Studio Time with Virtual Riot #6 - All about Serum 

"I think this is going to take half an hour" he says.

Still helpful 3 years later!

This was dope man. You got the juice

Virtual Riot is without a doubt the best at sound design! It would be awesome if you did a "Studio Time with Virtual Riot #7 - Mixdowns where you cover levels, bus's, compression, side-chaining, eq-ing, etc..

31:40 "Very much much more wider" Virtual Riot is confirmed Carnage. :D

"We got some YAEE-WLUAHLAUWUA going on here" -Virtual Riot 2015

It's great that you decided to make video dedicated to Xfer's Serum. It still not have attention it deserves. And it is now probably the best wavetable synthesizer in the World.

1:55 AM. I'm not going to sleep until I watch ALL OF THIS VIDEO.

29:00 ; 54:00; 1:08:38; 1:10:03 some improvisations

Seriously, for you to sit down and take time to put in so much work helping others is ridiculous. I wish more artists (most not even close to your level) would do more things like this. Very inspirational, Thank you so much.

Virtual riot you're amazing.so so compliment

This was posted over 6 years ago, but it's still one of the best serum tutorials (along with his others). Love your work VR. Just keeps getting better

45:17 He literally sits down and starts messing around with no end goal and comes up with this. I'm officially convinced that Virtual Riot is a god

There's such an unbelievable amount of information in this lol. 30 minutes in and I have almost 2 pages of notes, I feel like I'm in a class

I’ve watched this about 5 times in the past two days and I’ve learned something new each time! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

You are so adorable ;_; I can't believe I saw you B2B with Barely Alive at the Amplitude 500 Drive in rave here in CO!!! When you came on, I was literally in tears...I was so FREAKIN happy that night!!! I had such a blast!!! My whole neck, back and legs were sore for a couple days from going so hard XD IT WAS WORTH IT THOUGH. Thank you for this tutorial!!! I am excited to try to make my very own wubz and what better way to learn than from one of my favorite Dubstep producers. I have so much respect for you

this sound design holy crapsack

54:48 has me crying

very very way more stronger

28:23 virtual riot learning to be an aussie

45:22 His finger stops him from talking and he was pissed at himself. Lol

Your generosity in sharing this program is truly appreciated. Thank you!

49:30 still the dopest pluck + melody i ever heard

Seriously got so inspired watching this. Lowkey died when you made legit sounds(Dubstep/Bass House/etc) in 15 secs. So awesome

Finally decided to check out your YT channel after falling in love with your songs and hearing a shitload about you from Seamless. You're my new hero

When he hits his head on his keyboard, it still sounds better, than everything I ever played on any instrument...

Youre so fucking amazing for doing this, i think artists who show how they make shit is just wholesome

this came in my suggestion just when i needed it

YESSS VIRTUAL RIOT!!! Fuck this depression and anxiety now I got more than a whole hour of you!!!!

"Sounds a bit like-" *plays animals drop* LOL

That modulation part at the end where you showed the random wavetable pluck was SO epiiic !!

absolutely love this ! thank you so much for still taking the time to help, and inspire other producers even though you are most likely mad busy ! seriously loving your new music, Keep going man !

YEAHHHHHHH... YEAHHHHHHHH.... YEAHHHHHHHH... Thanks Virtual Riot !!!! I've been waiting on this for sooo long :D

I like he doing the sound at 1:08:45 - 1:09:10 .. So amazing !!

I learned how to use Serum 4 years ago because of this tutorial. Thank you Virtual Riot!

One of the best Serum reviews so far! Congratulations! Definitely I´m in with the fx chain n post processing stuff as additional processings for serum on a new video! I will be waiting for it!

25:25 Virtual riot: "I hope you can hear this. If you've got headphones on you're definitely gonna hear this, it'll be.... fun." Everybody with headphones: ♥‿♥

31:43 almost pulled a "carnage" #veryverywaymorestronger

Wow, this is great stuff: you cover a lot in a relatively short time. It's much easier to retain a lot of this info when it's put in context, and you do that well and quickly. Thank you!

nearly 5 years later, this is still very helpful. thanks for all the tips!

Omg! The bass at 1:09:00 sounds like Rogue's bass in his track Nightfall! It sounds so…awesome. Thank you so much for making this video.

This video: GROWLROURLROUWR ZIRRR ZERRR ZURRR OUAR OUAR OUAR Thanks for the tutorial!

Each time i listening to your tutorial, i learned more into them than my others tutorials, your explanations are so clear and easy i love them

Virtual Riot is super underrated. He makes amazing music and goes out of his way to teach others how to make amazing music. Respect.

yes been waiting for this!

When you're so early it's only 360p. I love studio time.

VR, I'm not sure if you'll see this but you've been such an inspiration of mine for the past few years. It mind sound weird but listening to your music has made me experience so many emotions and has made me cry multiple times, and not in a bad way at all. You're music is so beautiful to me whether it be a remix or an original song. You as an artist have inspired me so much and I've actually invested into music equipment and software as of yesterday. I guess what I'm trying to say is your music has made such an impact on my life and it means so much to me. I hope to open for you one day VR, I'll never regret listening to you.

52:30 The sound! I love it to bits! It's...it's gorgeous!

