Electronic Sound 129 2025

English | 100 pages | PDF | 46 MB

BRIAN ENO and BEATIE WOLFE are gearing up for the release of their third collaboration of 2025, so it’s fantastic to have them on the cover of the latest Electronic Sound. We’re bundling the magazine with a lush purple vinyl ENO & WOLFE seven-inch too, one side of which features a track previously only available in Japan. Brian Eno’s partnership with composer and conceptual artist Beatie Wolfe, who Vice called “a musical weirdo and visionary”, has already given us two albums this year. Another is coming out next month. All three records – ‘Luminal’, ‘Lateral’ and the forthcoming ‘Liminal’ – blend dreamy, mesmeric and opulent ambient atmospherics with snatches of hushed Americana. The results are alluring and fascinating, as is our interview with the pair, which sees them talking about everything from the joys of hauling abandoned speakers out of skips to the very idea of creativity itself. Exploring the zone where music, art, science and technology come together, it’s a perfect cover story for Electronic Sound.

275+ MULTI KEY PiGMENTS PRESETS & 1,000+ SYNTH SOUNDS

WHAT ARE MULTI KEYS “Multi Keys” are presets for the Pigments VST Plugin that use different samples for different keys, so every note sounds rich and natural. Instead of stretching one sound across the whole keyboard, we record multiple variations of the same patch and map them to specific keys. This gives you higher quality and more realistic results when playing.

Metal Mania EZX SOUNDBANK

P2P | 09 December 2024 | 12.89 GB

In this EZX, drummer Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth) and engineer Chris Rakestraw (Megadeth, Deftones, Parkway Drive) have teamed up to bring you the epitome of a metal expansion for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3. It features three unique kits, a wealth of snare drums and kicks as well as over 30 cymbals – all flawlessly captured in one of the world’s most famed studios for hard rock and metal: Studio A at One On One in Los Angeles. Massive-sounding, warm and vibrant but at the same time just as tight and aggressive, this room has all the qualities to move air in a way that makes it seem custom-built particularly for hard-hitting metal drums. This goes to show on the plethora of defining records that were recorded here, some of which include the likes of Megadeth’s “Rust in Peace,” Metallica’s “…And Justice for All” and “Black Album,” Dream Theater’s “Awake” and Testament’s “The Ritual.” Each of the three drum kits included represents its own niched sound. One covers Dirk’s current touring setup, one is from his tenure in the band Soilwork and one was handpicked to offer a completely contrasting tone and vibe. All in all, you’ll have a balanced but eclectic palette of kits encompassing anything from the loud, aggressive and punchy to the big, low and warm.

Underground EZX SOUNDBANK

P2P | 08 December 2024 | 2.43 GB

Capturing the raw essence of how drums sound when recorded using a minimal vintage-meets-modern setup in a cramped basement studio, this expansion for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 presents arguably the most unpolished, gritty and tangible kits you’ll ever hear. Inspired by punk, hardcore, metal, indie, psychedelic rock, kraut and all peripheral offshoots of the underground scenes of the early ’90s until today, this is an eclectic collection of drums that sounds as far from the beaten path you possibly can imagine. If you’re looking for an EZX that is loud, decadent, angry and all-around fuming of unpretentious, nonchalant in-your-face energy, this one’s for you. The Underground EZX was recorded by Refused drummer David Sandström and engineer/producer/mixer Martin “Konie” Ehrencrona at the famed Studio Cobra – a small, low-ceiling basement studio in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden. From this dungeon-like place – brimming with tape machines, old tube gear and vintage instruments – Konie has been churning out productions bursting with his signature stripe of analog character for the likes of Refused and Tribulation, to name a few. With a collection of David’s own drums, the studio’s and those of bands and friends on the Stockholm scene, they made sure this EZX had four distinctly unique kits, each bringing its niched sound and vibe to the project. Expect a broad palette of scarred, road worn and tried-and-true kits all put through the paces on anything from big festival stages and underground club stages to a wealth of albums of all styles.
