I’ve been using FL Studio for a while now, I like that the buttons are bigger and there are resizable windows. The GUI of Ableton looks very functional but ugly with tiny little buttons. I’m happy I can still apply what EDM Tips teaches in FL Studio. Each DAW has its strengths and weaknesses, whatever workflow suits you best.

I was gonna say, Ive been using Studio One (love the amount of control) it seems very similar to Ableton in functionality -- but wow does Ableton look like it came from a floppy disc 💾 😂 I don't doubt it's ability to be used to make absolutely great music, but I couldn't help but feel that it's interface seems like it'd've looked the same in the 90s

I'm Fruity too... There I said it :P And I very much appreciate it for a variety of reasons. But from the moment I tried to get more serious about producing, I did notice Fruity giving me some headaches when it comes to learning the functionality. It has great deals of excellent options, but they don't give themselves away that easily :D If you compare that to Ableton, I definitely understand why beginning producers would rather go with Ableton, because it eases you into the creative process whereas Fruity takes some work to reveal it's true power and rewards those who take a very planned technical approach with, it must be said, a lot! And indeed... I adore how FL lets me make everything pretty :D I'd happily see even more of that functionality creep into 22. @@EzPeasZ

Hey Will, just wanted to let you know that your videos still help me immensely. There's no other music production content creator that meets your standard of quality and professionalism. I've asked already a couple of times, but I'd really love to see a hyper-trance tutorial in the style of Volant, Virtual Self and Nuphory. As far as I have seen, you too seem to love trance, so I really hope you too would enjoy making something like that. Tracks like Particle Arts by Virtual Self, Final Gate by Volant and HYPERTRACE by Nuphory are worth noting, they are my favorites in the genere. I especially struggle with the bassier songs that have driving acid drops together with beautiful melodies

Great tips like always. 👍 Im not always using a reference track. But i guess i better should. My ears are not the best anymore with over 50. Problems with the highs...especially after hours of making music or mixing. I had alot loud music in my life. Club or even metal concerts back in the 80s/90s. The thing with -12db for the kick and go from there is something i do for longer already. And my mixdown is always between -4db/-6db. Thats the best tip ever. I did so many things wrong in the past. Im still learning. But at the end it will stay a hobby that calms me down as a therapy. Thx for your great videos...I really appreciate them. ❤☮☯🍻👍

Hey Will, great video, but I found out, that somehow the YouLean Meter adds Autogain to the track you put it on. Another helpful thing I found out is that having two sub basses give more crisp to the song. I always set up one for the kick and a second one for the melodies, which I put on do different channels. I also add Reverbs and Delays during my arrangement stage, just to make sure, that in the mixing stage, I don't have decide about when and where it makes the most sense.

I know its by far not the style of music you usualy produce and make tutorials about, but i would love some help witht he sounddesign. The notes are not realy a problem, but creating this special kind of sound is hard. So if you could talk more about recreating sounds and synths (mybe taking that song as an example pretty please?)that would be so awesome! Big Love and thank you

Thanks for the suggestion, Jimmy! Recreating sounds and sound design is something we do a lot in our Accelerator program - take them apart and teach our students how they can recreate them. I recommend checking it out :)
