They should do a pdf-version for us overseaers. 

TapeOp looks like a nice magazine. However from glimpsing over their
webpage and from reading the term "pro audio" here, it always seems to
involve some kind of recording business. To me, "pro audio" is much
more than just mastering and recording. A Pro is someone, who makes a
living out of something. Composers, who use Linux, like Orm Finnendahl
or Fernando, are as much Pro Linux Audio as R Parker is, as are
video/sound artists using Pd on Linux etc. There already are quite a
lot of people doing such stuff on Linux using free software. 

To me people sometimes seem to put too much emphasis on recording
applications, which actually is only a part of what makes Linux Audio
tick. 

I would even say, that more people are making a living from Linux
Audio currently, who are not doing studio work with it at all. An
example would be the IEM in Graz, a university institute which also is
creating Pd environments to be used in performances of modern music
and operas in Austria and elsewhere. They are *very* professional in
their kind of business.

Ciao
