Beginners Guide To LFO Leads For Modern Dance Music

linktr.ee/zenworld
This video covers the basics of creating LFO Based Leads that have taken the dance music world by storm. These leads all have one thing in common, LFO modulations develop changes to the information as the music producer plays a melody or holds onto 1 note. For this tutorial, we will use Serum to utilize its visual workflow and teach you the theory behind creating some insane leads. For this tutorial, I took inspiration from artists like Deadmau5, Adam K, Anyma, Layton Giordani, Space 92, Afterlife, Lane 8, and many more.
The only difference from every lead is how you execute the design and the LFO Parameters.

[@weirdcityboi]

Hey man! I’m glad your videos keep popping up on my page because I’m a hip hop vocal engineer and producer but I recently started DJing in my hometown of Austin TX and my vision is to produce my own house/dance music tracks and start showcasing them in the clubs in my city. I throw parties and events all the time and have taken quickly to DJing due to my production background, but the missing piece from my vision is sound design. Your videos are always so easy to understand and teach me how to produce the exact sounds I’m trying to manifest! I bought serum forever ago just because I thought I should have it in my bag, and I can almost guarantee you’ll be the reason I reach that next step in learning how to use it and other wavetable synths. I know I’ll get where I want and I just want to thank you for your part in making it happen in advance. Much love from Austin TX man. Subscribed, bout to start going through your videos more purposefully ❤

[@nextgenph2595]

Austin is a fun town. I'm working on some tracks. Hit me up if you need or want to collab.

[@jaredh723]

I’m currently working on some adult films in the Austin area with all male casts. If you have a website for any of your beats please let me know because submissions are still open

[@cekirdekci32]

one direction :LOL I love backstreet boys . you teach so well and very informative Zen world. I swear it should not be for free. but thank you for making it free . i always wanted to know how they make that custom lead stutter on serum like the way i do it on sub37. again thank you for sharing your genius

[@d-drop6678]

This was really helpful! Thanks for your work!

[@tractuspk]

This is making me want to go watch Tenet.

[@sevennofficial]

bro, do a video on cassian. he does the craziest shit with drums/ott/sound design choices

[@jsohi0082]

Hey I am wondering if you can do a video on techniques to making synths and leads less cheesy sounding. Thanks for the vid

[@ZenWorld]

On the list making them sound 🧐

[@samuelmilner8990]

quick question - when you're modulating the LFO RATE it changes by Hz instead of bpm, how do you make it effectively match a rhythm without sounding out of time? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@MusicByHallen]

Hey, do you know how to set the LFO rate in Serum to MS instead of HZ?

[@mikeylastnight]

been looking for a tutorial for this 1000% helpful never fails what are the chances we get a serum bank with these types of leads ?! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@mikeylastnight]

btw this reminds me of rebuke hes big on these leads in his tracks

[@djkaya9558]

😃🥰

[@wesleydavies1945]

Is it possible to swing LFOs? I often find that my LFO leads are too straight for a swung beat. My work around is bounce to audio, quantise, then use abletons groove feature

[@ambersimmonds1188]

how can you add portamento to midi? I know you can use glide notes in FL Studio but not Ableton :/

[@luisesquer676]

Why so serious Zen?

[@WeAreMagonia]

Are you ok dude ? You look way calmer than usual. Or maybe it’s just maturity ?!

[@ZenWorld]

😅 I'm gonna be doing more serious tutorials for easier editing haha

[@ZenWorld]

But I agree it's just hard too much and lose the audience and too little maybe too bland?
