You know when you look at your favourite synths and think "If only it could just do this, that would make life so much easier"? Well, Serum will have it. Whatever it was that you wanted and couldn't do in your other synths, Serum will do it. Need I say more? It's incredibly user friendly, yes it does look intimidating but for what it actually does, it's plain simple.

If you're just scraping by with not too much cash, these babies will get you started for a measly £80! They have a nice flat frequency response range while providing a good all-round sound monitoring quality. Making sure these monitors are placed properly and providing the space is somewhat acoustically treated will definitely improve the clarity of the bass frequencies, otherwise it can get pretty muddy very easily. I will soon be replacing these for something more advanced and of higher quality, but for now they work a treat!

I myself use a lot of iZotopes software in mastering. This is more than I expected from the new release of Ozone, It's not just a new skin put on top of Ozone5. The quality and depth of the tools are very fluid and Optimised for the task. If you're familiar with Dynamics and Compressor tools, you can be an expert with Ozone 6 in a couple minutes. This is now one of the essentials when mastering. iZotope never disappoints.

Still a power house to this day since its launch of the 1.1 model in 2006!

64GB of storage goodness! And at a great price, I can store all my tracks and projects for use on the go! However I recommend storing a backup of tracks and projects incase the flash drive dies.

Top notch for using plugins such as Razor and great for samplers! Top notch software!

The saw type dubstep sounds you can make with this are amazing! Much monstercat!

Everyone will hate me for this, but it uses way too much of the systems resources and crashes way too often.

Ok, When I make dubstep. This is the daw for the win! (5 stars for dubstep) It layers dubstep so well. But I prefer logic pro 9 for any other genre. (ElectroHouse, BigRoomHouse, ProgressiveHouse, Bounce)

Now I know this is newer than 9.. but it's not any different. They just changed things that made it less fluid. But other than that it is a great DAW!

By far, my favourite compressor is the glue. It does what it says, it glues the track together. It gives it transparency!

when I first got sylenth1 (My first vst plugin) I thought I was the bees knees, but there is a limit to how much you can do with it lol

It does what I want, and how I want it!

I keep finding little tricks and secrets on how to make great sounds in this synth!

It's on ok sampler, I only use it for the piano sounds lol.
