TapeOp is the best free recording advice you're likely to find. To tell the truth, I haven't really used their web site much. It's the free magazine that I really look forward to.  Every two months, I get a collection of knowledgeable gear reviews, interesting interviews, hardware hacks and recording techniques. Best of all, it's free. You can sign up for a subscription here.  I cannot stress how useful this magazine is. It's run by people who love music. That love shines through in the care and attention put into the layout and editing. Even the advertising is generally useful. If you're interested in the art and science of recording, treat yourself and subscribe now. I'll elaborate on TapeOp in future posts. For now though, I just wanted to throw this nugget up here. Every page I've read in the latest issue has been great. Ok, back to the mag.
