Good computer for studio work

Light, portable, long-lasting, fast, but hot in a bad way due to the intel chip. The screen is gorgeous and gives a lot of room for plugins (when you're not having scaling issues with windows). The built-in DAC is fairly high quality. Cooling can be an issue, as it is with most modern high-end intel laptops. The build quality is fair, it is metal so it feels nice, but the paint on the plastic bezel around the screen is chipping off, which feels somewhat cheap.

It's simple, it gets the job done, it sounds good

Clipping is a large part of the mastering process in EDM, so having a nice clipper that can adjust the soft clipping curve and oversample (a lot) is very helpful.

My FAVORITE Compressor

So many settings, so much flexibility, so little money.

Meh

It just doesn't really sound good. The interface isn't very inspiring either.

Must-Have

For the low, low price of FREE this bundle is a must-have. Mutility is great for automating fades when you don't want to automate your faders. Mfrequencyshifter is a fantastic fx plugin for transitions and drum tuning. Mequalizer is great for filtering and responds well to automation (at least better than apqualizr).

Absolute Garbage

No bass, shrill highs. They sound like a pair of dollar store headphones, except they cost 30 times as much. They might share the looks of the DT-770 but they sound almost opposite. No wonder Behringer pulled these from the market just months after release.

ohh what a shame :/

Excited to see what comes

The modulation isn't quite as quick to use as Serum, but it produces some very nice sounds and the filters are miles ahead of Serum's.

Get it on sale

A lot of good stuff, but also a lot of old things. Absynth, Kontakt, Massive, FM8, there's a lot of things in here that haven't really been updated in quite some time.

Lacking good VST support

And without a good set of stock fx for mixing, this daw won't get much use from me :(

avulsion

Great variety and quality

The filters sound great, and there's a lot of different ones to try, and even some that you wouldn't typically find in a filter unit.

Fantastic, Cheap, Somewhat Irritating DAW

I really like FL Studio. The price is a lot cheaper than other DAWs to purchase the "full version" (technically producer edition, anything above that is a bundle of producer and additional plugins). The stock plugins are great, you get Sytrus, one of the most powerful FM synths and Maximus, one of the most powerful compressors. That said, it grates on me. There are so many things that just take more clicks, more time, and more effort than other daws due to how FL is designed. I've ended up switching to Cubase.

Good "Lite" Experience

Gives you access to a lot of the native plugins bitwig has to offer, with a couple weird restrictions (no more than 2 vsts and only 16-bit export). Other than that, this is fairly full-featured, and I enjoy Bitwig's workflow.

Very, very limited

This is a very stripped down version of ableton, if you use mostly vst plugins that's fine, but if you really want to know what ableton is like, this doesn't cut it.

Version: Ableton Live 10

Daily drivers

Been using these for around three years, I've replaced the pads once with aftermarket pads. They're fantastic headphones and I can see why they've been a staple of the industry for over 20 years.

Alright

Somewhat clunky, but works well for old style dubstep growls, filters aren't particularly great sounding.

avulsion

Good hybrid synthesizer

Great for making wonky basses or pads, just wish it had more modulation envelopes

avulsion

Good for subtle saturation

Good for some subtle overdrive on drums or basses

Guilty Pleasure

If I'm ever in need of a small reverb that doesn't take the foreground (unless I'm doing a gated snare), this is what I reach for. It's great to just have a good sounding reverb to use on hats, pads, and background elements without needing to (or being able to, for that matter) tweak many settings.

Fantastic EQ, Fantastic Price

Absolutely the most important plugin for my mixdowns, this handles almost all of my eq needs with mid-side, dynamic eq, and midi input. It's replaced my use of multiband compressors as well.

They are indeed headphones

Good monitoring headphones, they provide nice isolation and relatively good frequency response. The 100-200hz region is a bit dry, so it can cause you to mix in extra mud, and the MDR-7506s have better highs, but overall these headphones are not bad, all my mixdowns used go through them before release.
