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.
A lot of what they do at TapeOp is geared to people who do this for a
living, but it's almost always from a ground-up approach. They interview
a lot of small studio owners who started recording with a Fostex 4-track
and just kept going, and they're slanted towards people trying to do this
onthe cheap. (Unlike, say, Mix.)
They occasionally have DIY articles (this month has a mod for Oktava
ribbon mics), and drool over the same unattainable gear as the rest
of us :)
Sure, they're focusing on people doing this for a living, but it gives
me a chance to find out what people who know more about this stuff than
I do handle things. I've learned how to record drums with 3 mics,
how to mic a guitar amp, and how to deal with click tracks. Mix would
never deign to stoop to that level. (I've always thought that Mix
should have a note on the cover "You must have 24 channels or more to
buy this magazine.")
