I don't even know why I'm watching this. I don't even own Ser- Never mind, a strange force just pulled me to the purchase page. Seriously, though, these factory preset videos are a true blessing. And you get bonus points for no commentary and a lack of intro. Just good old, no-bullshit preset walkthroughs. Thank you so much!
Thanks ! Too bad that I get 1 subscriber for 600 views, which is very low. Kids trying to listen to a vst, 90 % of them don't watch more than 30 seconds. Bad idea to make this channel. If this was in the 90'....i probably had 5 million subscribers. This generation has no patience. ADD
Actually they sound kind of "rubbish" because the FX chain is off. As soon as you add some unison and FX, these sounds will start sounding cheesy. The magic pipe preset is cool, add a little distortion and Haas effect to it and it will sound really cool.
To be fair the factory sounds for Serum were like made in like 2016-ish, so they are gonna sound dated. Expansion packs and libraries on the other hand is what makes Serum still viable.
@@Brendan-Black 7 years ago is a long time ago bud. So much has changed since 2016. I do agree some of the "dated" patches do still sound pretty cool in modern times.
👏🏻 Oh! Sorry I forgot to mention how much I appreciate that you are demoing the sounds in context with musical parts that would use that type of sounds. Not just “phoning it in” playing the same midi part over and over.
Would i even need this if i already had the minifreak soft synth? This is a serious question - I'm new to the world of soft synths and I'll definitely be picking up the full version of Vital, but after hearing this video i dont see how I'd be needing serum if i already have the minifreak
lol @ hella old school techno riff @ 9:10 - what's that from? sounds familiar. also thanks for the vid. synth sounds good, nice formant filter, but think i'll save my money, think i can do most of this already.
I will try with the demo version. Only 100 presets work in demo and every 30 sec it makes a beep sound :) i would buy it, but people don't subscribe anyway. This channel will grow in 8 years if it keeps this slow... Very depressing. I try to invest time, energy and money....
@@spaceboxtd3720 my songs too. Actually all song we hear are pushed with a lot of money spent. Without that, no radio plays for free. We need adds for the nusicvideo,etc. At least 10 thousand spent. That's why mediocre songs are known, even annoying songs - someone payed, is not because the song is awesome.
better than all of them. Omnisphere I think would be ok for certain sounds but the rest sound trash. I can understand why Serum is at #1 these days and used by many famous artists. It sounds very close to hardware synths but I still think Sylenth1 is the best of all time. Serum's quality, clarity and brightness is close to Sylenth1.
Thanks to your videos, I might have to get Serum and Diva for edm and perhaps Omnisphere down the road! What drum vst do you recommend for edm- or do you just use loop and one- shot packs?
Theres free patches for zebra at uhe patch library. I highly recommend alot of them, especially michael kastrup ones. Very good bnb sounds in those (700ish) theres total of around 10k. Did i say its free? Zebra faxtory presets are 15 years old and focused on showcasing synths capabilities rather than bnb(updates have brought newer ones too) Zebra has really cool oscillator warp modes and since its now 99€ with all the uhe commercial libraries+zebrahz id encourage to try it.
Agreed. Crazy sound design options but overall it just sounds like no low harmonics unless you do some subtle layering I guess. Similar problem with all softsynths though to be honest.
@@CuriousPassenger Omnisphere does a lot more than just samples. It also includes a complete virtual analog synth. It does both. The perception that Omni is just a rompler is not accurate.
@@pacificbase did I mention my opinion matches everyone's opinion? So much serum hype, so I expected a bit more, well, it's obviously not for me and the earth still keeps on rotating. Must be hard to run a youtube channel and not being able to accept an opinion that does not match yours

The haas effect, I’ve never heard the name for this until now. How do you apply this and what for
love it! I was never convinced by the factory sounds in Serum, but you sure showed some really nice and smooth ones that ill actually try to use!

@@rommix0 Lol. 2016 really wasn't *that* long ago; some of us don't mind the "dated" nature of the factory patches, myself included. 😎

Amazing!
After hearing some of those leads, I’m definitely buying Serum.
The Watery lead is my favorite!
Much respect!
sorry to bother but could you give me the timestamp for it?

Great job! I really appreciate your work/effort. Thanks!

I can tell you that 9:35 is from the techno opening scene from the first Blade movie.

How do you find Serum compare against Omnisphere or Zebra and Diva. Which is your favourite for certain sound?
I used serum omni & diva for everything. Zebra has only few sounds that i can use. Some people love it.
better than all of them. Omnisphere I think would be ok for certain sounds but the rest sound trash. I can understand why Serum is at #1 these days and used by many famous artists. It sounds very close to hardware synths but I still think Sylenth1 is the best of all time. Serum's quality, clarity and brightness is close to Sylenth1.
Thanks to your videos, I might have to get Serum and Diva for edm and perhaps Omnisphere down the road!
What drum vst do you recommend for edm- or do you just use loop and one- shot packs?
Zebra and DIVA are awesome, tho I prefer Zebra over DIVA. Serum makes sounds those 2 synths can't and vice versa. I don't own Omnisphere.
Theres free patches for zebra at uhe patch library. I highly recommend alot of them, especially michael kastrup ones. Very good bnb sounds in those (700ish) theres total of around 10k. Did i say its free?

Zebra has really cool oscillator warp modes and since its now 99€ with all the uhe commercial libraries+zebrahz id encourage to try it.
Do you recommend this for ambient/filmscore music?
for anything. because so many types of music can be used in a film/video Omnisphere, Spire, Diva & Serum could give you everything you need
nice riffs! serum sounds a bit thin, imo
Agreed. Crazy sound design options but overall it just sounds like no low harmonics unless you do some subtle layering I guess. Similar problem with all softsynths though to be honest.
It does sound good. But I would still rather save for Omnisphere which is way dirtier & deeper.
might be dirtier but it definitely ain't deeper. imo
Dirtier cos Omi is a rompler, e.g. sample based synth.
@@CuriousPassenger Omnisphere does a lot more than just samples. It also includes a complete virtual analog synth. It does both.
The perception that Omni is just a rompler is not accurate.
Why do these sound like they could've came from Club Penguin?
Possible you are not human, but a penguin? Show us your amazing taste in sound production, oh almighty musician and genius !
How to get these sounds
Right
I dont know why people love it.Terrible sounds.Good to know.
Im not buying.
crap sounds
Still not better than spire
Omg this synth sounds terrible
Yes, it is true - your opinion matters only in your world, not in the real world. As you can see in the comments, many people love it

i love it
Slap me tight, I love it!
Suddenly some Beverly Hill Cops vibes
because not all music is TRAP or RAP
That 9:35 techno riff from Blade's opening scene
where are the presets
Are all serum presets meant to be played off middle C as a standard?
yes. it's a must. I can tell you r are smart.
Wheres the link for downloading?
: ) the cracked ones are viewed as viruses, trojan. That's why we buy plugins.
@@pacificbase is the cracked available on google...can i find it somewhere?
@@arthurhippie2386 torrent websites. I forgot the name. A Russian one was good. But its in Russian, hard to create account.
@@arthurhippie2386 just buy it bro its not even that much for what it is lmao
These presets are quite generic and boring. Not that serum is a bad synth. I miss character.
Just say you don’t know how to use serum and sound design lmao I bet you can’t even name one plug-in with better presets btw 😅
Steinberg Retrologue sounds sounds better
