Even when you do it professionally, making music should ideally be fun. It’s something that we do with passion and enthusiasm. It’s about creativity and inspiration. Modern studios can be fantastic at facilitating this. With little more than a laptop and a set of monitors, it’s possible to access all the tools you need to make music in any style to a professional standard. But even such a simple setup also has the capacity to get in the way of your creativity. Electronic production gear comes with a lot of potentially workflow-breaking admin, from the need to keep your software and hardware updated, to issues with sync, patching and communication. This issue’s cover feature is all about clearing away those potential blockages and helping you to bring the fun back to your studio setup. This month’s issue has an exclusive interviews with St. Vincent, Jeff Mills, and Luke Slater. Discover the power of analogue synths, perfecting techno kicks, and studio workflow tips.
