You should do an entire series on Sound Design, starting from the basics like talking about each Waveform and their unique identity so as to recognize the type of waves used to create a song to the most advance level which is basically actually making different sounds. For example, certain sounds sound like a Square or a Q-Pulse or simply, a Pulse wave but can also be created by distorting a Sine wave (which eventually turns/morphs it into the same type of wave). Then there is Triangle which is least used one I feel but sounds great and usually has a very metallic tinny type sound which again can be achieved with Sine wave. This is a great idea for your channel. You can make this an every-week episode type of a thing where you do such a video every week in the Sound Design series. But just make it an entirely new series and create a new playlist for it.
video suggestions Making future bass synth fills with serum like illenium and slushi How illenium made the let you go drop ( I think he just used reverb on the vocal but I have no real idea on how to produce it) Thanks
I’ve been producing since I was 15. I’m 24 now and this is probably the best video I’ve ever seen on sound design. Subscribed, liked, shared, and looking forward to more content.
You sir are a God at teaching. I've watched countless Serum tutorials, this is the first one that made me feel that I could achieve my goals. You just won my subscription
First of all - love your sense of humor mate! Great overview of functions, fantastic tips, you've opened my eyes. Your explanation is simple and accurate for newbies and pros! Please continue the good work!
I've been making...sorry,wrong expression,I've been studying the art of dubstep and FL Studio for almost 8 month and this video just made things easier,thanks!
Tutorial Request: Since the "Big kick" in Big room has been dying away, I have noticed producers like KEVU and Maddix using very Punchy but subby kicks almost like a straight 808 but in big room. What it sounds like is a short punch kick with a sine wave tailing off. I have tried for years to get this to sound right and no matter what tutorial I watch (there aren't any on this) or what forum i read, I can't figure it out. Tracks to use as examples are BANG - Maddix&Kevu, Alive - Sick Individuals (maddix remix), Voltage - Maddix, Jayden Jaxx. Can you make a tutorial on how to process and eq the kick, process and EQ the sub, and how to mix them together to get them to sound so tight and controlled like in the tracks i mentioned above? No matter what i do, my low end is all over the place, uncontrolled, no punch in the low end of the kick, and no matter how i process my sub, its too muddy every direction. Be the first guy ever to give a great explanation on this!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am completely new to Dubstep and have been looking for tutorials like this. This tutorial was informative and easy to follow! Thank you!
Just got Razor, been eyeing it for half a decade, only recently got more serious about producing. Just splurged on stuff to help and Razor, keyboard, and monitor and subwoof was a part of it. Even though I have DJed for over a decade, only when I started to make the beats I realized how little I really understood the music I love. I can make the basses, but what I cant wrap my head around even while directly using a track as a reference I still struggle to get it right.
I don't the reason most of the time I watch these music tutorials on TV edit : I like his sense of humor "you can shape it in a way you like and take it" 😂
I came here thinking this was a tutorial walk through on how to make a preset. I left with actual audio knowledge on how to make my own. This is amazing. Thank you so much
For all those beginner dubstep producers out there... the stranger the sound the more unique... the better... so of its weird u won! Thats all the point.... the freedom of sound design
Really good video!! Was really helpful and kept me interested, I hope you do more tutorials & videos on this subject because it's very interesting and I want to keep going with this and see some more stuff that explains all the effects, what all the knobs do and some cool tips that you must know or are vital to becoming successful in making Dubstep music
Not a beginner but I learned a few neat things about Serum from this tutorial; I'll have to play around with Serum a bit later. you should do a series on this.
Awesome. Excellent as always. Thank you. I'd love maybe a re-do of an old Anjunabeats static style bass tones. It's hard to understand some of your old first videos.
That was really helpful! I could do without some of the jokes, especially the repetitive ones about lovers and friends etc, but not because I find them offensive or so, just because they were distracting from the otherwise very good information. I'm not new to music production, but I'm new to Serum. So seeing this was a great introduction into the basic approach and how to 'think' about sounds for this style. Definitely gonna check out your other vids, good stuff!
Great video! Idea for another: show us a section you've made in ableton that has accompanying layers with it. IE: Drums/rides, separate sub, and 1-3 different sounding growls or whatever else may be in there (vocals?).
Thankyou soo much for this...I requested for it...can you also please have a complete start to end project on dubstep tutorial ...it will be really helpful❤
ok it looks a little complex butwhat about after that i know like another sounds come it.. because its just not the same repeating it like for instance you see how you did that right now what came next another serum with a lead or another one with a growl and making it different and complex ?
Next video suggestion. It would be of great help of you actually made bunch of tutorials regarding what one perticular thing does or how to get started to electronic music production. What does each knob stands for and how does it affects the sound etc... thanx
Do you know how to make the distorted saw lead Maurice West uses in a lot of his tracks like Don't You Say, Yin, Yang, Dojo, or Poseidon? Thanks and nice video!
Hey @Zen World can you explain music theory. I am not getting a good tutorial on it everyone is explaining quickly...I mean they are not providing a full concept tutorial on music theory. So, I hope you'll help me.......I'll be waiting for your response...
Hey there Zen, i really love your content i have watch them all, and learnt alot of them. Still following, but i would really see Hardstyle tutorials and a Hardstyle pack. Keep it up bro, much love ❤️
I would like to see a guide on designing your own wavetables. So far most dudes show the features inside serum and vital but never use them to make the wavetable and instead they drop a sample onto Oscillator 1 in vocode mode and call it a day.
You managed to accurately cover an entire genre in 15 minutes xD
Oh shit its RPS
Well damn
0_0
At Least most of the recent dubstep
There are always some more creative guys. Imo you can never "accurately cover an entire genre"
Take a shot every time he says "change over time"
Jupitrean Music I was looking for this.
Or "flexible"
Am drunk
@@ChancellorScar im stoned and drunk :D
Just passed out and woke up and I’m pretty sure this comment is why
"this wavetable was born here and it died over here" omg zen beautiful

