Advantages: very interesting, free software on the CD's

Disadvantages: sometimes aimed towards experts

Well, it is for me, and im sure it is for a lot of other musicians out there. Computer Music is a relatively new magazine as it is a relatively new subject that it explores. For all of you musicians out there, the PC is a great tool for making music and in my opinion, Computer Music is a good way to learn how to get into this. Theres also a new mag called Digital Music Maker which anyone reading this might be interested in.
Give it a go!

Update
--------
Magazine contents:
Well, one of the features I like most is that it includes a Buyers Guide that guides you as to the programs worth getting, and those to avoid. It not only features software, but different soundcards, sound modules and speakers, among other things.
The magazine has several sections:

News- Of course, it starts with a news section which goes over recent events and new pieces of gear. This is quite an interesting section.

Tutorials - Every month there are a couple of tutorials which are aimed at different skill levels. I find these a bit advanced usually but if your quite into computer music, you may find these useful. They usually cover how to use different pieces of software, either new famous pieces of software, or those given away on the cover discs.

Features - These vary, covering all kinds of subjects, rangeing from getting your music online and making money online to What are REX files and Remixing.

Reviews - This is a VERY useful section, going through lots of new software which I find very useful to read. If you're considering getting any new software, check this out first. It gives me ideas and the reviews are accurate.

There's also a new begginers section called Start-up with tips, FAQ's, a glossary and short software reviews. Reader questions are also covered here, as well as in another seperate section for more advanced musicians.

I hope with this more detailed review, you get a better understan
ding and if you're interested then either buy the magazine or reply here. I'll try and help you more if you want.
