I've had Serum for about 3 years now....never knew what I was doing with it though. I always just used presets. I should've just watched this video from the beginning. Thank you!!!
@@gaving321 I'm still not great with it, but after watching tons of "how synthesizers work" videos (not just Serum), I started to get a better idea of what does what
5:29 100 FINE = 1 SEMITONE 12 SEMITONES = 1 OCTAVE 7:00 PHASE Determines where the sound starts playing on the wavetable RAND determines where the sound starts on each individual note. 13:10 Automation & LFO
Dude this is just the perfect amount of explanation. I click away from so many vids because they will get into different wave shapes and stuff and what they sound like. I just wanna know how Serum is organized… thanks so much for the excellent explanation, even on the little things like the tick marks in the filter box
That's an almost perfect tutorial. Fast but clear, well presented, well narrated. The ordering of the information is pertinent, really, fantastic teaching. Thanks!
I’ve used nothing but presets in Serum for 5 years now, mainly because it just seemed so intimidating. But I have finally decided to tackle it. This video was so very easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this video to anyone who wants to learn sound design inside of Serum. Thank you for this excellent video!
Thank you im a newbie to mixing and Ive been watching alot of studio one and VST videos and your to the point without becoming boring or lingering long on one thing. And you explained ALL the buttons and what they do which is what i needed, TY. So many tutorials where they are drawn out for an hour and could have summed it up like yours in 20 min. Great tutorial.
The way you explained was so amazing man, great video! I recently bought the Ace serum presets packs a few days ago and they are already great too but your video helped me shape the sounds to fit better with my production. Sometimes its the little things that matter and knowing the way the sounds are made is really good to know so you can make it work with all the drums and bass and it blends so well now, so thanks again! Great video :) :)
Thanks for making this video, I'm completely new at making /producing music, this video was exactly what people like me with 0 experience need to start wrapping our heads around these concepts! God bless!
This was one of the BEST tutorials I've ever seen on the internet, no cap. You were so easy to follow throughout the entirety of the video and you went in detail with every single section. Thank you so much for this, it helps out IMMENSELY. Instant subscribe/like!!!
man this was a huge inspiration finally understanding serum. Ive stuck with logic but i recently bought fl and serum and was so lost. This is giving me the motivation to finally pursue the sound ive always wanted
Another thumbs up for a great video with just the right amount of detail for a new Serum user. Now I can get into tutorials for making specific types of sounds and know why i'm twiddling different knobs 😂
Thank you soooo much for this video! I'm surprised I didn't come across it sooner. I was going through the Xfer Serum Manual and instantly got overwhelmed, making go on and off trying serum or just blindly going in and not knowing what I was doing. Now I definitely feel more confident with experimenting with sound design after watching your video. You got a like and a subscribe from me. Keep up the good work, mate!
Thanks for making a cool video. I have been looking for new channels lately so not to get stuck with the same old thing during my TH-cam watching hours. Only one small critique is that gain is not a synonym for volume. It's actually an interesting topic that people sometimes never find out that something they thought was true, is not. It happens to me all the time. Have fun and keep them coming.
for the demo go offline after starting up ableton, set your time a year in the future, then start serum, then you can go back online and you can use it to learn easier to bypass the 20 minutes. They should just disable saving and importing sounds. Hopefully this helps.
Thankyou so much. I have tried Ableton a few times with serum and just can’t get my head around it. This was perfect! I can’t wait to go back and have another go now
this is not for beginners, this is for EVERYONE, its everything needed in a condensed concise form. from here you can get deeper yourself messing around with the software over time.
Thank you so much! This was so l very informative! Pretty new to serum and things like it. This helps me to understand a few other tools in my arsenal as well so double thank you!
I bought serum, but it doesn't display properly on over my Ableton Live 10. I can't see the keyboard at the bottom and have had to hide my task bar just to see some of the settings lower down. How can I get it to display like yours?
@Poppo World PA you what mate. this easy shit is harder than the ridiculous stuff you do in school? come on man you just have to spend some time to understand it
@@ashleycorp349 Thats exactly what happened to me when I first got ableton live suite I had almost no experience with music programs and within a month I made my first two songs the my first one was pretty shitty but my second song was actually good. So now I'm saving up for this so I can make some dubstep or anything becasus I am sick of downloading some random wavetable sounds that ppl have made I think its time I start making my own. Like no joke practice makes perfect.
Thank you for modulating your voice; I almost died on another video I was watching for something else. It was a CLIFFHANGER; luckily YOU stopped me from JUMPING 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think I would have spent more time on the envelope section and done it before the LFO part. It's on the left hand side for a logical reason. Every sound needs an (ADSR) envelope for its volume (and usually for the filter too). Not every sound uses additional LFOs. e.g. You could have shown a simple saw wave pluck and then altered the envelope to make it into more of a pad sound. It's a good and useful video for beginners nonetheless.
Nube here. Is serum a stand alone program or is it an addon/ plugin for a different program. For example, can I download and use serum alone to produce a dubstep track?

