ABOUT TIMED ACCESS

RECORDING ENGINEER'S QUARTERLY^{^{^TM}}

STARTING WINTER 2002

FROM THE EDITOR, February, 2002

about "timed access"

When I started Recording Engineer's Quarterly more than 5 years ago I had a commitment to the readers to keep it a free magazine as long as possible. Because of this and because of the quality of content that we post, we have regular readers and good numbers. We are working to keep it a free publication and still bring in enough dollars to pay for the space and the bandwidth charges to stay alive.

Our approach, starting this year, is to reward our regular readers with even more. You will be seeing many articles that are available to registered readers for a limited time. Our parent, Alexander Magazine, will be publishing technical articles each issue that can normally only be accessed by paid subscribers. Access to registered REQ subscribers will be granted for a short period. As soon as the next publication date the articles are reset to "paid subscriber only" status. With this system regular readers will get access to in-depth articles at no charge.

We, of course are trying to entice you into become a paid user. We have the following services available at this time:

Recording Institute Of Detroit Pro Audio Specialist Theory Study

Alexander Magazine Advanced Training Subscription
