The CM team of experts has been ultra-busy this month, creating Expert Guides to hone your skills in specific aspects of music production. There’s Scot Solida’s second look at modular sequencing, Dave Clews’s guide to borrowed chords and the guys from Audiotent investigate how to create your own bespoke percussion sounds. They’ve also got a hands-on guide on producing vocals and then creating the best comp from the results. And if you want even more advice from the experts, they have a 10-page masterclass on drum n bass production from Fourward, who dissect one of their own tracks in the magazine and on video. Other stars revealing their studio secrets include Amirali and Parisian producer Uele Lamore.
