Inspiring Workshops

Do you long for more complex sounds… if only the mechanics of wavetable synthesis didn’t leave you out at sea? This issue we dive deep into this much talked about expressive technique, with our usual range of tutorials and buyers’ guides. And in our monthly column we've got more bite-sized workshops on creating '80s-style synth stabs and how to tame distortion. 

People & Places

Arkansas duo Joan are one of a new crop of guitar-loving acts who are equally at home behind a mixing desk; we sat down with them to learn some of their studio secrets. Meanwhile Ninja Tune remix king Nathan Fake talks two decades of "doing his own thing".
