“So we did it! It only took 20-odd years…” This issue’s cover feature has been decades in the making or (if I’m to be slightly less dramatic) it’s an article that I’ve had in the back of my mind since we launched this magazine many years ago. The concept is simple: to show you how to do as many music production processes as possible, all of them utilising plugins from the Computer Music Plugin Suite.

But that’s not stopped some companies releasing some great products so here are three of the best, including a sad goodbye to an iconic orchestral series… First up, news of a new G-Force plugin. The Gear of 2021 winners (for OB-E) don’t usually release many plugins so are really spoiling us with two in two years. The M-Tron MkII is, as G-Force say, “a celebration of an instrument…

As you probably know, it’s totally unlike us to abuse space in our news section to plug something that we’ve done, especially on the very first page of it. But here’s news of The Music Producer’s Guide To Synths that we might well have had a hand in.
