  • I just finished watching MixTransformers. Your work is absolutely amazing, video editing superb, everything straight to the point, serious education yet with funny moments and a laid back. Nik really pushed that track to the next level, and I’m feeling inspired already.

    Jamie Benson (Devon, UK)

  • Expanding the sub by sidechaining to mid/high frequencies is genius! Automating the level to only affect the overlapping note is brilliant, a truly having your cake and eating it moment. Another top drawer release from Futurephonic! 

    Pieter Limberger / Hypometric (London, UK)

  • Futurephonic masterclasses have helped me source the knowledge I need to process my sounds to an internationally recognised level of quality. 

    I highly recommend Futurephonic to any producer, from beginner to professional, as I believe there’s something for everybody in their masterclasses.
