Bad Gear - SERUM

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about SERUM. Is this cpu hungry software synth released by Steve Duda s company XFER the industry standard for wavetable synthesizer s, dubstep wubs & wobbles, EDM synth donks or are there better alternatives out there when it comes to modern VST instrument s. Is it too hard-sounding for analog synthesizer aficionados? Can it keep up with its competitors Phase Plant or Vital?"

"Welcome to the collection of 50 Free Acid/303-Style presets for popular VST-plugins: U-He Repro, Xfer Serum, Arturia Pigments, Reveal Sound Spire, Spectrasonics Omnisphere (10 presets for each synth).

The presets are made for 303-Style MIDI Patterns, but you can use them for any purposes.

The collection includes classical 303-Style tones, as well as more complex sounds that can't be recreated on the original 303-machine - they use several oscillators, different types of filters, LFOs, unison, effects and so on.

The timbres are suitable for many genres: Acid, Rave, Techno, House, Trance, Downtempo, Lounge, Breakbeat, Jungle, Hardcore, Industrial, Dub, Electro and others.

ModWheel is set for all presets. It makes the sound brighter, wider, longer. The presets are velocity-sensitive. For the correct result, use velocity value 65 for regular notes, and 127 - for accents.

All timbres are monophonic. Envelopes and slide are in Legato Mode.

Make sure you are using the latest versions of the plugins.
Installation instructions for each synth are inside the pack.

Demo - Drum & Bass Foundations by Techtronix - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"Drum and Bass is a genre thats here to stay, There has been a massive progression and shift over the years in the styles. From the early days of jungle and then stepping up to producers like Calyx Teebee, and Goldie, through to our modern day. Despite this, two things have remained.

The drive created by the bass, and the energy conjoured by the hard hitting drums, the combination of those two in tandem is what will always define dnb as one of the people's favourite genre.

This pack fits in that era between early Drum & Bass and modern, where there is still plenty of sub bass and thick reeces, but with a modern punchy take on drums and fx

All drums have been synthesized using Xfer Serum and have specifically been made to be on the right key and frequency range, to get the job done without pitching.

Rich pads, heavily modulated monster bass, and tough drums is where this packs aims to be.

Made up of, 10 sessions for the Circuit Tracks, 64 patches, 64 samples.

DRUM & BASS FOUNDATIONS - PATCHES

32 dnb style bass patches - including stabs reece's and virtual riot esque warps

Playlist as of this post:
1. Ableton Live Rhythm Techniques and Tips for Synth and Pad Tutorial

Creative use of Live built-in Audio Effects gives interesting results.
I intensively used the effects that have some 'rhythm' features and synced modulations.
To demonstrate them I turned a pad into a complicated synth part.

The devices used: Audio Effect Rack, Auto Filter, Auto Pan, Beat Repeat, Compressor, EQ Eight, Echo, Filter Delay, Gate, Glue Compressor, Multiband Dynamics, Reverb.
No M4L devices were used.

2. Korg Radias Vocoder and Rhythmic Pad

An example of a non-vocal vocoder use: a drum loop modulates the pad. All the details are inside the video.

3. Xfer Serum Ambient Pulsing Pad Preset

We did a huge work in order to produce this bank of presets. We sampled 15 analog synths and then turn the records into wavetables. And on the basis of these waves we created two banks of presets: Analog Dreams Vol.1 Vintage and Vol.2 Modern. Synths that were used as a source for wavetables: Arturia MatrixBrute Arp 2600 Korg MS-20 MemoryMoog Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Korg Minilogue Korg Monologue Studio Electronics ESX1 Farfisa Roland Jupiter 6 Oberheim Matrix 12 Oberheim 2 Voice Roland SH 101 Roland System 100 Roland MKS 70.

4. Access Virus initializes memory. Can't store presets. Battery replacement.

All my presets are gone and Virus can’t store anything anymore. The battery is dead, and this is the process of its replacement.

God, bless Mystery Islands for the Virus editor. All my presets were stored on the computer, and I've lost almost nothing.

5. Работать ли бесплатно? Совет от известного продюсера

В этом видео знаменитый американский звукорежиссер Тони Мазерати отвечает на актуальный для многих начинающих продюсеров вопрос: "Работать ли бесплатно?"
Вероятно, многие сталкивались с ситуацией, когда за участие в каком-либо проекте предлагалось "человеческое спасибо" или "чисто символически". Как относиться к подобным случаям и как поступать - объясняет Тони Мазерати.

Done using the bank of presets for Effect Rack "One-Shot Extension" -it turns one-shots and short sounds into long sounding or even endless parts. The timbral changes are great as well: warm, lo-fi, dirty, noisy, cold, wide and distant colors are collected for these racks.
