Computer Music Magazine to Cease Publication

In a post on Music Radar's website, we're told that this edition will be the last of Computer Music Magazine. Following a similar story earlier in the month with Future Music ending publication - it's clearly a tough time for print media, despite the great heritage and influence they have had on peoples music. The magazine's writing staff has joined MusicRadar

Here is an excerpt from the story:

First launched in 1998, Computer Music's existence was spurred by the giddy excitement about the music production power of desktop computers, then becoming an increasingly popular presence in homes around the world. The momentum built further by the snowballing of home computing, the speed-up of processors and the swelling interest in creating and producing music at home, Computer Music magazine soon became a must-buy for many.

Over its subsequent 25-year lifespan, Computer Music charted the development and evolution of software music-making from its humble beginnings to its omnipresent current state. It inspired many notable artists and producers to pursue their passions and armed its readers with a huge array of free software – most notably the Plugin Suite, an arsenal of tools that stands among the greatest free gifts a print magazine has ever given its audience.

We're sorry to see them go - for many people, Computer Music was a first step into the world of using computers for music - at a time when that was very much a niche market.
