You don't become a production expert overnight... Practice makes perfect. You need knowledge of manipulating synths, processing sound, and doing creative things with effects for your productions to sound professional.

manipulating sythesizers? or synth software? i tried out sylenth but it still doesn't sound like bt

No one sounds like BT. Well, that is, BT is a studio obsessive, spending ungodly amounts of time perfecting his tunes down to the microsecond. You're not going to sound like BT by downloading any ol' online studio - you'd have to actually create your own.

It's not the tools they use, it's the way they use it. There are countless pro producers using FL, Cubase, Reason, free softsynths, free vst plugs, shitty outboard gear, you name it...
It's only when you realize the producer (you) are the weakest link is when you'll start to improve. Until then you will wander the web downloading every piece of software you believe will get you closer to that pro sound.

And this just proves my point.
Just FYI Sylenth is quite possibly one the best vst's for EDM today. This just shows how close minded you are. Unless you are looking for a program that instantly makes a BT tune with the click of one button; In that case, no. You can stop producing right now and come back in 5-10 years and ask the same question.

Its all using Fruitloops and knowledge I picked up over the years of this program because I do this for fun but like to impress myself for the next tune I make. I do have a musical BG but no where near what acutal money making producers do on their CDs!!

I just learned how to use the vocoder and its freakin awesome. Just use Youtube for demonstation videos to get the most of what your program,keyboard has to offer. Patients is a virtue and you will get it by learning from other sources.

Use lots of presets, and every synth should be a super saw. Make sure you frequently do the christ pose to put yourself in the right mindset.

And only ever write songs in A Minor.

What you need to do is to learn sound design + sound engineer.

u should buy a good vst like sylenth1.

get lots of additional presets, while also try to make your own sound.
