• Yamaha Creator Pass Adds DAWs, Tutorials, and a $9.99 Starter Plan

  30-06-2026 19:12 via magneticmag.com
  
  Yamaha Music Innovations is expanding Yamaha Creator Pass following its public beta at SXSW, and the update is aimed squarely at a common problem for independent artists: too many tools spread across too many accounts.The platform brings songwriting, production, mastering, distribution, promotion, learning, and partner benefits into a single login. That matters because most newer artists are piecing together their process from a mix of DAWs, sample tools, mastering services, distributor accounts

  30-06-2026 19:39 via magneticmag.com
  
  Apple Creator Studio has received a broad update across Apple’s creative apps, but the most relevant part for music producers sits inside Logic Pro. The new version adds a rebuilt Chord ID system, a new Producer Project, an updated granular mode in Alchemy, and expanded Beat Breaker controls across Mac and iPad.That is the part worth paying attention to. Apple is tightening the area between writing, arranging, sound design, session study, and content creation. For producers who already wor

• Beatport Greenroom Gives Artists and Labels a Direct Handle on Their Profiles, Data, and DJ Reach

  30-06-2026 19:20 via magneticmag.com
  Beatport Greenroom for Artists & Labels is the kind of platform update that sounds niche until you remember how much of dance music still runs through DJs, charts, label pages, and early support.For artists and labels, the useful part is access. Greenroom gives teams one place to view their catalog, track performance, update their profile, and understand how DJs interact with their music within Beatport’s system.That matters because Beatport has a different role from the usual streamin

• Dyzen On Taste, Adaptability, And His Return To HABITAT

  30-06-2026 18:21 via magneticmag.com
  
  Dyzen (@dyzenmusic) returns to HABITAT with “Messy,” and the single finds him leaning into the emotional side of his production without losing the control needed for a late-night club record. A female vocal sits at the heart of it all while darker layers gradually open around it, giving the track enough space to build tension rather than rush toward an obvious payoff.The release follows Dyzen’s previous HABITAT appearances through “Radiant,” “Try,” and t

• Minimal Audio Memory Rites Review: EPROM Pushes Current’s Modulation Hard

  29-06-2026 22:22 via magneticmag.com
  
  Minimal Audio’s Memory Rites is a 60-preset expansion for Current, designed by EPROM and built around bass, lead, pad, key, and SFX presets that make heavy use of Current’s modulation system. The pack includes 25 basses, 14 leads, 9 pads, 6 keys, and 6 SFX, so the focus is clear before you even load it up. It all dropped last week and I got it a bit early, have been messing with it for a couple of weeks, and I’m ready to talk about it.

  4B’s(@dj4b)“WHAT IS THIS” marks his debut on Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats label, and it finds him pushing further into dubstep without disconnecting from the Jersey Club foundation that shaped his entire approach.
  The New Jersey producer has spent more than a decade bringing that local rhythm language into larger electronic spaces, from festival stages to remixes and collaborations that helped define the high-energy side of his catalog. On this new single, that history is still

• Erica Synths Razornator Turns Tuned Resonant Delay Into a Desktop Stereo FX Unit

  29-06-2026 17:56 via magneticmag.com
  
  Erica Synths has opened preorders for Razornator, a compact desktop stereo FX unit built around five chromatically tuned resonating delay lines. The short version is that it takes incoming audio and reshapes the harmonic content through tuned resonance, with enough control to push it toward instrument bodies, rooms, structures, and other resonant objects.Razornator is aimed at people who want an outboard box that changes the behavior of a sound, not a clean end-of-chain processor that sits quiet

  The JetPack Booster just solved a problem you might never have thought about.
  If you have been DJing for a while, especially at undergrounds, warehouse parties, or random pop-up parties, then you know that the DJ decks (CDJs or Turntables) are almost never the perfect height. You’re either reaching up or stooping down, and you rarely get that “jusssssst right” setup.So JetPack thought of a relatively easy solution that actually solves for two problems!Problem number 1 – H

  Hraach (@hraachmusic) makes his SATYA debut with Shake Them, a four-track EP built around broken rhythm, controlled tension, and the kind of low-slung movement that can pull a room in without needing to hit it over the head. The Armenian-born, Barcelona-based producer made the record during a run of mornings in a new studio, and you can hear that reset in the music. The arrangements feel focused, the grooves have room to move, and nothing seems added simply to fill space.The Elektron Analog Rytm

TEED built this one around the feeling of getting ready for a night out in Los Angeles, having a drink, putting music on with friends, and letting the energy build before anyone has even left the house.That idea g
