Dude this is amazing
heeeeeeeeellll yess
im watching this for the first time tryna figure that out
Hey Au5 quick question: When you opened up the already made hypergrowl at 10:50 what all were you modulating with Macro 1 (Growl)?

@@au5music What I'm having a hard time doing is scrolling over easily from 100 to 150, like you did
I've been holding on to this tutorial for months, debating whether or not I should even make it public, but I figured letting out my big serum secrets could benefit the producer community now more than ever. Hope you enjoy :)
Au5 Thanks for doing this! Your music inspired me to buy a saw at to learn music, so to learn from the man himself is great!
Thanks man)!!!
Thank you man, your tutorials are definitely one of the most helpful and insightful on the internet. Love you Austin!
I just bought Falcon the other day, after weeks of debating. Thanks for making my purchase obsolete now that I'm head first back into Serum.
Thank you for this, Austin. You didn’t have to make it public, but everyone loves you for it!
incredible tutorial. You know Serum like a Jedi master. More please

Why would a jedi master have such knowledge of serum?

These are some of the best tutorials on all of UA-cam.

You guys should check out Virtual Riot's livestreams here on UA-cam. He's also a Serum master.
AU5 and Virtual Riot are gods of Serum
So many interesting techniques in this tutorial, I never saw a serum tutorial like that. I guess it is the difference between a youtuber making a "tuto fat bass in 2 min" and a real artist sharing his knowledge
*Zen World
Nathan Bégel what about Zen World?
Just a joke
Well said.
@@noxkoimax356 Check his Vini Vici Bass and then check an actual one, than try to get the bass using his techniques, than talk to me about being depressed :D
A few of my takeaways to incorporate in my sound design (my mind is still blown)
-Use the note modulator to keep pitch from effects consistent
-Use the matrix editor and change the curve of modulation to only modulate parts of the LFO
-Use X-shaper from distortion and flatten edit B so you can modulate amplitude
-Use osc B to add specific harmonics to sounds
-Keep your eyes more than 6 inches from the screen O.o
> '-Use the matrix editor and change the curve of modulation to only modulate parts of the LFO'
What do you mean 'parts of the LFO'? It still modulates the whole LFO, isn't it?
@@davida5899 not quite, basically it's affecting only the parts of the signal being triggered at a "higher" frequency if you will
When you released your static chorus tutorial, I heard a gradual, but certain shift in the production community to incorporate that effect. I think it's safe to say that you're a pioneer of sound design.
Nimmin He's the best of the best.
did you all just forget about Virtual Riot and NOISIA
@@arnav3133 No? I said he's a pioneer. Doesn't mean he's the only pioneer. How is what you said relevant?
Nimmin I think he was replying to the guy who said “He’s the best of the best.” And just said “you guys” because there was more than one person interacting with your comment.
@@arnav3133 lol virtual riot? Skrillex making these sounds 10 years ago
Thank you for making this. So many sound design tricks and techniques in one video.
Totally agree, you can make so many cool sounds with those techniques!

Ya'll should don't forget to try out this technique on other waveforms than just square for fancier results!
oh shit it's teslax love ur songs
experimenting is key!
Bot replys arent obvious at all xD
nah they rent bots lol
Will do! :D
When he put on the distortion it sounded like a transformer morphing haha this is so sick dude
This is an example of a perfect tutorial.
Au5...amazing. Seriously the most informative and educational serum tutorial. I don't have the words that are worthy enough to describe your music and talent. Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this. I didn't even know about the resample osc thing.

