production site. Suppose that explains the always great reviews they give everything that comes their way.
A week ago I decided to once an for all wrap my head around osc sync and why detuning the two osc's didn't actually create a detuned sound. So I typed "hard sync" into my favourite search engine expecting to get a load of result with nothing to do with audio synthesis and was amazed at the info that came up.
First there is the one page that cleared up oscillator sync straight away: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~eli/papers/icmc01-hardsync.pdf<-pdf which will behave like a download most likely.
Here's another article about hard sync, but a little less techy: http://www.harmonycentral.com/articles/all-about-synthesizer-hard-sync Harmony Central is a great site that's been around forever it would seem.
Then there's this site: https://learningmodular.com/ The name would infer it's a modular resources site, which it is, but there is a lot that can be learnt about non-modular synths from the site. Check out the articles before the training.
This article is great just for a general refreshing of synthesis: http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/307/week5/bandlimited.html
I've found that even though I've been playing with synthesis for three decades, I can still learn new things by revisiting old topics. _________________ Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here |