Okay who read the whole comment?
Enpeace Music not me
@@enpeacemusic192 TL;DR
@@SlapShotts that he should make a whole series for sound design. Starting with the basics and gradually growing more complex
He did it
8:05 "There we go, our first Dubstep Wobble WASSUP" omfg I'm crying rn
SAME XDDD
🤣🤣🤣

Thanks

please zen
This was a year ago, and I discovered it today, and I freaking love the way you explain everything

This was for sure one of the best videos I've watched that really managed to cover the basics. thanks!
this is absolutely one of the best tutorials i have ever found when it comes to music
First of all - love your sense of humor mate! Great overview of functions, fantastic tips, you've opened my eyes. Your explanation is simple and accurate for newbies and pros! Please continue the good work!
i remember watching this when i first started vs watching it now lmao i had NO idea what was going on
I'm where you were, what else helped you?
I’m in that situation right now so confused on how to start! Or what to do!
Back in my day we made Dubstep in Massive.
Quiet, old timer
back in my day we made music on piano
@@heheheha9094 back in my day we made music on harpsichord
i sit in cave take bone drum on skull - then i take nexus preset (i make hardstyle)
I use 3x osc sidechained to the master with 11 sound goodizers per mixer channel
Love your videos man, your humor kills me everytime. Keep it up man.
Your the only TH-camr that makes the videos funny right from the beginning lol. Great Video.
I really like the way this video changes over time.
One of the shortest and sharpest explanations of clear, simple and intrigue features of Serum. : ] (like lovers...)
yesterday night I was like I should try dubstep ... and this happened ... thank you ma man
man this was one of the best tutorial vids on dubstep sound design for beginners. Subbed instantly
I don`t like videos very often but this deserves a big fat one
Really liked this video. Fast, informational, to the point, but also very comedic. Thanks brother.
Perfect Serum workflow tutorial. Even if you are not doing dubstep this is great.
I feel like I'm watching a SexEd video cuz of all those innuendos and metaphors
Gizm0 Tunes it is
I am mildly uncomfortable
I've been making...sorry,wrong expression,I've been studying the art of dubstep and FL Studio for almost 8 month and this video just made things easier,thanks!

Adam Davidsson, Maddix and Kevu weren’t pioneers. This was originally Afrojack’s idea
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am completely new to Dubstep and have been looking for tutorials like this. This tutorial was informative and easy to follow! Thank you!
Love this!!! great humor too!!! please make more videos!!!
This guy makes sound design learning easy 😂🔥
This video actually made me realise that whenever you need a change in sound , you need to assign LFO to it.. Thanks a lot mate!

Zen, once again,
thanks my man, you are the best!
I strongly believe that music must be taught using many sexual references and if not, you will never be a good musician.
yo read this at 69 likes
This was the only way I would pay attention
agreed
I don't
the reason
most of the time I watch these music tutorials on TV
edit : I like his sense of humor "you can shape it in a way you like and take it" 😂
Ummm should I be concerned that your username is HOMESCHOOLED rapper?
Most helpful video iv been able to find so far. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I came here thinking this was a tutorial walk through on how to make a preset. I left with actual audio knowledge on how to make my own. This is amazing. Thank you so much
You're amazing man I don't use serum but you were detailed I can use all this on my software!
Really helpful! Also I like the humor. Thanks for this!
Great video. There aren’t a lot of beginner serum videos, this helped a lot
Very cool. Super useful tips. Finally I'm making some nasty wobbles in a simple, easy to implement way
For all those beginner dubstep producers out there... the stranger the sound the more unique... the better... so of its weird u won! Thats all the point.... the freedom of sound design
You .....are the best teacher 🥺❤🙌
This is just as great of a lesson for a experienced producer, great video!
Do a video on reverb types, (room,hall,plate,chamber etc.) me and my mates both agree on this coz we watch you, thanks bro!!!
Low-key sounded like my math class at one part 😂😂😂
Love your energy man!!! Keep it up
Zen it was amazing.Thanks for this tutorial.
Never heard it explained better. Thanks man
I'm just now finding this, thank you so much 💙💙
this is the most helpful video i've seen in a while. thank you
would love to see a video on how to make a very dramatic build up where it leaves you anticapating the drop
groove house bro...back to old school😍
Absolutely amazing and most helpful tutorial. Definitely subbing
15:23 I've been looking at doing this for so long thank you
Love the analogies. You make solid tutorials, thank u
Could you make a tutorial for hardstyle/rawstyle?

