I know a lot of digital magazines use the same toolkit, which is a real shame since those toolkits are very poor quality. ### 4/5 — Great mag! *2017-06-18, version 4.9.101* It might be one of the best music technology magazines I've had in a long time. Very informative and very easy to read. ### 2/5 — Same info always - takes ages to release new issues *2016-09-17, version 4.9.89* Not sure if this is part of Future, but you can see they don't spend much time on it, or rather they out their energy on the wrong subjects to release their specials. For the past 3 years you get the same... Learn logic, learn live, the only thing they change is the number of the year. Nothing about other techniques, or daws. In addition, they take ages to release a new issue of the same, again, when it is not logic it's live. I haven't seen an issue on cubase in years. Boring magazine and expensive for what you get. ### 4/5 — Great Information- bargain price *2016-03-12, version 4.9.89* I ALWAYS learn something new and worthwhile from each issue. The "import" newsstand price here in the US is roughly 4-5 times the price of the iPad version. Good deal!! ### 1/5 — Love the app & material, but... *2015-12-25, version 4.9.89* Have to give it one star until they update The app and make the most recent issues available. Why else would I subscribe? The new music tech focus has been out for a couple of weeks now and still not available on the app. What's the deal? ### 5/5 — Music tech focus *2015-02-09, version 4.9.25* By far best music producing mag. Great Ableton articles but also their hardware and virtual instruments, VST's reviews always interesting and in general spot on.!!! Great magazine Thijs ### 5/5 — Awesome Mag *2014-10-07, version 4.9.54* The content provided in these mags is nothing short of excellent. All of the information is useable immediately. I can't think of a better way to stay current on music tech. ### 1/5 — Just a pdf *2014-09-04, version 4.9.54* This is just a converted pdf, too small to read comfortably on the ipad. i am constantly zooming and panning. i generally like the info provided but cant stand reading it on the ipad ### 1/5 — Bad update *2014-06-11, version 4.9.54* Well, this update simply doesn't work. Trying to restore my older purchases crashes the app, as does trying to even open the options (this after trying to reset things by deleting and reinstalling the app a number of times). Great magazine, terrible app... ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2013-09-14, version 4.9.25* This mag is very useful for want ever DAW you use. ## Frequently asked questions about MusicTech Focus Magazine ### What music software does MusicTech Focus Magazine cover?
