[@arifdaniel7082]

0:29 Saw Tooth Tight Pad 2:02 The Loose Pad 5:03 The Synth Pluck 7:55 The 808 Bass Drum 10:27 Pluck Pad

[@jameshall5171]

I don't know why he called it a bass drum. It's just a bass.

[@andrewharris8967]

What else are you using for the Saw Tooth Tight Pad? I'm trying to recreate in another synth but there is a lot more going on here than sawtooth, cutoff and ADSR. Any tips would be appreciated.

[@mediocrecarguy4979]

As someone who thinks about music from more of an emotional “feeling” standpoint rather than a technical “follow rules” view, your videos just scratch the itch. Thank you for being you Alex. 🙌🎶🎧

[@lincolnjohn1111]

Dude you’ve helped me sense the start of my music career and you’ve helped me to make better melodies, you are such an underrated producer 🙏

[@eutrot3000]

[@atNguyen-jd7hs]

love your channel. Doesn't give me the feeling of "I know better, so you have to listen to me". Also, you keep the pace of the tutorial even and talk as you make your tweak.

[@evilferber2704]

That is the most beautiful sound design tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you for your hard work!

[@zizwemusic7688]

By far the most beautiful!

[@jaybrypto]

[@paddysmokes1837]

Best sound tutorial I’ve seen on KZbin, thank you!

[@LegendaryHER]

You just took me to another dimension with these gorgeous sounds. I am literally going to take what you've shared and use it. I'm actually looking to make a bunch of EDM tunes so.... Hahaha to infinity and beyond! Thanks for this, so glad I caught wind of you just when I'm getting back into producing. I'm a self taught producer and a long time singer/artist manager so I'm super stokked the fire has sparked again. JUst in time!

[@DigitalAura]

"Like, YEAH!"... LOL. thanks Alex. Love this.

[@DexieTheSheep]

[@UnderTheNorthStar]

Really great and lovely sound demos, thanks Alex.

[@Manuel_Manzotti]

[@AlinZotescu]

Hello, this is one of your best videos man! Thanks! Keep going like this!

[@Seshy20]

[@pokernightcoordinator6766]

Thank you! Sound design is an area of knowledge I need to improve at.

[@NooneyMusic84]

Hey Alex, another great video packed full of inspiration. Some simple, but brilliant sound design techniques for many different genres of music. Super stuff man 😁👍🔥

[@LLAWREN]

I love the loose pad! 😍😍 so far I've always shyed away from sound design, because I don't understand Synths that much and thought it will be much easier/faster to just use proven presets. but damn, you just opened my eyes to so many possibilities - thanks big time, Alex! ✨🙌

[@nzprojects]

Great video, i love those classic trance pads and plucks.

[@jaimecandela2488]

Thank you Alex for keeping It simple, you are a good teacher and I understand a lot thanks your explanations!! That needs a lot of work and sometimes I lose my patience and give up.. but your videos always give me an extra motivation 😅😅😅

[@JSkitt]

These are gonna go nicely in Synthwave.

[@eliosix]

Simple but very useful. Thanks Alex 🙏🏼

Geniales Video. Jetzt habe ich die Grundzüge von Serum verstanden, den ich seit kurzer Zeit mein Eigen nennen darf.

[@LootrimTV]

Alex makes the best tutorials

[@Petesy]

you might have just saved my edm dream thank you

[@konfupanda-g1i]

ALEX YOU ARE A GENIUS

[@tunefulsoulonaroll7669]

Thank you. I will use these techniques in my future songs. I don't have serum, but I have sylenth and recently got massive on a huge discount. That combined with vital, sytrus, GMS and some other new free synths installed will be a great practice session.. I have some AIR Music synths as well and recently realized they are awesome (plus they always have discounts going on)..

[@demiadisa7162]

This is actually a really great video IMO

[@nicogrubert]

Simple Tricks in Serum result in awesome sounds. Thanks for the hints!

[@sanjayvarma7842]

So simple, so helpful. Very inspiring!

[@bennguyen4409]

Thanks so much for making this video Alex! It’d be awesome if you could make a video with this same concept except for future bass!

[@Kidd.Nostalgia]

Great video thanks Alex!

[@szilagyidominikbence5536]

Hey, in case you could not figure it out since you wrote the comment: option is alt on windows, so hold shift+alt and click.

[@zizwemusic7688]

LOVE you man for this. Thanks a lot for the wealth of knowledge you share. This video has helped me ton

[@iamgandhiswag]

amazing tutorial super helpful with understanding how to make sounds

[@johnfollis2357]

At 10:27, The chords are: D Major7 for one bar, f minor7 for a half a bar, and b minor triad for the other half of the bar. And then it repeats. I am using the chord progression in a similar way in one of my projects. But except mine is heavily modified. So I have: D Major7 for a bar, f minor7 for a half a bar to G Major7 for the half of the bar, then D Major7 for a bar but but this time a bit of voice leading for the second half of the bar to make it a D Minor9, Then for the last part of this progression, the last bar has G Major7 for the first half of the bar with voice leading to make it into a G Minor9, then finally for the last of the bar it is a b minor9 with voice leading to a b minor11. And the chords are doing a uni-polar rock guitar style vibrato at certain points in the progression to make them sing. This is why it is so good to listen to videos like this and others to get different perspectives so that you can find some golden nuggets to use in your own projects.

[@SFK9kano]

Awesome videos, learn so much

[@aleksandrbazhenov4886]

Hey Alex, I am Alex too😊… Best video and best tutorial. That’s exactly what I looked for!

SUCH an amazinh producer and a great guy

[@katanabeatproduction435]

every genius thing is a simple thing)) thx mate

[@MrRADicalOfficial]

I did not expect your voice to sound like that. After listening to you I was like actually this guy sounds familiar.. and then it hit me.. you sound a lot like Coffeezilla! lol I don't have Serum but thanks for the tips!

[@smlnski0085]

Just thank you. You are great.

[@MRDUKG]

Mesmerising..... big up fella....

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

Funny, I used Vital, and found, playing along with you, that, first part, when you go up the keyboard the pad gets less harmonics ('advanced' tab, or spectrum), so the sound characteristic changes, but when you add key tracking, the harmonics stay the same. Now 'key tracking' has a face for me ;-)

[@danielsonderhoff5882]

Fantastic tips ❤

[@dzejovski]

The first sound with that cutoff effect is so Deadmau5'y :D

[@marcotulliomelica9680]

You're so f*****g great. Fantastic job

Nice tutorial. You make it easy to understand. But I think there is one essential sound missing: The synth piano.
