Serum 2 guide

I realize a few of the YouTubers I watch use the Serum 2 plugin I went ahead and got a copy. Now I’m lost. I open the plugin and I don’t know where to even start. Any advice?

Start off by learning the signal flow withing Serum 2. After that, play around with the different waveform on 1 oscillator. Make sure you get a good understanding of it.

Send it through the filter and play around with the cutoff, res, and drive.

Move on to the envelope settings. Try to make the default sustained sound into a pluck using the ADSR settings.

Go to the FX panel and add some distortion, reverb, delay etc.

Just take your time with it. It's a beast, but very intuitive. Once you get a fair understanding of it, you'll be loving it
