Serum Tutorial: Neuro Bass Design (Copycatt/KOAN Sound) 

I remember how frustrated you use to be about using samples. It’s beautiful seeing you synthesize your songs from scratch now.

Coming back to this from time to time just because everytime I learn something new. Your channel really is an awesome source of Information! It just wont get to me how this channel hasn't blown up yet.

Thank you so much for everything you do, good sir! You are one of a kind and such a huge inspiration!

Oh man, this is amazing! I've been strictly making my Neuro Bass's off the Glitch Kitchen chart, and doing so many steps... thank you for showing this technique! Keep up the great work man, your tutorials are super consistent, easy to understand & always knowledgeable! Big ups brudda

Just found this video through your reddit post. Awesome tutorial mate!! Super easy to follow and I liked the extra flavour with the intro haha

right mate this was bloody phenomenal. your content has been unreal lately

How many video tutorials did I have to watch over the years to finally come across this one. I'm shocked. This is what I've been looking for. A thorough and consistent approach. Thanks a lot!

Wow thanks. Already used some of these skills when synthesizing in serum, but the step by step way you bring those skills plus ones new to me are nothing but helpful. Thanks so much for this video!!

BRO YOU ARE MY FAVE SOUND DESIGN CHANNEL

Dude your tutorials are amazing!

This so sick, can get so so many different sounds out of this yooooo, big ups !

That was insanely helpful, made some plucks just what I needed for my next release, thanks a bunch!

Thx for the run-thru! The white noise parameter on the growl was probs my fav part. Such a dope texture to add

I learnt a lot of things about Serum in general from this. Great video! :)

Best tutorials on RU-vid deadass 🔥🔥🔥

You are sooooo my serum sensai. Thanks for this dope tutorial for movements!!

Thanks bro, been searching for this soo long...

thanks dude

Nice - I like the pace of the tutorial, definitely learned a few things

sick drop & tutorial. played it 3 times before continuing

Best intro in all tutorial videos. Thank you!

That's exactly what i looked for! Thank you so much! Big up!

That intro is so legendary haha love it

i love your videos please dont ever stop. ❤️❤️❤️

Your generosity is unmatched, I fucking love you man!

That intro tho😂😂 Nice video bro :D

Some good info bro! Cheers 👌🏼

mate i keep coming back to this vid and im so glad ive joined your patreon

this video hella upgraded my sound design game, thank you!

beest intro ive ever seen !! :DD

I have wanted to know how to do this sound for so long. I love you.

Quality stuff here, thanks for sharing mate

Your vids are so helpful dude!

bro this is the best just messed around with this thank you so much its amazing 10/10

Awesome tutorial cheers man

this was very helpful for me. nice one mate the bit about the voicing has been partially useful to me, thats clearly a aspect of serum i wasnt using and needed to.

This is amazing! Thank you 🙏❤

*amazing* video!!

YOOOOO so many people who make tutorials have terrible sample tracks but that was gnarly!! super sick

Sick video!

lol how do 7 people dislike this? Thanks man, between this and the white noise bass, you've just helped me make like 4 tunes I've had rolling around in my head.

Bro, you are like the julian earl of dubstep and dnb. The real deal. Thx man!

Amazing job man.

one of the best tuts i've ever seen, usually after I study a tut it's pretty hard to immediately implement the design techniques in a way that sounds good AND unique, but this time i have what is most likely the best drop i've ever made within an hour of watching this vid!! i've watched a ton of tuts on creating movement and using different filters in basses, but this video just clicks more, not to mention learning a couple tricks i've never seen before. 10/10

This is a great way of doing it for sure.

best intro, hands down

Subscribed! More please man! Big ups! Well Good tutorial !

That song you made is dope! Thanks for taking the time to explain your sound design techniques, I recently got Serum after using 3xosc (yeah i know) and Massive for years and I'm astonished by all the possibilities

awesome! thank you

Immediately. Subscribed. (Because if the preview of the beat)

Good Stuff!

Helpful channel.

thanks man, i'm totes gonna be using your stuff in my next song :)

the demo track is so fresh

i wish there was a school that could teach me this. thx for your videos bro.

awesome!

