On the cover this month is Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2. We ask whether, with its many new features such as audio import, it is the world’s best soft synth.
We talk to Pete Keppler about mixing live sound for David Bowie, NIN and Katy Perry; we interview Slaves producer Jolyon Thomas; and in our video this month we find out from German producer Moses Schneider about adding character to drums and much more.
We bring you in-depth reviews of the Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Series modules, Genelec’s unusual 8351A active nearfield monitor, the AEA Ribbon Mics Nuvo N8 ribbon mic, the dbx Professional Products 676 tube channel strip and the Dreadbox Erebus analogue synthesizer.
On top of that, we check out products from Audio-Technica, Arturia, Synchro Arts, JBL, Tracktion, Novation, IK Multimedia, UVI, Roland, Waves Audio, CME, TC Electronic, Editors Keys, JZ Microphones, Output, Big Fish Audio, Drumforge, and more.
We also have the regular DAW workshops, Notes From The Deadline and Studio File, which this month visits Romaphonic in Buenos Aires.
Tablet editions are now available worldwide, as is the UK/Europe print edition. The USA print edition will be available next week and certain other territories may have to wait longer for the physical version due to shipping.
