The best thing about this magazine is the free software. I have a few staples in my collection that I got fork the mag. 2nd, the articles help a lot, 3rd would be the samples that are provided. Amazing value, couldn't recommend it enough for anyone that uses a computer to make music. Show more

Computer Music, Rocks! Subscribe now!

Gotta love how a magazine I've kept up with for some time has completely ruined the experience for their readers. Now an entire library of issues is rendered worthless because the app refuses to download them. I see them putting a LOT of promo into buying their back catalog. But that is entirely useless if you can't read them... Show more

I shouldn't have updated.

Can't beat the value. Fantastic way to start a sample library and some really great VST's

If you are wondering why this app has a good rating, it's because they are asking people in app to provide a rating, and then only if a high rating was given they forward you to the App Store. Show more

1- Quality instruction. This mag has the most educational resources I've ever seen from a magazine. There are tutorials, downloadable DAW files, and detailed videos that ensure you've got a grasp of the concept. 2- Free monthly downloadable effects and instruments. Just go to their site and punch in the information to receive monthly goodies. 3- Advanced content. I was certainly expecting to see articles about how the filter works or compression... Did not expect stereo imaging. Wow! Grab it now. It's worth it. Show more

I love Computer Music Mag - it's got great articles for all levels of knowledge and experience with great free sound packs and plugins, easy to understand tutorials, additional videos, gear and software reviews for all kinds of equipment and industry features that keep me in the loop (no pun intended) - and of course great profile articles on artists working in many diverse genres I love or will grow to love via CM exposure. I actually subscribe to the print and digital mag so that I can have the hard copies to refer back to - I have read and learned from them since I was just cutting my (sawtooth) teeth (lol) back in the 2000s. Now as a studio owner an company founder, as well as a music producer and audio engineer, I still look forward to getting my digital and eventually print copy of CM every month (my only complaint is that as someone who lives in LA, I end up getting the print mag a few weeks after the digital has been out and is already read through on my iPad and iPhone - but that's okay because I still get to anticipate its arrival like a school kid waiting on NatGeo or Highlights...thanks CM staff...and see u at NAMM at the end of the month! Cheers! Show more

I've been reading Computer Music for many years. There's always more to learn in any discipline and Computer Music is always reliable as a compendium of tried & true techniques and the cutting edge of technological advances. Much preferred over its American counterparts (and if you've taken the time to read this, you likely know which magazines I mean). Five stars well earned. Show more

I've been reading Computer Music for over a decade and it's the best way to learn new techniques for songwriting and music production. Including tutorials, product reviews, and a helpful Q&A section. I recommend musicians new and skilled to read Computer Music every month. And thanks to the ipad version, I now have access to hundreds of issues without taking up space in my apartment. Show more

This is the best music magazine that i ever read! Great articles about music making and reviews of plugins/hardware/sample packs, all with great downloads and very nice videos! Get it now!!!!

Great application for someone like me that has the ability to learn new tricks! ?

It's not a bad app¿ I just have some problem downloading my mags and have to view them on the purchase screen. I don't have to buy them again so that a good thing!!!!¡ Show more

Check out the Cooking Light app, now! While not perfect, there one thing that sets this app millions of miles above the rest. FULL PAGE SAMPLES!!! Because it doesn't have the micro-view offered by Zino and other Newsstand apps you can actually SEE what an issue offers. You almost want to buy every issue, matter of fact I'm getting a subscription! Imagine-FX, Guitar Techniques, Official Xbox Magazine, Zino and Future Publishing, pay attention and see how it's done right. Bravo Cookling Light Magazine! Great mag in the stores, but the jury is still out with the app. The previews for issues you can get are way to small to see what is being offered. The least they could do is make the cover and the tale of contents bigger. Come on, do you want me to buy more or not? So what's wrong with showing a proper sized preview? Show more

Sure I can frequent all the forums and watch videos on YouTube but the writers are direct and unbiased. Most of video tutorials I find online are long winded and saturated with opinion and sarcasm. There is always some new nice vst and vsti and instructions on how to use them. Then there's the loops. A nice fat pack of tracks to get the creative juices flowing. When ever I find myself spinning my wheels and not able to get the music to flow through me, I pull out an issue of CM, start reading, break out a loop disc, start trying out the effects on the loops, play my keyboard with the new synth and before long I have something to work with. Thank you CM. Show more

Some videos won't play if they play there's no audio .... THE VIDEOS ARE THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS MAGAZINE

UPDATE Sept. 6, 2015: First of all the quality of the content hasn't changed - editorially the magazine is the same. What has changed is the app. It's getting slower, fatter, more bloated, and frankly just worse with each and every update. It feels like it's due to just sloppy programming and development. It's just slow now and kind of leaves you feeling like a crash is always just around the corner, always. There is also the "New Issue" indicator dot which is permanent now and annoying. Yes, even if every issue has been read, it displays the indicator. OLD REVIEW: "To Haukur & Memphidelity" You're both absolute morons. The app IS free, were you charged anything for downloading it? More importantly, did you even bother to read what you were downloading? No, you obviously didn't. Why on earth would CM be completely free to read? The app you downloaded is just the vessel to deliver the content. It clearly explains everything in the description. Yet you give a perfectly good and perfectly functioning app 1 star because of YOUR STUPIDITY. Next time you're in a bookstore, please raise heII because you can't have the mag for free. Idiots. Quit being so "rate happy". Show more

I love Computer Music magazine on the iPad, particularly for the embedded video player. Watching music production tutorials easily inside the magazine instead of only reading them is a huge deal. However, this app is starting to hang while turning pages, takes a really long time to load the startup screen's current magazine details, etc... on my ipad 3. According to recent tablet sales figures, most people, myself included, do not plan to update their tablets anytime soon. Please make sure the latest app updates work well with older iPads. It's a magazine: page loading should be snappy and responsive to make for a leisurely experience. Show more

It love?

Must read for all home studio producers.
