No, their goal is to sell advertising. Some of these mags give away the
subscriptions to boost the eyeballs so the advertisers have big numbers to pay
for.

_magazines_!"

And it happens.

Speaking of this subject....

When i saw the thread about the RNC sales numbers, can anyone wonder why the
magazines and advertisers are catering to the home/project studios these days?

And that's in perspective against FMR's very low magazine advertising
effort and low company profile. (At least they got some pro in their
profile.) But I imagine the numbers for some other pieces of kit are
even more impressive, thought the gear might not be so impressive.
Several somebodies must have sold at least one of something to go with
each of hundreds of thousands of ADAT's, etc.
