PSNE is getting more interested in live sound, and less in studio recording.

There's also Audio Media, which I sometimes write for. And Resolution. Both 
of those are for the pro-studio market, and free on subscription. 
Subscription requirements aren't particularly stringent. ;-)

SOS is more for the gear anorak and project studio/wannabe market. It has 
pro pretensions, but realistically you won't find the majority of its 
readers spending £50k on a new ProTools rig or £100k to £1M on a new mixing 
desk. There is some pro overlap at the low end with project studio owners 
and freelance programmers and sound designers, but it's not really in the 
same market as AM and Resolution, both of which are more explicitly aimed 
at the high capital outlay high turnover areas of the business.

If I were making a new modular doodad I'd try to sell it to SOS. If I were 
making a new kind of console or some super-expensive outboard I'd sell it 
to the others.

The US also has EQ, Keyboard and... is Mix still going?
