Read MoreI've had Serum since it came out and I've seen lots of tutorials with different views I think this is a very straightforward lesson on the popular synth, and one thing I like about this lesson is the different scenarios he goes over while using the synth and explains on how to use it which can be a big difference than just rehashing the information anyone can find in the manual def read that too cause it's important so awesome sauce here!

Read MoreAs a beginner to Serum, I learned so much in just a few days of going through the videos and taking notes. Sam did a great job of going through the important aspects and adding nuance - which is much better than reading through the manual and having to comb through the un-important stuff / perform trial and error by one's self.

Read MoreI've briefly touched on some Serum tutorials online via youtube and some other online content. I found that they either really rush through a lot of their content along with a lot of assumed knowledge or just dragged content not focusing on key points and not keeping the viewer engaged. Sam manages to get straight to the point covering all the important features of Serum and breaks it down with clear use of language at an easy to follow pace. Learnt more in just being one hour into this course than the wasted hours of youtube content that never really led anywhere and didn't really cover the important features to learn.

Read MoreSam breaks down all the functions and features of Serum. This is more than a fundamental learning course for anyone interested in mastering this synth. He's amazing at deconstructing sounds and I would especially recommend this to any producer interested in the bass house sub genre. This course is easily worth 2-3x what it's advertised at. It filled the gaps in my knowledge and saved countless hours of YouTube tutorials from less knowledgeable sources. If you want more proof, check out Sam's Spotify, with millions of streams, you'll see why this course is an absolute steal. Thanks again for sharing this course with us!
