    Hey just wanted to say about 5 months ago I downloaded FL studio. About 2 months ago I began watching your videos many of them multiple times(the music theory one I've watched probably 5 times through its very helpful for foundational knowledge). Over the last month I started working on a new track using the strategy you show in this video and it is without question the best overall sounding thing i have made.

      I don't want to start an argument whether this reflects EDM or deadmau5 specifically but, this was the first thing popping into my mind and yes every artist uses synths like Serum. And I found no one to a certain extent that sounds like this.