U sound like Exalted. R u Exalted? U have the same music in background. And u r talking the same way.
InspirAspir yo I love your positivity and your vibes ur so underrated I swear I love you bro
Does serum come with sounds like alchemy?
i have a problem, i have a setting, and it sounds ok...but when i render it doesn't apply the pattern A E I but just A. any idea what is happening?
I've had Serum for about 3 years now....never knew what I was doing with it though. I always just used presets. I should've just watched this video from the beginning. Thank you!!!
Can you share?
Bro I’m absolutely lost on it , so much complication, can you use now
@@gaving321 I'm still not great with it, but after watching tons of "how synthesizers work" videos (not just Serum), I started to get a better idea of what does what
@@gaving321 take the time out to learn
I never made it to the presets, just buzzing 😂
i appreciate you speaking quickly
with good audio quality
For the fist time, I had a clear understanding on how Serum's signal chain works.
fr
@mucho it's like the order of things
5:29 100 FINE = 1 SEMITONE
12 SEMITONES = 1 OCTAVE
7:00 PHASE Determines where the sound starts playing on the wavetable
RAND determines where the sound starts on each individual note.
13:10 Automation & LFO

best beginners guide of all time. 20 minute vid and I feel like I just gained months worth of knowledge

Thank you for this excellent video!
I've been going through sound design plugin tutorials for a while now and this is by far the best one I found
This tutorial is way clearer than all of the other tutorials put together. Thank you for sharing.
This was incredibly helpful. Honestly a perfectly conducted tutorial.
I swear you do not get enough subs and views considering how high quality your vids are
Could be the commercial/ad that precedes the actual reason people clicked on it.

5 minutes in and i already really appreciate the way you do tutorials. nice and thorough, easy to follow along. subbed brother, ty ty

Best serum tutorial out
Great tutorial. I learned more in the first ten minutes than I did in two tears of HS Music.
What a great walkthrough!!! I have had serum for years and never understood the interface even though I know synthesis. Thank you
wow this was cool tysm love from INDIA 🇮🇳
man this was a huge inspiration finally understanding serum. Ive stuck with logic but i recently bought fl and serum and was so lost. This is giving me the motivation to finally pursue the sound ive always wanted
Are there any alternatives to serum and vital
@@mrfluffygaming4525 Massive, yeah its paid but you can crack it so easily, or phaseplant, but those are for more advanced users
I only speak English, but this was actually really insightful. You're the man. Hope this translates bro
Thanks so much for the clear and simple way of explaining it...will play around with Serum and follow what I just learned here!
Another thumbs up for a great video with just the right amount of detail for a new Serum user. Now I can get into tutorials for making specific types of sounds and know why i'm twiddling different knobs 😂
This video holds great value. Thanks so much for the information.

Fantastic tutorial, clear and to the point! 👏
I cant thank you enough for this video.
Finally a tutorial i understood and was clear. Very accurate job
for the demo go offline after starting up ableton, set your time a year in the future, then start serum, then you can go back online and you can use it to learn easier to bypass the 20 minutes. They should just disable saving and importing sounds.
Hopefully this helps.
Finally I will be able to understand what I'm looking at while using serum. Thank you so much for this explainer guide!
Best tutorial on this! Thank you!
GREAT TUTORIAL - Such clear explanations!!!
Amazing Tutorial!!!!!!!!!! 200/100 Score!!! Clear Cristal, short and effective!!!

Can't thank you enough for this!
Really good video.. explained very well and some good tips for producing new sounds
This video was really useful. Love it.
I bought serum, but it doesn't display properly on over my Ableton Live 10. I can't see the keyboard at the bottom and have had to hide my task bar just to see some of the settings lower down. How can I get it to display like yours?
Why does he keep calling everything a saw wave

Like no joke practice makes perfect.
so u advise make a folder for all the serum sounds that you create and then it can be use by serum or your daw right ?thanks for the vid
I use serum long time ago.. now i just got it right. Thanks bud.
This is the best video that shows serum, great review.
Thank you for modulating your voice; I almost died on another video I was watching for something else. It was a CLIFFHANGER; luckily YOU stopped me from JUMPING 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you .That I call tutorial .
Do you need a midi keyboard for this ? Or can you use just your laptop?
Thanks man, I just got Serum today, so this video was very helpful!

How much does serum cost and where can I buy it?
Nube here. Is serum a stand alone program or is it an addon/ plugin for a different program. For example, can I download and use serum alone to produce a dubstep track?
great video, I understood everything, thank u
