I totally agree Buscis2. You hit it right on the head.
I also subscribe to these two unmentionable "journals" along with a couple of the British ones, and, in addition, to several computer music and music production publications coming out of Britain. I am not British, but, pound for pound, after many years of reading this stuff I have to say that the Brits say more with fewer words and get to the point and provide value in the process. I mean they actually tell you what something SOUNDS LIKE! The quality of writing in the US has sunk to new unfathomable lows. It is a sad reflection of our society and of our refusal to recognize the value in our public educational systems. Disqualifer: I have no professional connection to any trade publication, either here or abroad.
Anyone from Agon want to start a better audio publication with me? At least one that raises the quality bar to the level of the Brits? Of course, in the US it's ALL about advertising and marketing. And that's sad because the real function of good marketing is to provide VALUE to CUSTOMERS. Something some US trade publications seem to have forgotten.
Non-compensated reviewing is why we are all here at Agon, where REAL value in better understanding and enjoying our interests takes place, daily.
