Groove3 Serum 2: Tech House Sound Design TUTORiAL

Do you dig tech house? Why not design your own sounds for it? In this Serum 2 video tutorial course, electronic music expert Larry Holcombe will show you how to do just that. If you thought creating your own patches was too hard, think again. In this Serum 2 course, Larry will walk you through the process using nothing but Serum 2, teaching you how to build percussion, bass, and FX sounds and everything that's involved. You'll learn how to blend synthesis and sampling, chop up samples to create loops, add effects and modulation, and more! These Serum videos are designed for Serum 2 users looking to set their tech house productions apart by designing custom sounds from scratch.

To "kick" off the Serum course, Larry shows you how to design a tight and punchy kick drum by combining synthesis with sampling, which will serve as our beat's foundation. This blending of sampling and synthesis is a common technique in sound design and one that's certainly worthy of serious exploration. This is followed by a look at how to create drum loops by chopping up samples and re-purposing them. When paired with Serum 2's comprehensive effects, this is a particularly powerful concept with near-endless possibilities.

Next up are two videos dedicated to bass sounds. In the first, you'll discover how to use wavetable synthesis, modulation, and effects to build a tech house bass, whereas the second will focus on using the new clip preset rhythms. To wrap up the course, Larry demonstrates how to create an FX stab by creating a patch and using LFO 2 to modulate the rate of LFO 1.

Designing your own tech house sounds is not only fun and rewarding, but it will also help your tracks stand out in a crowd and get noticed. Not only that, but the techniques you learn in this Serum 2 course will be applicable in other genres as well, since you're learning about fundamental concepts of sound design.
