Pyramind sound design instructor Chris gear is back with another Serum tutorial. In this video, he goes over the different ways you can use Serum as a sampler. First, he uses Serum’s built-in noise oscillator. Next, he goes over importing longer formed audio, and explains Serum’s audio import options to help you decide what would be best for your workflow.
Pyramind mentor Jor van der Poel answers the common question: What is a comb filter, anyway? He explains that comb filters are actually not filters at all, but delays. The feedback from the short delay creates a tone in a sound that might not have a recognizable tone. He starts the tutorial applying short delay to a kick drum to show us how this works. This is a must-watch for those of you looking for creative ways to use comb filters.
