tdbajus - Sorry man, this was a Europe only product this time. This particular design will never be done again in these colours but we may do another run in different colours next year or perhaps a different design that may or may not be available to the US also. We'll see! jokan - What country are ...

Re: New tape op T-Shirts

Has anyone received one yet? I need to know when should I start to hunt for a postman. If you haven't got them by now you should start looking out for the postman, they were collected by the mailing company on the 7th so you should have them any day now depending on your location, any postal diffic...

could you do a from the archives on it soon?

Would love to read it!
ROCKY! Hope you're well my friend. I'll get someone to dig it out and if it's not something we can run for some reason I'll email it to you!

I believe that i've just received my 6th free issue, here in the UK. I was under the impression after 6 issues, it requires m to re-subscribe again for a further 6 issues. Correct? If so, where do i re-subscribe? The magazine is great. to be honest, I'd have no problem paying the ?15 if necessary. ...

To reiterate what Larry said the From The Archives articles are extra to the US edition content. Have a look at the front page of the website and you'll see the US cover with less articles listed down the side. We're absolutely not running these articles in place of any new stuff. I think only once ...

As Larry said 100% free in the UK - there have been postal strikes so this issue could be a little late to some areas.

Good call on the UK Subs reference!

The email is unfortunately 100% legit. Postage from the UK to mainland Europe has become far too costly to maintain the free subscription. Postage to the UK is much, much cheaper so it's possible to keep that free. UK subscribers should still be receiving the magazine and should not have got the ema...

Pop the hood, go to your fusebox, swap the blown fuse for any other of the same value. Roll (or button, as the case may be) the window back up and swap the fuse back or keep it if the window is higher priority than the other thing.

You'd have to mic each speaker from exactly the same distance and place - it's not going to work. You know how you get two mics on a guitar cab, shift them a bit and it sounds different - same thing. Chris, I'd just go with the whatever sounds best theory. Get a mono mix - anything, a stereo summed ...

I really should post a pic of the underside of the dashboard. It makes that spagetti that's behind some people's mixers look like good cable management. I mean at least with that stuff you can usually see both ends of the cable. The way I suggested hooking it up above would bypass all of your cars ...

If you haven't gone the pro-route already, ask over at http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/ It's a UK car audio forum with a lot of knowledgeable people - if you let them know what gear you have I'm sure they'll help you out. You should have: +12V and ground to your head unit (stereo) +12V and ground to ...

Naked flames in the studio are not a good look. This screams of a hella lucky, although admittedly amusing, escape!

Dakota's experience is what I'm working with generally speaking but really I'll take as long as I've got whether that's a day a track or half a day for a 4 song demo. I wouldn't work much quicker than the time I have.

I've had this discussion with artists before and I think there's an argument for completely muting all swearwords and that making the listener more interested in finding out what's on the album version. Whether that's checking youtube, downloading or buying the song - they are potentially motivated ...
