Beat Magazine #248 – September 2026

Beat Magazine #248 is a studio tools bundle for hobby producers curious about immersive audio. At its core is a Dolby Atmos masterclass that explains how the format differs from 5.1 surround, why headphones alone can deliver Atmos on streaming services, and how to set up a home studio for 3D mixing without a huge budget. You also get a full license for Steinberg Cubase LE 15, a capable entry-level DAW with audio and MIDI tracks, instruments, effects, and MixConsole for recording, arranging, and mixing. A Behringer JN-80 synth test and a portrait of Kefaya & Elaha Soroor round out the issue. It suits producers who want practical Atmos guidance and a ready-to-use DAW to start creating.
