Issue 334 of Computer Music is on sale now

The cover of Computer Music magazine alongside the interface of Infonik RYM2612.

This June we get vocal about vocals. We'll explore some of music history's most ubiquitous voice transformation techniques: from vocoders to the Prismizer effect and hard tuning. We'll also break down exactly how you can recreate some of these effects, with buyer's guides to get you started.

Free Stuff!

This month's free gift from boutique developer Inphonik, the RYM2612, is inspired by a characterful FM synth from classic games console days. Also free is our monthly samples selection, with highlights including The Dub Remix and Chilled Keys packs. And as always, readers get exclusive access to the mighty CM Plugin Suite – our legendary collection of all of the music production software you will (probably) ever need – absolutely free.

People & Places

Our interview subjects this month are Danish house and techno artist Kölsch, who tells us about his stunning new album I Talk To Water, which interpolates work by his beloved late father, and English producer Catching Flies who details the techniques behind new album Tides.

Inspiring Workshops

This month's expert masterclass columns start with our usual exploration of the best of the CM Plugin Suite, this time focussing on drone-making. Next up, in this month's Sound Like masterclass, we're helping you channel the spirit of Kraftwerk's iconic Autobahn. Moving on, our Dance Music Masterclass explores organ and piano in deep house, before our Mix Masterclass rounds things off with a return visit to the topic of EQing, with a handy visual guide to understanding core curve shapes.
