Developing Synth Sounds Explained®

Description

Synthesizer pro Thomas Cochran delivers in-depth synth sound design video tutorials! See how to make and develop a wide variety of popular synth sounds, including techniques that you can use to enhance and improve any type of sound. These videos are for those who already have an understanding of how synths work and the terminology used for identifying their features and functions. Finished presets are also included!

These synth sound design videos are shown using Xfer Serum, arguably one of the most popular virtual synth instruments available today, but the info can be applied to any virtual or hardware synth. Thomas also uses some 3rd party effects including the free Tal Chorus LX and OTT compressor, as well as "paid for" Native Instruments Transient Master and Fab Filter Saturn. These are used to "finish" the sounds, but you can use any chorus, compressor, transient or saturation plug-in to get similar results.

Thomas begins by welcoming you and goes over what the video tutorials will cover, and then starts with the bottom end, showing you how to setup and build punch basses, FM basses and 808 bass patches from scratch, and then uses different techniques to develop them further, such as adding filters, volume and pitch modulation, compression, effects and more.

Throughout the rest of the videos you'll see similar techniques shown to craft and improve lead and arpeggiated synths, synth keys and pads, and even how to synthesize kicks and snares from scratch using your synth.

To see what these comprehensive synth sound design tutorials show you, and how they'll enable you to build and expand your synth sounds, see the individual synth sound design video tutorial descriptions on this page.

I'm so impressed!. The instructor is not just another skilful guy explaining how to set nobs and envelopes to get cool sounds from Serum. Instead, this guy is a very serious professional in sound design. Thank you. So helpful!

Tutor says that while he's using Serum you'll be able to follow along with most kinds of synths. Personally I had trouble with this using Ableton stock synths and plugins.

As I am still early on in learning about synthesis, just have to say how helpful I found this course in terms of synthesizing (sorry) what I know so far alongside getting me more comfortable working in Serum. The instructor is very easy to listen to and follow. Definitely feel like I got a lot out of it...thank you!!!

This course is great to help you understand how to get create great sounding sounds that can get your track going. Extremely helpful. :)
