Hey, I'm not Televisor, but I produce myself and hopefully I can help... :P

Learning a DAW is not actually as difficult as some people make it sound! I use Logic Pro 9 (same as Televisor) and learned its basic functions in a day. Reading any sorts of manuals is very helpful, but you can find everything you'll need to know by just spending time clicking around and learning which stuff does what. Televisor also made a 6 minute video on logic's layout! :)

Synthesis can be pretty tricky to learn at first, but all synthesizers follow the same methods. I recommend you start with subtractive synthesis, as it's one that's easy to wrap your head around. The Moog Foundation made up some great posters that can help you in understanding synthesis fundamentals.

Music theory is a little tough, as I jumped into production without actually having much of a musical background. The most essential elements of music theory you need are knowing how to form a chord, knowing names of the notes and how they're laid out on a keyboard, and how to stay in key. Learning these things can take some time, and until you've had tons of experience with it, just write stuff that sounds good to you. We all have a tendency to know what's in key and what's not, so just trust your ears and you'll be good to go! :D

I believe that it was Tim who did an hour-or-so long video on the production of some of Televisor's synthesized basses in Trillian.

Unfortunately, this video was taken down and I can't link you to it. :( But I hope this answers your question regarding a favourite plugin! :)
