People & Places

In our interview section this month we spot-lit Void & Vista, the developers behind FOLDS, a creative new instrument built around vocals, and learned about their artistry-first approach to plugin development. We also spoke to in-demand mastering engineer Katie Tavini about her work for the likes of Bloc Party, Rudimental, Ash, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Nadine Shah and Arlo Parks.
