That's the kind of thing I want to read.
Looks like a subscription to 'Recording' is in order. (And a few back
issues.)


Not to speak ill of the hand that feeds me (or more like buys a beer
now and then), but for me, about 50% of the issues of Recording these
days don't have but one or two articles of interest. But some are
nearly 100% worth reading. I suspect that this is true for just about
everyone (and just about every magazine) and we're all looking for
something different. But I'll bet everyone here would love reading
every issue of R/E/P cover to cover. I got ideas for some of my best
articles from going through my old collection.

I would really like to read articles and analysis of more traditional pop
string/brass arranging too. There must be a load of other people out there
who are not scared of a little music theory as well.


Electronic Musician used to have a regular column about theory where
they would take apart a pop arrangement every issue. Maybe you should
write to the editor and ask to have it revived.

'PRS, MCPS, PPL, MU, PAMRA? What are they, and which are essential?'


Hehe! They are all organisations that deal with royalties and things in
the UK.


No wonder I didn't recognize any of them. I know ASCAP, BMI, and CESAC
(but not sure what that stands for [Canadian] so not sure how to spell
it). Generally when there's an article about the business of music, it
has to do with obtaining a copyright, but you never read what to do if
you find that someone has stolen your work (or any success stories of
someone who's been that lucky).
