Seamless did his 50th how to bass video on FM from the ground up with fm8 if anyone's interested.
Opinions?

His stuff's usually pretty decent. Gonna give it a look. Btw, anybody have any suggested reading material that pertains to FM synthesis? Looking for a in-depth PDF or something I might be able to read whilst at work :p

He looked exponentially weirder with his super long beard before he shaved it.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. He doesn't really drop too much insight into actual FM synthesis, but if you watch his "How to Bass" series as a whole, he gives you a lot of really cool pointers on how to make some pretty ratchet sounds. Too bad Ableton's vocoder isn't as cool as IL's Vocodex :/ Can't get the standalone players to work in Ableton either.... smfh

Digging his new uploading schedule. I think he should stop using stock plugins now, he needs to add more variation to his tracks rather than using syturs, harmor, and vocodex. Would like to see some advanced reese tutorials like the chorus+distortion stacking, the resampling bit is just too easy to learn.

"Simon Cann: How to make a noise with FM synthesis"?
I've only read How to make a noise (it was free) but that was really useful, helped me understand so much of filters, signal chains, waveforms etc. Great book, so I'm totally buying the FM one (when I've bought a better fm synth with more than one operator :/).
His books are amazing and basically free.

He is heavily affiliated with Image Line. Several of the FL 11 demo tunes are by him.They may even pay him to use IL plugs almost exclusively