I love how xFer released the Dimension Expander as a separate plugin, which they actually made 100% free. It's really, really cool, when you want to use dimension expander outside of Massive or Serum.

dude sweet! Thanks for showing us :D

This is the best guide I've ever seen. Bro you are a great teacher. You are constantly sharing your thoughts about why you are doing what you are doing. And you went into so much detail. I'm gonna watch this until I fully understand everything in this video. I need to check out your entire catalog to see what other tutorials of specific sounds you have on here. But this is great for anyone who wants to learn.

Thank you for making this. This really helps me get a grasp on how to use serum and not be confused most of the time when watching a certain sound tutorial

Even you watch Seamless?!?! Knowing that makes him even more underrated!

1:08:38 omg that was amazing

Love You man, thank you for this gold mine trail of producing tips! was awesome seeing you out at the armory last friday even though you didn't play lol

Must say for someone who wants to start getting into production that this video helped a bunch! I feel like I have a much better understanding of what serum is capable of and a great attitude to just play around until I get what I want! Thank you for the knowledge

3:15 Damn it looks like the synth from "Toulouse" by Nicky Romero

15:50 Exposed minecraft youtuber

sub'd in to Disciple even tho i dont listen to you guys much, but your tutorials, specifically Virtual Riot, seem so open and immersive, professional, i could go on.

thank you bruh, for taking the time! really appreciate you.

Learns about Serum Text To Speech bonus egg thingy Instantly types " Peanus Floot " The results were even more mesmerizing than I anticipated.

YAY NEW STUDIO TIME. Oh wait I don't have Serum. Cri

Serum is most likely my all time favourite VST, i have so much love for it. Also so much respect to Steve Duda for making it.!

Thanks Virtual Riot, I hope you continue to share your wisdom with us!

Hey virtual riot, I learned a few good hidden tips from this, so thank you! I would be so interested in watching the video you were talking about making, post processing, FX chains and stuff. That's the part where I'm kind of lost at in Ableton.. I can add the FX chain but nothing super special ever comes out of it. Thanks again :D

i just learned how to produce 3 different genres thanks to this video

Dude, this video is such a life saver

This is like the best thing I have found on the internet for quite awhile. Thank you for this, it is pure gold. subscribed+like

Thank you bam margera.

56:10 i want to know how to make similar basses please help xD that wave table for the bass is awesome

The best explanation of anything, ever! Ha! Love that you play as you tweak. Old but timeless. You're a star!

Been 5 years since this was posted and this still helped me understand Serum so much!

Put the video at 0.5 for further understanding

Hey VR its been over a year now where's our StudioTime #7?!? xD

This is still extremely useful 5 years later, it's amazing, thanks for this tutorial man!

How does this not have over a million views? I'm surprised you share this much info for free. Thank you so much!

47:48 just a bookmark, move along

53:00 kinda sounds like the "Prey" Soundtrack

Thank you so much Virtual Riot, I've so been looking forward to your next studio time. And being all about Serum, well that was just the icing on the cake.

Found you randomly. I watched the whole video while at work. 10/10 no regrets. You earned a new subscriber.

Hallo, virtual riot, Bin ein großer fan von dir, Würde mich freuen wenn es mal was auf deutsch gäbe

virtual riot plays minecraft XD

Sick video, you had me going the whole time. You and seamless are Beast. Love the way you teach As well you are a monstar on the bord.

This was incredibly helpful. Serum is really neat. Thanks for the video.

#minuseleven #neverforget

Hey Mr Brunn, quick question about Serum, it shouldn't be too difficult.. When are you going to do a stream again? :)

i can totally see my self getting into this, i love everything about techno and making is even more fun, i just have to motivate myself to understand it more and the soft ware is what confuses me the most and i was never that great in music class either

It's never too long. Tutorials are rarely as helpful as yours, would absolutely love a video on layering and maybe an updated mixing and mastering one. Thanks for all the help.

15:53 Minecraft

Can you do a Studio Time on how to synthesize Dubstep kick drums and snare drums? Using Sytrus or something like that?

Seriously happy you chose to do this as the next thing to cover, so nice to see you back to doing videos aswell :D excited to see what you do next, expecting something in the melodic tutorials way :D

39:24 I love that sound so much

29:34 damn

Oh come on, Sample and Hold is NOT A BITCRUSHER. Sample and Hold is one way to achieve Quantization, to reduce the sample depth on the x Axis. A Bitcrusher reduces the resolution on the y Axis. 2 different things that sound different and should not be mixed up.

I appreciate the clean language. Thanks VR

Picked up Serrum about a month or two ago and honestly loved it. Got pretty good at it recently but this video just completely helped me just create some crazy shit! Thanks dude! New fan!

"I think it's gonna be like a half an hour" *looks at timelaine* *one hour and 12 minutes*

Show us how you made Yonaka when you have time? (maybe in a future livestream) i am very interested in how you made it and would greatly benefit from it.

The best tutorial of Serum on YT is this one :) And it's amazing to see that this is Virtual Riot's one. I will have ableton live 10 standard for Christmas and I've been looking how it works for one month. I practise the guitar since I'm 7 years old and I have ever liked these kind of sounds. Sounds so chaotic but perfect. I hope I will be able to start using Serum because it seems so impossible ! I have to learn more and more and to find my own style. Thanks Virtual Riot. This tutorial made me understand all the possibilities and put me on thé way of changing my life. 👍 I really hope to see you on the TV winning VS David Guetta because I don't find his songs good. There is always something missing, the voice fill the blanks.

Thank you so much for make these tutorials! there are so usefuls for me!:) Greetings from Spain!
