MusicTech Focus Magazine User Reviews

Terribly written app, good content

This app still doesn’t support Pro iPads which is not good considering what this is, a magazine reading app.

It is full of bugs, has some really bad UI (clearly not written by someone who has read the Apple Human Interface Guidelines) and is buggy too.

I know a lot of digital magazines use the same toolkit, which is a real shame since those toolkits are very poor quality.

Great mag!

It might be one of the best music technology magazines I've had in a long time. Very informative and very easy to read.

Same info always - takes ages to release new issues

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.

Great Information- bargain price

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!!

Love the app & material, but...

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?

Music tech focus

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

Awesome Mag

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.

Just a pdf

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

Bad update

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...

Very useful!

This mag is very useful for want ever DAW you use.

Needs More Focus

The app works fine, no issues. This review is for the magazine itself. The subject matter is usually well chosen to my liking attracting me to purchase the articles. It seems like I am usually disappointed with the article depth. My understanding is that this mag should be for a more in depth look at techniques. If all the articles are going to consist of 101 content depth such as putting new strings on your guitar and tuning your instrument between takes this mag should be renamed to Musictech 101 and priced accordingly. I will probably continue to purchase select issues as I can usually get one useful tip out of it.

Good Content

Never had a problem. CD content should be downloadable within magazine or a separate area.

Good magazines but...

You need to be able to download the bonus cd online, you shouldn't pay the same price for no cd.

Lots of content but not very deep.

The months that contain the software that I use are very good but I don't need most months because they're either about software that I don't have or on subject matter that I don't need. Also they're very expensive, not compare to the print version but still pretty expensive for a magazine.

Support is horrible thank god the content is worth it

So I've had this app for the past month and bought the logic volume 3. Well today it decided to stop working. Reset the app, ipad and still no luck. Was it too much to request this in a format that wasn't reliant on The Internet? I've bought every mtf magazine in the past few years and decided to try this version. It's awesome when it works but stinks when you can't even open the issue.

They need to sort this out.

Really bad!

This app doesn't work. I would give it zero stars at all.

App Won't Even Open

Need I say more?

Come on..

This is getting so bad. Give me my $20 back or fix this!!!! This is really poor service!

Magazine doesn't work.

I just purchased 5 old issue bundle and the magazine just crashed. Now it doesn't even open up. Should've read the reviews... come on fix this crash issue. Even tried reinstalling the magazine.

Doesn't work since update

Never really noticed a resolution problem on iPhone 4, maybe my eyesight is just bad, but ever since I updated I can't read the issues I bought. It just comes up on a black screen. This really needs to be fixed ASAP