Hey guys! If this video really resonated with you, check out my Serum Masterclass. With over 9 hours of video content, dozens of my own personal presets/wavetables, unique techniques I've learned over the past 6 years, and a full comprehensive lesson on everything you can learn about Serum, you too can become a master of the synth.
Sign up here and I'll see you soon :) www.serum.dawnation.net/serummasterclassocheckout?sl=hypergrowlsmc
the sound what I hear I will STOP REALTIME. Like this video. You dont need learn how to create the boring s**t sound for drunked ppl..
This is awesome! Not only have I learned how to make a specific type of growl (And a very well made one at that) I've also learned how to effectively use functions in Serum I didn't even know existed! You're pretty brave for letting other people know this, much respect :p
Dude. I’ve seen many tutorials on bass like this and none of them sound this good made so easy without the use of copious VST’s.
You earned a subscriber.
au5 is pro
"Let me just quickly show you this amazing song I made as an example"
I just rewatched this video with a couple more years of experience in music production and it blew my mind
Insane sounds. Made me realise I'm not going to get the 'growls' I want by watching 1 or 2 videos and winging it. There's so much to learn and understand to properly master this.
I did some experimenting with this, and this actually works REALLY well with saw waves too! You get a whole new, completely different sound! I recommend trying this with all of the basic wave shapes.
The god is back
this is why Au5 is my favourite...not only is he truly talented and makes awesome music; but he also takes the time to make tutorials so the rest of us can get better too! I love you Au5!!
thanks now im not a preset junkies anymore
This is so so simple but such a brilliant sound, youre a genius
wow! insane tutorial
Please don't stop making these tutorials! I'm an amateur produce, solely for my own enjoyment; however, I would like others to eventually enjoy my art. That being said you as well as Fractal and Seven Lions are my biggest influences and any view into either one of your heads on how to create masterpieces such as the three of you is appreciated more than you know. On a side note, come to Louisiana man I need your sounds in my ears lol.
You’ve unlocked functionality in serum that I had no idea was there - that’s some Pandora’s box business! That OSC resample feature is off the hook! Thanks so much!
12:56 PLEASE TURN IT INTO A FULL TRACK
Just do it yourself :P
Just listen to "Noise Storm - AfterBurner"
That part
anyone can tell me what he automated at the end? besides the LFO rate what did he automate? there are a lot of automations

@@jasongravely7217 0 dollars a month if you just fukcing pirate it
its just incredible how many features Serum has
No one can make better tutorial than Au5 , you are the best.
Finally, after so many years, we know how to do Transformers sound design.
btw that sound at 13:01 is fucking wicked
Nice, wherever I look I find you there, like James Cheeks. :D Although I must say this tutorial is not to be missed.
Dude, you are seriously the best person I've ever learned production skills from. You should really design your own course. I'd buy it immediately.
Do I have news for you!
@@PseudoSignal He has a course now??>
@@kalashsarode yes
You truly are showing us what craftsmanship is behind creating sounds and to me you seem like some kind of sonic wizard when it comes to Serum. Simply blows my mind every time.
As someone who is just dipping their toe into the realm of producing music due to how abstract it is, little how-to-do-cool-shit tutorials like this are very helpful. Thank you Au5.
Amazing tutorial man. Very interesting. I think you should make a tutorial on how to make chordstacks like the one in your song "Closer." I've always wondered how you approach mixing with something like that
This tutorial is Au5OME :)
Leave the puns for Monstercat
this pun is gold
You're one of the most long-lasting producers, and it seems like you have mastered the ways of sound designing.
This is the best tutorial on UA-cam. No cuts, just a step-by-step
This tutorial is incredible and so well explained,it really sounds like your signature sound...thank you so much :-)
I will suggest you do i tutorial on ambience,that is something a like to see ..Most of your tracks i very ambient like,which is what i love about your sound.
i would also gladly support your Patreon.
Haha there goes the new sound of 2018 dubstep.
That was a simpler time where complex sound design wasn't king. Crazy interesting sounds are cool for sure, but never a substitute for good songwriting.
-Said every person who cannot design sounds themselves.
Not at all. You know nothing about my sound design capabilities (I'm watching this video aren't I?). Realize that tracks that rely almost entirely on sound design are easily forgotten. Sure it'll make you head bang, but content wise it's shallow. However a song with good songwriting is easily remembered. Look at any genre of music for evidence, even dubstep. I will say though that in a prefect world, complex sound design and complex songwriting would go hand in hand.
@@there_vision Says somebody. Others may differ. There is no right formula for making a great track. All listeners are unique, as you probably experience, so who gets to judge if a song is shallow content wise? Opinion should wait til it hears what it is judging.
I kind of agree with both of y'all, it's when good sound design and good songwriting come together that legendary songs are made. You can kind of think of it like graffiti, you can write a beautiful message but if the font is boring people won't look at it. Or you could write beautiful letters, and people will remember the letters but not what was actually written. But if you have both, they're attention will be grabbed by the interesting sounddesign, and it will stick with them because of the message (or melody) that sounddesign was conveying
OK THIS IS AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!
i've never seen anyone use serum to this extent! amazing
I'll support your patreon!
James Curley me too :)

