MDK

Produced by MDK for Black Octopus Sound.

MDK uses FL Studio in tutorials, as can be seen in this video.

FL was also MDK's first DAW, as mentioned in this August 26, 2015 interview with Image-Line:

How did you start using FL Studio & what does it mean to your productions?

I downloaded the FL Studio (version 7) demo when I was 14, and was instantly hooked (though I’ll admit I came very close to uninstalling it because I didn’t know you could change from “pattern” to “song” mode #noob). After a few days of messing around with the demo I realized that I was seriously addicted. Hell, “addicted” is an understatement. It consumed all of my free time and I realized that it was what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. I managed to convince my mom to buy the full version of FL for my 15th birthday (which wasn’t easy – that was her first online purchase ever), and the rest is history!

I’ve tried most other DAWs at this point, but none of them have ever felt as intuitive as FL. It’s the perfect balance of a sleek, user-friendly program, and a truly badass piece of audio software.

By about the end of the video MDK opens up the Massive synth.

He has those headphones on pretty much the entire video. They first appear at 0:30.

At the beginning of the video you can see MDK using Serum, as well as Vocodex, and FL Studio 12 is the host DAW.

In about 0:06 FabFilter Pro-C can be spotted open.

You can see the item, starting with 0:12.

"Approaching Nirvana: What’s the best Piano VST/AU? We use EWQL Pianos which is awesome but only has 4 pianos and sometimes I feel like I’m burnt out on them… /A

MDK: @ApproachNirvana FL Keys. Hands down."

"@FL_Studio Vocodex is my best friend"

Vocodex was used on MDK's song "Fingerbang" to distort his voice into a bass synth.

"These are our sidechain automation clips. They're linked to instances of 'Fruity Balance' on various subgroups in the mixer"

"Harmor from Image-Line Software (the guys responsible for FL Studio) is amazing!"
