Serum Dubstep Presets That Changed My Life
Presets & Walkthrough: ayjinplates.com/edm-bangers-serum-vol-1/
These Serum Dubstep Presets include Growls (featuring one Skrillex-like Growl), Terror Squad-inspired Cookers, Wubs, Bass Leads, and more. They’re part of a larger pack that also covers genres like Trap, Melbourne Bounce, Psy-Trance, and Harddance.
Check out the link above for more demos. I’ve included a UA-cam video where I showcase all the presets unprocessed.
Crafting Dubstep presets in Serum can be challenging, but these presets help you explore a wide range of sound design techniques, or you can just use them to make your own drops. Almost every preset comes with fully mapped macros for greater control.

  • @LegendaryMaoMao20
    @LegendaryMaoMao20 12 днів тому

    The louder the volume, the less dynamic the sound can be, sometimes the transients suffer, I like to keep it healthy around -16dBFS with the peaks at around -8dBFS, because a digital system has a theoretical limit and signal to noise ratio, depending on the sampling rate you choose to work with, so pro-loudness, I used to be one of them, but now, I favor quality and control full time

  • @jmoemorris4133

    Very good but if you're having to make massive cuts on your mixbus or Masterbus EQ then you've got a bigger problem in the instruments somewhere. Find the harsh frequencies on the individual instruments, make the eq cuts there. Then you can boost your mids on the mixbus or master in no fear of introducing those ear piercing 2k...4k frequencies. Fix the issue in the source signal, not the mix or master chain. 🤘🏻

    • @richcrawford6123
      @richcrawford6123 11 днів тому

      Respectfully, this is not always true due to the way that frequencies can affect one another. Get as close as you can in the mix but don't be afraid to make adjustments on the master.

      Identify the channels with the highest peaks and limit/clip them. A too-loud sub-bass also eats up lots of headroom. You can also produce a track into a finished master chain with a predetermined LUFS goal and see which new added elements kill your limiter. :) Check out my vid: 'This Technique Gave Me PRO Loudness'.

    • @AYJINPLATES
      @AYJINPLATES 24 дні тому

      Hey, I just wrote a comment down below, clarifying some things. I write the script myself and improve only grammar and flow with AI. Unfinished tracks come from: 1. Not knowing how to proceed 2. Not being able to implement the idea. This video shows you how to build and finish the full track from nothing, starting with the drop. It's the best way because in my experience, drops "make" the track and are the most difficult part of a song to implement. I finished more tracks when starting with the drop first, than starting with any other part of the song. But I agree that this video doesn't show you how to implement the idea, which would take a full masterclass with several hours and is the hardcore part of music production. If you can implement your ideas and know what to build next (drop->intro->build->transitions), then you can finish tracks. This is my life lesson. Thanks for watching and the feedback.

      The content is not AI generated, I write a script myself and then improve it a little with AI (grammar and flow). AI doesn't know anything about music production, it can only generate definitions for terms that are defined on the internet. I use an AI voice, because I have a strong German accent, which I believe people hate more than AI generated voices haha. But I fully understand if people dislike AI voices. The description is a summary of my script with AI yes, nobody reads it anyway. The titles are not AI'd, AI didn't give me good suggestions here yet. Thanks for the feedback.

    what is the best clipper for dynamics, not color?

    • @AYJINPLATES
      @AYJINPLATES Місяць тому

      I use StandardCLIP because of its graphical representation (also used by Pegboard Nerds). I haven't tried other clippers, but I recommend choosing one with a graphical interface so you can visually monitor the peaks. If you want to minimize coloration or saturation, you should use hard clip mode, but clippers always add color to the sound. For peak handling without adding coloration, I'd recommend using a limiter like Invisible Limiter or FabFilter.

      I agree, but on SoundCloud, when you skip between tracks, louder ones often sound better. On Spotify, I feel that there's still a difference between louder tracks, even though Spotify levels them down. In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves, but the pros I listen to usually aim for loudness, even if their tracks are worse in a fair comparison with quieter ones.
