For every music producer or studio technology enthusiast, the Studio Magazin Archiv is a unique source of a plethora of information on music production and recording equipment. No matter whether it is about studio reports, interviews with recording engineers, tests of recording equipment, market reviews or articles on the nuts and bolts of the trade – everyone who is seriously interested in the subject matter will gain deep insights into music recording techniques back in the days of yore. Even though a lot has changed since then, many contributions are still highly relevant (or have become highly relevant again). An interview, conducted by Amazona to coincide with the opening of the Studio Magazin Archiv, can be found here.
Up to now, all magazines from 1978 to 1986 have been digitized, and more volumes are to follow in the near future.