4:27 "great"
that made me laugh for some reason
I love how you explain what each automation is doing when you do it. Other tutorials just say exactly what to do with no reasoning
those aren't really sound design tutorials, they just give you a preset but instead of giving a download link, they show you how to recreate it.
by far this is the best Serum tutorial i've ever watched!!!
there's no way you're a regular human, who are you?
bro.. i love you
Sytrus is my bae but this tutorial is dope 🔥Good job! ❤
Hi SJT 😉
thankyou , learned more about growl design in this ONE video then i have in a year worth of tutorials.
Up until this tutorial I thought Ableton's wavetable was just as good as Serum. Thanks for showing off a completely unique functionality (resampling)!
After watching like all of these and just experimenting, I’ve kinda learned that you gotta keep it fairly simple and have clean wave tables. Made like 100 presets for a song and tried to use some of em and I ended up mainly using ones named, “simple metal wub” or “square mod” and didn’t use ones named “Optimus Prime gargling liquid tungsten”. Also, I’m still like half trial and error with wave tables. Kinda just take vocoded vocal basses and slow sweep em with Edison and just drag em in. I sorta know how the oscillator works in theory but I got no clue how to actually make it do what I want it to manually.
know this is old but the "optimus prime gargling liquid tungsten" made me crack up
omfg "Optimis Prime gargling liquid tungsten" lmao
Hey your tutorials are really good....but can you make a video on how to make choir intros /arps or anything.....for like intros in mostly DUBSTEP and subgenres
damn, using the distortion unit as a volume attenuator is a pretty genius move
Just wanted to say this is the best tutorial I have seen on all of internet!
How much Unison am I supposed to use?
Au5: yes.
Obviously this is amazing, but I’m so confused as to where they guys as good as this learn this stuff, where is the info they’re finding that I’m not? I’ve read the manual and messed with serum for a long time and have no idea about a lot of this stuff. He said in a comment on another video he didn’t go to school for it, so where is the information coming from? Even if you just click around randomly in serum and find something cool, how on earth do you figure out exactly what’s happening unless someone explains it to you? I just don’t understand how they are learning this program in such depth, I’ve looked all over the internet for years and worked in serum myself and only rarely come across new and intuitive tutorials like this so again, who/what is teaching these guys, and how do I learn from them/it?
You're right Au5 operated serum as if he knew what every button could do. That's an uncanny ability
A lot of what he knew stemmed from a very comprehensive knowledge of synthesis itself. The guy definitely has an expert understanding of how synthesis works, which leads me to believe he could just as easily find his way around other synths no problem. A lot of what he demonstrated came from knowledge gained outside of poking around in a synth. He’s clearly studied the finer details of how filters, wave tables, oscillators, etc work at the deepest levels, and applied it to his work in Serum. He is a very educated producer, even though he didn’t attend school for it. When I was in school for audio production, my synthesis classes were some of the most complicated and difficult classes I’ve ever taken in my life. It’s an incredibly deep subject!
@@lmaocatgirls387 I've just purchased Serum just Yesterday, so been playing around. I have Alchemy with logic pro X. So been learning that through online youtube vids, I save to watch again. I'm far from an expert with Alchemy etc, But it helps to learn basic synthesis to learning more advanced synthesis.
For him, it is not just a hobby. It's his livelihood. There's a big difference between for example a programmer who learned through a 1000 page book, and a programmer who learned through actual gruelling real world development experience. You learn the ins and outs naturally.
Lots of spare time and LSD hahah
Great one, Au5 is a legend! So much to learn and apply even for us non-bass music producers. Top class :)
it is worthy to note the arrangement in the end, it is some sort of answer and question, when the higher track changes pitch, the lower makes the same in a different way and the middle one has that lfo change to make a drop, and it does it different too. Great stuff, very neat and clean your idea
Why can’t I get the same sound as you from the OSC A in the beginning all I get is a piano keys
make sure you have a square wave and you are playing serum and not a differnt instrument
i just died
I love the contrast between between your calm and mastered voice and the whirlwind of your the example at the end.
Thanks so much for the vidz that helped a lot!!
my favorite aspect ratio, awesome technique
Ok... Time to figure out how to do this with Harmor, Edison, Fruity Parametric EQ2, Fruity Waveshaper, and Fruity Granulizer... 😂
I'll make a simple tutorial for you.
Step 1- open harmor on default preset
Turn the mix to 0 and go to "fx"
Move the knobs randomly until you do something
Step 2 - realize you aren't going to make it
Step 3 - buy a Serum
