Just... not too complicated. FL made my head explode more than once.

Yeah, FL is a bit unintuitive. I've used it before. I've also used Cakewalk, but that was quite a few years ago.

I say go with it. You no like, you take back. Get full refund.

FL is eeeaaasssyyyy. Especially with all the tutorials out there and dedicated learning sites like warbeats.com or nfx-beats.com

Well i belive one of the best software out there for recording and editing is Reaper,its only some MB and there are so many things you can do with it.For some samples you can go with Fruity Loops.Also a great software for recording and even playing guitar is Guitar Rig Pro,you can use almost every kind of amplifier and effects to achive the sound you want.Now for recording drums EZdrumer is the best software out there.

I've played with FL Studio and Ableton. I prefer Ableton. Cleaner look and a lot more comfortable feeling in my opinion.

Any1 who can master my hip hop songs?

Maplatoon - I don't know of anyone, but try www . landr . com /en for an automated mastering service. I've just started using it and it's great.

As for the software, I've been using Cubase, and have found it... buggy. Anyone else had similar experience, or am I just not doing it right?

Cubase was easy for me. Now i use FL studio and it seems not so easy for me, lol, even if every kid now can use it

Anyone looking for a good soft synth for EDM, these would be my recommendations:

1) Serum - Wave table synth that's great for bass and unique sounds, and it's ez to use.
2) Diva - Tones of analog character - Bass, 80's pads Diva can do it all.
3) Zebra - The Swiss army knife of synths.
4) Dune II - Huge sonic capabilities with a clean sound.
5) Spire - Virus in the box? Well, not quite. But it's still one of the best round.

No, they're instruction packets for MaxMSP. Unless you're a college educated programmer, I'd stay away and just stick to Synth1. Not to be confused with Sylenth 1, which is a DIY Arduino LFO generator..
