When asked how he made the drop synth in "No Good" Fedde Le Grand mentions the Synth Shots sample pack. He goes on to say that when you find some fun samples, put a nice reverb and/or delay plugin on them, then distort them a little bit. That's how he came up with the sound for that particular drop.

When asked what he uses to make his synths sound so big, Fedde Le Grand talks about using distortion plugins, particularly the CamelPhat: http://youtu.be/9yRiHVBv2jo?t=22s

Fedde Le Grand mentions the Dada Life Sausage Fattener as one of the plugins he uses to distort his synths.

Fedde posts about using the UAD-2 SOLO.

The mastering chain usually starts with a UAD 4K Buss Compressor. I try and add a little bit of punch to the mix, but not to go too far.

Then there's a tiny bit of maximising in Ozone 6 to get rid of any extreme peaks, and maybe a de-esser to take control of any harsh frequencies. I've found the de-esser can really help smooth out a mix.

Again, it's all about a little touch here and a little touch there - nothing too extreme. I've also gone back to the Brainworx XL, which is good for sorting out the stereo image and getting the whole thing to sound a lot bigger.

Fedde Le Grand uses the Technics RP-DJ1200 Headphones for both producing and DJing live.
