I totally thought of bob ross when he paints adding a little tree or little blue here with little brush stroke. instead we got ahee adding little curve here lol
Great stuff! ..... one tweak you could make: It's cool to be able to globally tweak the length of the drum sound. A good way is to turn off the LFO's "bpm" mode and set the length in hertz for all your LFOs. For example, a quarter note at 129 bpm is 2.15 hz. Then you can map one macro to all those LFO lengths and then can easily change the duration of your drum! I think it's anyway better to put the LFOs in hertz mode, then you can easily increase the time scale of the envelope. For example, a good rate for the main volume envelope is 2.2hz, whereas for the global tune, more like 14hz is better for a really snappy envelope that's nice to edit. Oh yeah, one other thing: the stock Serum noise samples kinda suck, they're too short, when you pitch them up you hear them looping. Better to make your own, longer noise sample. I used Diva to make a white noise sample and then used a title shift EQ to really push the high energy up. That worked really well for this.
The LFOs in Serum are more tweakable than the actual envelopes, where you can't add points. It's a weak point of Serum (crappy envelopes). Zebra 3 is just around the corner with mind blowing envelopes, so Steve Duda will either need to up his game with Serum 2 or find himself superseded.
While I'm a fan of Ahee's tutorials I still prefer Jade Cicada's way of synth'ing drums. Not that this isn't usefull - Cicada's harder to wrap your head around (only a bit harder though) but it gives more control as it's layered
@@BobbySnobbs thank you for your time and help. Will check it. Edit- hey it's Mr bill. I have watched that, and am rewatching for sure. Thanks again, man.
Are you teaching or showing off? lol Literally 15 sec into your training I was lost..... Idk IF you would be willing, I think it would give you a lot of views but maybe make a vid for each; vid for kicks, vid for hi hats, vit for snares etc. and go in depth WHY youre changing the envelopes to certain things and why youre dragging them to different knobs.. Cause at this point I would just copy what your doing by pausing every 3 sec and just make your kick. I wanna learn WHY Im doing what Im doing so I can mess with different techniques and make my own sounds. Just a thought. If its too much I get it but it would be amazing because you obviously very much know what and why youre doing what youre doing every step. cheers anyway.
The reason he does each step is because he's trying to emulate the physics of what happens when an actual drum or hihat is hit. So you'd help yourself by reading up on drums and what happens to them in the real world, because that is what inspires all these techniques! Obviously he makes electronic music so he's not only trying to faithfully recreate a real acoustic drum, but he names them after real drums for a reason! Because i know how real drums work, i understood at each step what physical part of a drum hit he was emulating.

Just showing up to the party - thank you for teaching me how to do these fundamentals! Seriously GOATED producer. Much love
Much love! this is exactly what I was looking for!!

This was the only tutorial that helped me make effective snares, God bless lol. Well deserved sub from me 👍
This kick is so huge
Thanks for sharing these tips, Ahee. You're the best.
you are a god for teaching us these things for free #blessup
Another great video! Stoked to peep the sample pack
u're a god AHEE. Thanks
Awesome work!
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Is this how you would generally make a kick for a track or do you generally use samples?
This is amazing!!
Thank you so much!
why using lfo as an env instead of using envelope?
The LFOs in Serum are more tweakable than the actual envelopes, where you can't add points. It's a weak point of Serum (crappy envelopes). Zebra 3 is just around the corner with mind blowing envelopes, so Steve Duda will either need to up his game with Serum 2 or find himself superseded.
Can someone help me? I only have LFO 1 to 4, how to add more?
Once you use all four LFOs the next four will show up one by one.

can you please tell me where i can find it?

The kick sounds godly. Not feeling the snare and hihat tho. Smdh lol
