Forge a new sonic identity this month with our inspiring sound design guide. We offer step-by-step guidance on how to get the most from your synths, build awe-inspiring textures and give you up-to-the minute advice on the tools of the trade.
Free Stuff!
This month's free gift is a copy of IK Multimedia's Tape Machine 80, an authentic emulation of the highly regarded Studer 80 Series of analogue recorder (and part of IK Multimedia's wider Tape Machine collection). It’s great for anyone trying to imbue their tracks with the flavour of classic studio recordings. Readers also get access to our usual bevy of free sample packs, with this month's titles focusing around a club setting, with Drops & Breakdowns and Tech House Toolkit packs.

People & Places
Our interview section this month features artists like Moonilena – aka Marlena Salonen – who tells us how she found human emotion and magic in even the driest corners of signal processing theory. We also sat down with MPG Rising Star award nominee Jess Camilleri, who gave us an insight into her inspiring studio career, and heard about experimental artist Kit Grill’s forays into using his own vocals for the first time. On the developer side of things, Mattias Häggström of Reason Studios muses on what fuelled the newly updated DAW’s trailblazing legacy.
Inspiring Workshops
This month's workshops get off to a hair-raising start, as Andy Jones dissects the power of the Prodigy – and how they made their epic track No Good (Start the Dance). Next up, Sara Simms continues the hit-making tips with her exploration of the dance pop genre; before Jon Musgrave rounds things off with a look at dynamic EQing and how it can give your music the impact it deserves.