@@Crispymikebacon Actually you can make something similiar to this in harmor, but it does sound a bit different and you dont have this much control like in serum
@@tennobytemusic1529 Bro it was a simple joke, just laugh a bit😂
@@Crispymikebacon I know it was supposed to be a joke, i was just saying that so those people who read this know that they can make this sound in harmor too
@@tennobytemusic1529 yes but you have to buy harmor too if you have the basic 99$ version
Is Dubstep dead? Or is the popularity just declining? Because I think this is sweet, but I haven't really been hearing anything like this in popular demand as far as an element to incorporate into the tracks. Maybe because I make a lot of different genres and this sound is genre specific for a specific fanbase and community that I may not be aware of. I'm sure Dubstep is still making money out here.
This is to demonstrate a technique which can be used for making sounds non-specific of genre.
Creatives will find use for this method of resampling far beyond creating just 2013 growl basses.
There is still a Fanbase. Look up Virtual Riot or Barely Alive for example. They are doing crazy awesome stuff. You definetly have to check this out!!!! XD
@@au5music Going to use these techniques for drum n bass.
When I bought this plug in yesterday I really had no idea how advanced it is. It's like a self contained bass DAW. It's complete, and consistent. Beautiful and terrifying. I don't deserve it tbh.
Laleen Darshika I'm not a newbie, well at least not comparatively speaking, and have seen the Duda series and several others at this point but I appreciate the gesture of good will.
I honestly find it so amazing when good producers share their workflow and sound design methods. I cannot thank you enough for this, you could have just held on to this, but you decided to share it with fans with the hopes that it can help them and push these techniques further. That's a power move, much respect man and thanks a lot
Thats a wide video
KalleHullu ultrawide
if I had a money I'd definitely support you on patreon... but I don't
Bro u literally own nutella
Your knowledge absolutely blows me away, I don't even understand how you could have figured some of this out
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
Even in 0.75 you speak to fast 😂
He’s one of the only people I don’t have that problem with
One of the best tutorials Ive seen.
You made me use things that i didnt even know were a fkn thing theres alot more to serum that i do not know about. Fkn amazing tutorial ima have to watch this constantly to understand every little thing you did
Dude. I knew you were brilliant listening to your music, but damn. You are GENIUS
Thanks!
This is child's play compared to what's coming though
@@au5music wow man. Such an honor to get a reply from you. Just got back into producing myself and I am using UA-cam as my school. What a legend! Can't wait for the new videos.
Best tutorial for synth making I've found. Huzah!
This popped up on my suggestions. What great fun it was! Thank you so much!
sounds like a spaceship's metal hull is vibrating. i love it!
This is the best bass I have ever made in my entire life and recreating it in different ways has really breathed life into my struggling bass sound design productions. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
This is the synthesis tutorial I've been searching for since 2013. Thank you.
maybe I'm repeating after other people now. but dude, this is probably the best serum usage tutorial I've seen so far O_O
Your sound design knowledge is stunning
you are sincerely one of the greatest ppl i've ever learned from. so genuine about spreading creativity. thanks!!!
This is the kind of tutorial you could submit to a company that specializes in creating virtual synthesizers (like Xfer) to apply for a job, even just beta testing, and get hired almost immediately. You really know your way around these plug-ins!
I'm absolutely blown away by this tutorial. This is true mastery of Serum. Hats off!
I am literally shocked as to how informative and helpful this tutorial was! I understood every aspect of sound design that you showed on this video perfectly! Wow. This is THE BEST tutorial I have ever seen
WOW! I've never seen anyone get into the guts of Serum so thoroughly and with such deep knowledge of what is happening inside the engine. Subscribed!
I love this sound! Typical Au5 right here. Hope you make more tutorials like this soon
This is the tutorial that I knew I needed but couldn't find until Now... Thanks! Au5
this melts my face...
Okay those last tips blew my mind. Awesome tutorial!
You’re honestly a god dude thank you for this PRIME tutorial!
How you go through the plugin kinda explains how everything works, not like others that just tell you how to set everything to get THIS ONS SOUND
GJ M8
legendary !! very siiiiick learned loads !! can now hyper growl with the best of them !
i'm gonna come back to this a lot over the next couple months
@1:10 MIND BLOWN. I had no idea. I've been sampling outside the VST and importing it back in. You just saved me so much time. Thank you.
Without a doubt one of the best sound design tutorials I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing
Your deep knowledge and understanding of Serum blows my mind. Outstanding!
Thanks a lot, also the tip with the distortion as a volume control is really handy thank u
