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.

I became a producer totally by accident. For a while, I was DJing with a live drummer and an early Roland V-Drum module. It never worked out, but I was left with this drum machine and decided to hook it up with the PC we had at home.

In this MusicRadar interview, Fedde Le Grand explains how he developed his first computer based production studio. He mentions having used Sylenth1 soft synth.

"Although I was pretty good at making music, I was never what you would call a computer nerd, so I didn't know how to download all the free software or hack the latest gear. It actually took me quite a while to start building up my studio. Nexus was one of the first synths… probably followed by Massive and Sylenth1. "They're solid machines and I still use them today. Massive has actually got better with age: the high end is much sharper."

In this MusicRadar interview of 2015, Fedde Le Grand explains the monitoring part of his new studio. He mentions using a pair of Yamaha NS10 Studio Monitor in addition to the main set.

"[...] I always like to keep a pair of NS10s, just to help level off the hats, percussion and vocals, plus a set of KRK VXT8s, to cross-reference the sound when I'm working on something that needs to be really EDM… something that I know will work at a festival."
