Just finished a song. First song I've finished in a while. Had a bit of trouble with mastering, going to go back at it again some other time. But this is a decent draft at least.

That was really dope, dude. Nice pairing of dancy party sounds with some real thoughtful elements. Very cool.

Appreciate it man! Was in a bit of a creative block for quite a while, this song kind of got me out of it.
Planning on making 5 or 6 more in this kind of style over the next few months, and then getting then all cleaned up really well afterwards.

I use FL Studio 11 (12 is great for everything they added to improve it, but I prefer 11's feel).
I use Serum and Omnisphere 2 for synthesis, and used a couple plugins for drums, with a few sample one shots.
I've recently taught myself around the synths I'm using. Been a preset whore on a lot of songs. It's paid off to understand what's going on in the synth. Serum and Omnisphere together make a really great combo. Primarily, able to make really cool risers and deep plucks.

Very good, I love electro.
I would buy an album of songs from you if they were all this good, so I guess that's a good compliment to give you.

Great track!! I always wanted to learn to make ambient and dnb, so I downloaded reaper a few months ago, and have watched some tutorials, but they were just the basics and they didn't hold my attention. I haven't done anything yet, because I haven't put in the study work yet....
Any tutorials for electronica you recommend?

Sorry for the late response, haven't had a lot of time these past couple days.
I primarily use FL Studio, so most of the tutorials I've used have been targeted towards that, when I was starting that is. A good free tutorial series I'd recommend for FL Studio is this one:
That's just one episode of several in that same playlist. Worth watching the whole series through for a good introduction to FL Studio itself. Another person I'd recommend watching, less for introductory stuff, more for synthesis and cool tricks, is SeamlessR. Not a huge fan of his style of music, but he's a talented producer and tutorialist.
https://www.youtube.com/user/SeamlessR
For general synthesis, on any DAW, this is a great video to watch. It's really old, but the information is really good for modern VSTs or synthesizers alike.
Beyond that, finding tutorials for any third party VST instruments or effects you are using always helps tremendously.
I remember a few years back, I watched the following video by Avicii. Just him in the studio making a song. I'm not a huge fan of Avicii, but the video was nice at the time, because it gave me a pretty solid idea of where to go with stuff and how to start a song.
The video series, "In the Studio" by Future Music Magazine is where that video above came from. Lots of good videos in the series that can help wrap your head around what people are doing.
When you've got something made, you should look into tutorials on mastering. Something I'm not great at myself, but it can be more difficult if you're unorganized in the process like myself.
I guess that's it, there's a lot out there. Also, the website I use to get software, samples, kontakt libraries, etc. is Audioz.eu. Really awesome website. They have a good forum that is quite helpful at times too. Most of the problems you might run into already have a thread made with someone making a decent explanation of stuff. Forums in general are your best bet for technical problems that happen, and give you better insight into stuff when you can't find a video that covers something.
I'm still working on it all myself. There are some really good producers on this forum that outclass me in technical expertise. If any of them want to chime in with their tips, they certainly should.
