Virtual Riot is without a doubt the best at sound design! It would be awesome if you did a "Studio Time with Virtual Riot #7 - Mixdowns where you cover levels, bus's, compression, side-chaining, eq-ing, etc..

[@nandhannatarajan2127]

tbh he does that in is livestreams basically

[@shcxatter2]

Just search "SeamlessR" on youtube, and then tell me who"s better! Virtual Riot even mentions him at 12:21 :D

[@Observation1]

I prefer Oliverse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seriously, for you to sit down and take time to put in so much work helping others is ridiculous. I wish more artists (most not even close to your level) would do more things like this. Very inspirational, Thank you so much.

[@MrLatheion]

It's great that you decided to make video dedicated to Xfer's Serum. It still not have attention it deserves. And it is now probably the best wavetable synthesizer in the World.

[@drkastenbrot]

Just wanna mention that he has your tables installed.

[@FaumauNZ]

Oh well. MORE SERUM FOR US

[@FaumauNZ]

[@yungster_rick]

+Synthferatu Its one of the best VSTs in general

[@fulcrumofficial8391]

+Synthferatu What I like most about Serum is that you have the liberty to create your own warping modes and even distortion, not to mention wavetables...Basically there's an infinite number of sounds that you can come up with, and it seems easier to work with comparing to other synthesizers, at least for me.

Must say for someone who wants to start getting into production that this video helped a bunch! I feel like I have a much better understanding of what serum is capable of and a great attitude to just play around until I get what I want! Thank you for the knowledge

[@AiurIkiza]

I love how xFer released the Dimension Expander as a separate plugin, which they actually made 100% free. It's really, really cool, when you want to use dimension expander outside of Massive or Serum.

[@xFearGodx]

Youre so fucking amazing for doing this, i think artists who show how they make shit is just wholesome

[@sarphog]

Finally decided to check out your YT channel after falling in love with your songs and hearing a shitload about you from Seamless. You're my new hero

You are so adorable ;_; I can't believe I saw you B2B with Barely Alive at the Amplitude 500 Drive in rave here in CO!!! When you came on, I was literally in tears...I was so FREAKIN happy that night!!! I had such a blast!!! My whole neck, back and legs were sore for a couple days from going so hard XD IT WAS WORTH IT THOUGH. Thank you for this tutorial!!!

[@impartjesus2764]

VR, I'm not sure if you'll see this but you've been such an inspiration of mine for the past few years. It mind sound weird but listening to your music has made me experience so many emotions and has made me cry multiple times, and not in a bad way at all. You're music is so beautiful to me whether it be a remix or an original song. You as an artist have inspired me so much and I've actually invested into music equipment and software as of yesterday. I guess what I'm trying to say is your music has made such an impact on my life and it means so much to me. I hope to open for you one day VR, I'll never regret listening to you.

[@Lithiummusicnetwork]

"Sounds a bit like-" *plays animals drop* LOL

[@famitory]

serum pro tip: in many daws, graphics data is stored in ram alongside patch data, so if you run out of ram, close and open your project. you'll notice ram usage goes down mysteriously, because the serums havent been opened, and as such dont need to load their graphics into ram. this might work with other vsts too, im not sure.

[@PigeonPigeonPigeon1]

Hey virtual riot, I learned a few good hidden tips from this, so thank you! I would be so interested in watching the video you were talking about making, post processing, FX chains and stuff. That's the part where I'm kind of lost at in Ableton.. I can add the FX chain but nothing super special ever comes out of it. Thanks again :D
