Woeful decision by Cakewalk on the hosting platform - and they pay for the privelidge of annoying their customers by having them sign up to yet another account to recieve unwanted advertising?

You don't have to receive advertising. If you want, you can make up an email address - they don't ask for two-step verification or anything. And I'm not sure it's about spamming anyway. The site has banners and sells ads; I think they're trying to be more of a publication-based community, and it wouldn't surprise me that if you got emails, they would be along the lines of "Since you like Tech+Music, we're happy to say that Sound on Sound is now available on issuu" (which it is).
 
I've been browsing the site, and frankly, it's pretty cool. I can't help but think others will find Tech+Music when browsing the site...and they wouldn't find out about us otherwise.
 
In my ideal world this will develop into an actual magazine to which musicians of all kinds want to read. The more readers we have, the easier it is to make that happen 

When do you have time to change your strings and feed the dog, Craig?
 
Mahalo for everything.

Ah good, there's a workaround

Thanks for a great return of the E-zine / Tech+Music 
All the best.

Thought you might say you trained your dog to change your strings. In awe of how much you do. Excellent job Craig. Looking forward to many future editions.

Hi everyone,
 
We're hosting on issuu.com because they make it very easy for people to view the publication on any device - desktop, tablet, smartphone, as well as offering the ability to download and print yourself. Based on our current stats, almost 30% of our readers are reading on a tablet or smartphone.
 
There are a couple of secondary benefits: they make it easy for readers to share publications and articles that they like, and we get analytics to learn more about what people are actually reading and what they aren't - so that we can continue to make it a better publication for everyone. For example - the "You Mix, We Master" sound examples seemed to chart high with readers, which tells me folks are interested in this concept, but probably also interested in hearing more before/after sound examples in general. This is good feedback for us.
 
We pay for the service, which means you should not be bombarded by ads on every page. There are no weird strings or favors or subsidized whatevers as alluded to on the forum.
 
Feel free to PM me if you have other questions, thanks!

Glad to see you made it a sticky, as I think most would agree the previous eZine suffered from poor discovery. Thanks, Alex.

For the record...Alex wanted to make it a sticky when it was introduced, but I wanted to see if there was enough interest to keep popping it to the top of the main page. There was, and now it's a sticky
