HEADS-UP Upcoming Changes to REPLICA Access

Official SOS Announcement: 12 September 2025

1. Exciting News! Our REPLICA MAGAZINE is evolving this year and offering new functionality, a new platform, along with new access restrictions. Preview at issuu.com/soundonsoundmag

2. The latest Digital Edition is still bundled with a paid-for SOS Subscription or a registered Industry/Education Sound On Sound Subscription.

3. Free Replica readers will have restricted access to the current issue.

4. Enjoy special Introductory Discounted Digital Subscriptions during the transition, exclusively for our loyal REPLICA readers.

Stay tuned to SOS NEWS and check your email for further updates!

Paying for a Digital Subscription helps SOS continue to offer the world's best Music Technology / Audio Recording independent hardware and software Reviews, plus it keeps valuable services like the SOS Forum discussion groups and SOS Readers' Adverts FREE for every site visitor's benefit.

Paid-up SOS Digital Subscribers are the lifeblood of the publication, and benefit from so much more than FREE users.

For example:

  • FREE reading of the REPLICA is being phased out.
  • Digital Subscribers get a monthly Full Issue PDF added by us to your MY ACCOUNT > DOWNLOADS area.
  • Unlock Web Articles from the newest issue and all previous 5 months (and access regular Bonus online-only content that never appears in Print).
  • Print the magazine Web articles - no printing is allowed for REPLICA free readers.
  • 4 different ways to instantly access the magazine article content and advertisements across iOS, Android and Desktop without waiting for the print magazine to arrive in the post.
  • BONUS! 5 Device Installs - SOS Digital Subscribers can install the SOS Mobile & Tablet App on a maximum of 5 devices (any mixture of iOS/Android).

The Genesis of the SOS REPLICA EDITION

  • The page-flip browser version of SOUND ON SOUND, known as the REPLICA, was created during the pandemic in 2020 to enable our global non-Subscriber readers (who were prevented by governments from visiting their local newsagent/bookstore during COVID lockdowns) to continue reading their most-loved music recording techology 'source of truth' every month.
     
  • Over 12,600 readers signed up in its first week alone in May 2020, and many over-joyed SOS fans contacted us and told us how they loved reading the magazine in this format -- on large desktop monitors or tablets the REPLICA (and its DIGITAL SUB version) is a gorgeous experience.
