As a band, Dutch trio Noisia tick a lot of boxes for us here at FM. Their approach to music making is both technically impressive and highly creative. Whether writing their own tunes, remixing other artists or soundtracking video games, they blend cutting-edge studio technology with classic hardware to create a sound that is massively forward-thinking but also steeped in influences from electronic music's rich history.
So naturally, when they offered us the chance to visit them in their amazing studio for an exclusive look at the making of their first full album in six years, we dropped everything and caught the next flight out to the Netherlands. Pick up the issue to see them in action and discover how they make their unique sound.
In the spirit of remaining cutting-edge, we've also got a thoroughly modern dynamics tutorial in this issue. We'll show you how the latest tools and techniques can help you make your tracks tighter and more vibrant than ever.
