Issue 413 of Future Music is out now
By Future Music,
1 day ago
When it comes to electronic music production, there are staple sounds – a house beat, a garage bassline, a DnB break – and then there are those unique and creative sounds you find scattered throughout the best tracks. Distinctive moments that you hear that instantly make you remember the song, or signify it as the work of a specific artist or group.
It’s these sorts of sounds we’re focusing on in this issue’s cover feature. We’ll be exploring effect ideas and processing tips, not with the aim of getting you to recreate a specific sound, but hopefully inspiring something completely fresh, new and distinctive to your style.
