We’re sad to announce that Computer Music's most recent issue will be the final issue of the magazine.
First launched in 1998, Computer Music’s existence was spurred by the giddy excitement about the music production power of desktop computers, then becoming an increasingly popular presence in homes around the world.
The momentum built further by the snowballing of home computing, the speed-up of processors and the swelling interest in creating and producing music at home, Computer Music magazine soon became a must-buy for many.
Over its subsequent 25-year lifespan, Computer Music charted the development and evolution of software music-making from its humble beginnings to its omnipresent current state. It inspired many notable artists and producers to pursue their passions and armed its readers with a huge array of free software – most notably the Plugin Suite, an arsenal of tools that stands among the greatest free gifts a print magazine has ever given its audience.
Sadly, the cost of print has increased substantially in recent years, and it became clear that the best strategy was to consolidate Computer Music's content and spirit into MusicRadar.com, alongside our sister title, Future Music. Meaning that Computer Music's expert opinion and knowledge will continue to live online.
If you are a subscriber to Computer Music, please don’t worry – our subscriptions team will be in touch with you directly to confirm that you will be refunded the remainder of your subscription term within 7-10 days of this final issue.
All that remains is to thank the many brilliant writers, photographers, interviewees, advertisers, former editors and staff who made Computer Music what it was. Most importantly, a wholehearted thank you to all its readers.

Rob Papen has a track record for creating some of the most inspiring, polished synth plugins around, and Go2 could well become your ‘go-to’ synth, thanks to its feature-laden interface, which includes everything from multiple oscillators to an onboard sequencer. It’s now a part of our CM Plugin Suite – available exclusively with the new issue of Computer Music

Lunacy Audio’s CUBE Mini is an incredible sample morphing synth, with a 3D cube-shaped interface and a sound on every corner. You blend these samples to create evolving sounds and can select from 120 presets. These have different sounds loaded on each corner and different ‘Orbit Motions’ i.e. the movement and blending between each sound. It’s now a part of our CM Plugin Suite – available exclusively with the new issue of Computer Music

It’s finally here! After months or organising and assembling, we’re finally ready to give our readers version 3.0 of our world-famous CM Plugin Suite. It’s the definitive 2024-ready version of our legendary plugin collection, with 21 absolutely brilliant new instruments and effects added to its number (including some really quite remarkable full versions of feature-packed synths, such as @gforcesoftware Axxess and Rob Papen's Go2). As our extended cover feature underlines, we’ve worked hard to guarantee that the items in our suite play nice with modern hardware architecture.
The overall aim was simple – to make the suite (once again) an indispensable package for our readers, and to give those without the most far-reaching of disposable incomes everything they need to make release-quality music in-the-box.
Not only do you get the 71 items with the latest issue, but we have an in-depth guide to getting the best out of these plugins and instruments inside.
Buy the issue, grab the plugin suite and use it to build a masterpiece. We know all too well that there are many hardships facing musicians and producers, but with our new suite we hope to have made the creative process that bit easier – and more fun!