I consider rise pretty useful. For longer notes, adding the modulation towards the end gives you a Spag Heddy kind of sound.
Not a beginner but I learned a few neat things about Serum from this tutorial; I'll have to play around with Serum a bit later. you should do a series on this.
Awesome. Excellent as always. Thank you. I'd love maybe a re-do of an old Anjunabeats static style bass tones. It's hard to understand some of your old first videos.
Man this has helped me so f@cking much you wouldn’t believe , you just got yourself a subscriber
good tutorial for the beginners man keep it up 👐

"Thats how we do that" much respect just for that phrase
Great video! Idea for another: show us a section you've made in ableton that has accompanying layers with it. IE: Drums/rides, separate sub, and 1-3 different sounding growls or whatever else may be in there (vocals?).
This was so so so helpful!!! Thank you ♥♥♥

Give us that (outro) song you've been workin on papi, I can't wait anymore
Thankyou soo much for this...I requested for it...can you also please have a complete start to end project on dubstep tutorial ...it will be really helpful❤
Could you do more tutorials on Dark Progressive? Like bass design, theory. Theres not much of anything on it really
ok it looks a little complex butwhat about after that i know like another sounds come it.. because its just not the same repeating it like for instance you see how you did that right now what came next another serum with a lead or another one with a growl and making it different and complex ?
Very useful，thank you!
You should do a couple of videos showing people how to arrange tracks ie make a complete dubstep song from start to finish including mastering
Amazing Vid. I Will have to come back to watch this again after I eat my dinner 🙌🏻
Great video and comedy show! Haha loved it thanks
Next video suggestion.
It would be of great help of you actually made bunch of tutorials regarding what one perticular thing does or how to get started to electronic music production. What does each knob stands for and how does it affects the sound etc... thanx
Holy shit! I love the genre, you hella opened my eyes to start making my own sounds, thank you Zen, keep it up with the awesome & fun content ✊😃
Love your works !!
Maybe a video about Growls , drum patterns , ambience throughout the track and Remix tips??
Thanks for: Set LoopBack point here control, and for sharing your knowledge, all the best.
Who else tought of Eliminate when he said G I R T H? 😂
Btw, awesome video m8 ^^
Lol girth gang 💯
Do you know how to make the distorted saw lead Maurice West uses in a lot of his tracks like Don't You Say, Yin, Yang, Dojo, or Poseidon? Thanks and nice video!
Holy crap this is exactly what I needed!!!
Better mix and full sounding track.. Except the white noise trick!
You're the man Zenworld!
Well done. Could you do a tutorial on basic track structure?
You need to let your ninjas get that song you keep teasing us with Zen!
Don't know if you'd like to do much mastering stuff but a mid/side processing video I feel might be really informative from you.
I tried increasing the Delay on the 2nd LFO but now I can't hear the 1st LFO.. how do i make it go from first to second?
Hey @Zen World can you explain music theory. I am not getting a good tutorial on it everyone is explaining quickly...I mean they are not providing a full concept tutorial on music theory. So, I hope you'll help me.......I'll be waiting for your response...
Been hanging for a video like this!!
thanks for tutorial man, it was realy helpful
You are awesome man. You made that so easy
Hey there Zen, i really love your content i have watch them all, and learnt alot of them. Still following, but i would really see Hardstyle tutorials and a Hardstyle pack. Keep it up bro, much love ❤️
This was great can you tell making effective vocal chops
Could you do a tutorial on melodic dubstep sounds and how to build the heavy harmonics that I often hear in melodic
Great video bro. explained everything I needed to know lol
Would like a tutorial on how to make melbourne bounce bass and how to mix it properly!
I would like to see a guide on designing your own wavetables. So far most dudes show the features inside serum and vital but never use them to make the wavetable and instead they drop a sample onto Oscillator 1 in vocode mode and call it a day.
