Well, well. I don't use Serum. The only software I use these days are Ableton, Reason, and a few vst plug ins from Arturia & Roland. + a few hardware synths and devices. However, I'm not here to digress. I only want to remark on how entertaining this video was IMO. A talent I rarely see. You got yourself my LSD (Like, Sub, Digress) Comment bundle. Well Done.

[@VladTheSour]

just stumbled upon your channel. why is there no good gear video? i want to hear what you like as well.

[@SonglyWryt.Bon-Burr]

Have you done a video on surge vst

[@djatlasmusik]

i used to think serum sounded bad and is too thin or not warm. The truth is actually quite thick and lush if you know how to UTILIZE serums souund design tools properly. YES it lacks sort of the true warmth of anologue, but the sounds that u can make from it when u master sound design comes very close to analogue. AGIAN FOR SOMEONE WITH LESS TIME> OUT OF THE BOX COULD NOT MAKE THESE LUSH SOUNDS EASY, it would be easier to just purchase sylenth or uhes zebra or something more analogue sounding

Fun fact: Steve Duda has never advertised Serum, gives free updates for life and still makes a living with it. Not bad for a VSTi.

Nice! Serum definitely deserves a CLAP

[@Indi3R]

it is its on advertisement. Its not uncommon for me to have 5 or 6 serums in any one project. I most always use it for bass.

[@jbognap]

It sucks when the kind of sounds you've dreamed of for 40 years are so easily available, but are now considered passe.

[@AudioPilz]

I feel the exact same way!!!

[@arnehurnik]

I imagine it's like the DX7's sounds quickly becoming stereotypical. Since we live in a world where every teenager with 1000+ dollars to spend on a computer and music software can make it, so there's just so much of it. But I think it's also going to get nostalgic just as quickly and stay around.

[@aneveningwithebola2727]

The best thing about Serum has always been its design. Everything is so easily accessible, so intuitive and easy to learn, the visual feedback is amazing.

[@AudioPilz]

True that!

[@bestformspielt]

This is such an important point! I used wavetable synths before - like the on that comes with live or the excellent vital, which is a little undersold in this video to be honest. And while those provide you with more or less the same options, it wasn't until I bought serum when I truly started to get into sound design. Serum told me how to design exactly the sound I am looking for. Now I can do it with all the others but I still use serum on every track because it is just so easy and intuitive to work with.

I've only played with Serum a few times, but what stood out for me is the filter selection. As a mostly west-coast/modulation person it blows my mind when I do reach for a filter and am surprised that most softsynths don't offer many types. Also while it's obviously designed and marketed for EDM I'm sure that Serum can sound more subtle and varied without too much work.

[@AudioPilz]

Great sound design synth!!!

[@Nova_Afterglow]

i did rent to own on serum through splice like 3 years ago when i first got started. it has been my go-to synth because of how many sound packs are being offered by really good sound designers. there are things you can do in processing to add warmth to the synth. i personally run all my serum tracks through a tape vst to add that subtle warmth and grit that can make all the difference.

[@AudioPilz]

Tape Echo really helped here!

@@MoonWalkersbin my heart wasn't really in it, and hadn't been since high school. In my adult life I tried to get back into it as a way to have a "cool hobby" to impress people and make myself attractive, but someone I really respected the opinion of called my music mechanical and soulless. I just kind of stopped after that. I don't have the time or energy now, what with 50-60 hour work weeks. It doesn't really matter, I never made anything worth a damn anyway.

HOW DARE YOU :D I guess it was inevitable that serum appeared on this show. Jokes aside I use rarely anything else on my productions. Drum Samples with Kikzilla, Serum for Synths and Hainbachs "Noises" for Atmosphere. That combination gives me the best results for acid techno. awesome episode!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!! Great workflow!!!

[@syukinami]

Good watch! As someone who has dabbled in many modern Drum & Bass tunes, the reality is that Serum is good for both analog and extremely digital sounds. The basic waves and noises can yield fantastic results with some of the misc LPs in terms of sounding analog, while the reverb and comb filters are in a league of their own in terms of assisting with the creation of harsh leads and basses. Genuinely really surprised that more synths haven't implemented a reverb filter like this one has.

[@AudioPilz]

Nicely balanced. That first jam captured what I've always found difficult about software synths in general - they overpower absolutely everything else.
