FL Studio goes back into the roots of my production, It's helped me form my unique Step 'n' Bass (SnB) Genre / Signature Style. The DAW is great to use with multiple screens although i do find an issue with it if you try and use it on a smaller screens, examples of this can be using it on a Windows Surface Pro can be quite an issue. However it isn't unusable. If i could change anything about the DAW i'd make the overall look more customizable with more options for minimalist views or trying to make the whole DAW itself look like the style of the new mobile app but without removing any of the current existing features.

My own workflow when it comes to the production and composition of music didn't exactly go hand-in-hand with Live, however after using the DAW some more and trying to get to grips with it I found that when using the DAW for sound design in plugins such as xFer Serum some of my studio equipment is more responsive to the Plugins.

Serum is the best plugin. Hands down (In My Opinion) this is because the plugin is so versatile, has the best user interface out of the lot and works with the wavetable systems that people used to only dream about. Serum is capable of making just about any sound known to man and this is why it is in the successful position its in now, not to mention the amazing default sounds that come as stock and the easy to use interface. It's my favorite plugin and I'm sure its many other people's as well.

Good ol Spire. My first plugin that used to be all the influences behind my previous work as a Glitch-Hop / Drum & Bass music producer. The plugin is very versatile in making different and unique sounds that work together and overall not being to CPU intensive when running or rendering out. The plugin itself is a bit outdated with Spire and Massive being the two stealing most of the limelight nowadays, however i feel that if Reveal Sound were to release a major update for Spire in order to compete with the two mainstage plugins they would have to do something amazing with the features, inputs and display of the plugin.

Sylenth is the pioneering plugin of more mainstream EDM genres such as House, Future Bass and Trap. The plugin really lends itself towards more Electro, Tropical House & Mainstream genres. I feel that the popularity of the plugin is ducking a little bit as competitors such as NI, xFer and some smaller plugin manufacturers are releasing new plugins by the month that it wont be too long before something replaces Sylenth. But until then it will rock on and always provide the juicy sounds needed to spice up a track and keep it catchy.

My purchase of this product was to learn more about music theory and I feel like a 61 key MIDI keyboard would help me; as well as creating more Melodic Based pieces in some of my tracks.

Really cool MIDI Keyboard, the size of it makes it easy to carry around and use on the go. Additional features such as the touch buttons and extra knobs that the product gives you are really useful for production and I'm sure they will be useful for live sets as well.

Love this product so much, it's so cool when you pair it with the Launch Key Mini as i plan on doing more live creation projects in the near future. It's great for song covers. And the programmable lights are a nice little feature.

Originally purchased for college use and cinematic / audio-visual scores; I've increasingly noticed that these headphones are amazing for both Stereo Mixdowns and 5.1 Surround Sound Mixdowns in most of my other tracks; after using these headphones I have noticed that car mixes become more precise and with the EQ it is easy to hear what my track would sound like on other low or high end systems.
