MusicTech Magazine

16 July 2020

The new issue of MusicTech is on sale this Thursday 16th July, and this month we’re waxing lyrical with David and Stephen Dewaele, the one and only Soulwax! The pair talk us through their use of the legendary EMS Synthi 100 to craft their latest record, guide us through their key tech and synths and explain how they are developing the next generation of artists at their Deewee HQ. We also keep a tight watch on our wallets as we highlight the different ways you can create an effective studio with a limited budget and bring you a breakdown of FM synthesis using free plug-in Dexed. In our reviews section we take on the second coming of Akai’s MPC Live, put Novation’s new line of Launchkey controllers to task and test out much more top-of-the-line gear. We’ve also got interviews with production luminary Ed Buller, and the creator of online drum service emilydrums.com, Emily Dolan Davies. I hope you enjoy this jam-packed issue!