Good stuff. Subscribed on Patreon.

Dude this drop is sick. Will you also make a video on drop arrangement or show us how you use these basses to write a drop? I'd be interested in purchasing project files as well so I can dissect them and learn.

Thank you!

Amazing!

just wow ! thanks :!)

Amazing

The best, bro)

Thanks mate

GOAT

Masterclass shit right here mate

I am not sure how anyone figured out how to do this by themselves lol. Thanks for the video.

Great video bro! Love how you explained the method behind recording out your session, and taking snippets from it to create your own bass jam sample pack. Question tho: I've seen this style of using LFO modulation in a lot of people's workflow, but I've also seen people use macros instead. When would you choose to use one or the other, and would you prefer to create two different patches, or just use both macros and LFOs in the same instance?

Very comprehensive and I like the fact that you made it a point to get the most bang for your buck within the VST. Nothing against post-processing and resampling, but it showcases that you can coax a lot out of Serum.

That was a great intro men 😎😎😎😎😎

Loving the skits.🥺❤

Man thank you so much :-) Great stuff. So Copycatt :D Great!!!

can you do a tutorial on the reese bass in clash by mythm?

Yes Bro

Nice

Solid tut my guy I actually learned some things

thank u bro

great video dude! is this song out? ill support on bandcamp :)

Lol. One thing I’m noticing is that I’ve like partially nailed the neuro bass. But, that’s it. Lmfao. I swear, the best tutorials out there’s are from au5, and he’s a neuro s tier. Now, I’ve just been listening to like Barely Alive, and some of those basses are nostalgic. After some research, I’ve kinda realized why half of bass tutorials show you how to make neuro basses. 90% of the other sounds boil down to an extremely Agro wave table and a cmb- filter. And the more fancy versions of that are essentially “classic bass in the osc tab. Neuro in the fx tab.” It’s always cool to find parallels between different sounds in edm. So now my biiiiggest problem is making cool leads. I have like a dooope stack for leads I made in patcher. But, I starting to abuse that shit. It’s, to me, the perfect lead. Subjective, sure but, whenever I get to a keyboard solo or a lead in general, I can bring myself to use anything else. So, I think I need to watch this video. Get some help. Than focus on other elements. Cuz, I prolly only thing this lead is so good because, I got into edm production 10 years ago thanks to skrillex and, stacked my whole ass skill tree in bass design, when I couldn’t make a house lead to save my life….like. I could. But, it wouldn’t be good. Really, I just need to make some lead templates in serum. Or patcher. Honestly, I’ve been really messing with gms and processing for leads in patcher. Cuz, I can’t stress enough, how much doper it is to do pitch bends with native plugins. And I don’t have harmor. So Yee. But for now. Gib meh moar bace sirskie.

what shortcut keypress did you hit at 4:15 to bring the low part of the cut off range of the LFO (blue line circle) up to the current position of the cut off?

Dopeeee

Great tutorial if you could do some narly sounds would be great aswell Big Up from London

Nice tutorial. We need to get man's a mic

bruhh that beat you made is fuckin hard, good stuff! would be nice to see a tut for that

similar to the underbelly method?

could you perhaps make a tutorial from scratch at times (Drum and Bass would be dope^^), really enjoy those tutorials, keep up that work!

@Hakobo Amazing tutorial! At 4:16 right after you type in 50 how do you get the blue bar to line up so the start of it is lined up with your cutoff line? It sounds like you hit a hot key possibly but I am not 100% sure. When I am trying to adjust the blue line its always split right in the middle of the cut off value. Same with at 5:53 it sounds like possibly hot keys as well. How do you get the blue bar to be the whole knob? When I turn it to 12 oclock the blue bar does not go past 12 on the bottom instead of the full knob.

yooo can you do a vid tutorial on clash by mythm?

How do you change the modulation range on the knob like that? So that it starts from the amount rather than using it as the midpoint?

Amazing tutorial! Thank you! One question though; When using an LFO for modulation, how can you change the knob to have it be omnidirectional and one directional?

where do i buy/crack serum please ?
