[edit] History

The magazine was launched in 1985 on the UK Channel 4 television programme, The Tube. At the time of its launch, text for the magazine was edited on BBC Model B computers and pages were physically pasted together with wax^[1]. The modern magazine is full-colour throughout and led the way in using colour as much as possible through its pages when other magazines used colour only for the front cover and special features^[2]. In August 2004^[3], the magazine, primarily aimed at the recording studio market and the home recording enthusiast, launched a live sound supplement.
