Подробнее о видео

▶▶ Download my free Sound Design Bible (FREE) to learn expert sound design: . In this sound design tutorial, I show you the 8 most common sound design mistakes I see producers making – and how to avoid or fix them.

Sound design - whether by using audio, samples or a synth - is a key skill for all music producers to learn. In this tutorial, we’ll go through some basic sound design workflow techniques, as well as digging into the nuts and bolts of analysing and creating sounds using Serum.

You can use these exact techniques in Vital as well as Serum - and follow the sound design principals in pretty much any synthesiser or sampler - including those that come with your DAW.

You’ll learn some synth basics, some sound design principals as well as some more advanced sound design techniques.
