A lot of what they do at TapeOp is geared to people who do this for a

living, but it's almost always from a ground-up approach.  They interview

a lot of small studio owners who started recording with a Fostex 4-track

and just kept going, and they're slanted towards people trying to do this

onthe cheap.  (Unlike, say, Mix.)
They occasionally have DIY articles (this month has a mod for Oktava

ribbon mics), and drool over the same unattainable gear as the rest

of us :)
Sure, they're focusing on people doing this for a living, but it gives

me a chance to find out what people who know more about this stuff than

I do handle things.  I've learned how to record drums with 3 mics,

how to mic a guitar amp, and how to deal with click tracks.  Mix would

never deign to stoop to that level.  (I've always thought that Mix

should have a note on the cover "You must have 24 channels or more to

buy this magazine.")
