I just finished the serum masterclass, was amazing 👌

Imagine what processes this man has went through to be like a self educated Serum post doc. And he is now explaining and giving away so many precious advices. Big ups - Wish you the best Au5!

He's like the Bob Ross of synthesis

That frequency shifting technique is freaking genius 👏

AU5 does what every sound design instructor should do: explain the purpose of every step. Perfect.

I've literally never seen a better growl tutorial. This is why you are my favorite artist

I ain't a sound engineer/producer, but growls are my favorite technique in EDM. Watching it get created from scratch is so satisfying

This is the best growl tutorial I’ve ever seen hands down

Jesus I'm gonna have to watch this multiple times just to absorb it. I'm reasonably decent with sound design, but it's a treat to watch a someone who's really gotten his mind all the way around a topic explaining his process.

thx for the shoutout 🧔🏻‍♂️👍🏻💚

Au5 is so cool he's wearing 2 hats at once

Whoever did the thumbnail for this one😆, awesome!

I just wanna say thank you for blessing us with your insanely vast knowledge of music production

Even if you don't make growls, there are sooo many gems in this tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing!

that frequency reshifting technique is super smart! it's like taking the sound to a new dimension and bringing it back-- it'll never be the same after that journey!

Whoa, that alt trick to switch all sources modulation using alt is awesome, I never knew that! Amazing tutorial AU5!

Not every good producer is a good teacher. But you nailed it!! And I love how you compress so much information in such a short video. Thanks Au5 , it really helps me a lot.

Au5 is too good. Anyway I may have already said, it but the vocal chop of "Follow You" is stuck with me, I love it. In fact, I remember that the splendid remixes of the EP (like the legendary Volant one), practically all used it unchanged.

THANK YOU AU5!!! I've always been a fan of your music and I just started learning production a couple months ago and when I saw your tutorials popup in recommended I was like hell yeah! Your style is pretty much what I want to go for in the first place. But not just that but your videos are very professional and a cut above the rest on youtube. Personally, I don't like all those meme filled overedited tutorials that people seem to eat up on here. To each his own but just gotta say out of everything I've seen on youtube you have the most informative and easy to follow method of teaching. Really impressive stuff and I'm for sure gonna see if I can get your masterclass it seems like its actually worth it.

Au5 is the guy I wish I could hire as a tutor. So informative, such great way of explaining things, and amazing results!

Bro you should stream! Fellow person from your town recently getting into production the last few years. You're a legend. Not only for your music, that I didn't even know was you at the time when I found you , but your talent for teaching sound design is golden. Absolutely insane the amount of understanding you have simply from listening to how you word yourself in your explanations. Enough gassing. Appreciate your help always! I'd like to try to support you one day soon for that serum class.

this is literaly the only good og/skrillex growl tutorial on youtube, i swear everyone gatekeeps the methods but this is amazing

Wooow I've been searching for this tutorial for 5 years and here it is thanks Austin 🙏

amazing breakdown, love the detailed tips!

What crazy is when you did the skrillex growel at 18min20sec the spec analyzer looks like a skull. Thats bad ass man.

Insane he drops these nuggets for us!! Thank you so much!

Au5 always killing it!! 🔥

Love it. No fancy or expensive plugins, easy to customize and follow, just serum and raw ableton.

This is one of those videos you can watch 1000 times and learn something new from it every time

This is the best growl tutorial I've ever seen in my whole life

The highend graindelay boost is gold

the mind of a genius, big respect mate

This is dope! Really in depth ❤

brilliant stuff as usual

Thanks dude! You are awesome. Love you man!

so awesome man. I appreciate these videos so much. So much in fact that I will certainly purchase this master class when I am back from Thailand Although i use LOGIC oppose to Ableton, you still got my support. RESPECT!!!!

Love your content Man!

This is nifty! As someone who doesn't have/use Serum I really gotta try and remake this entire process native to Ableton

these are really helping me, I've been naive and havnt wanted to look up tutorials in fear it would make me sound like other people. but in truth most of my original basses sound horrible. You explain these things in a way that makes me understand each knob and have made my transition from harmor to serum much better. legend, much love from Bass Capital

Swear to God this is the best growl tutorial ever made ❤️

One of my favorite EDM artists.

Exactly what i needed thank you!

rly nice growl and now lets start to watch serum masterclass :)

Epic as always

Wonderfull! best tutorial ever !

I actually don't use Serum but a lot of the concepts you teach in this video I can apply to my synths and generators as well! TY for the tips and also for making Eden, my literal favorite song of all time.

Oh shit you’re the guy who made Snowblind!! I knew your name sounded familiar. No cap that was one of my absolute favorite tracks of the 2010s. I have so many memories to that song. Thank you for making it, seriously. I’ve gotten into music production myself and you’re a huge inspiration. Can’t wait to check out your tutorials more. Hope you have a good week!

Nice job. Thank you for this. Very Optiv and BTK sound

Great editing! Very informative

The goat of sound design

I needed u 20 years ago man, making early dnb.. trying to figure out a reese and hoover.. the shit is magic nowadays. Beware of the power of the dark bass sounds.

this is my first time seeing your videos. your intro was so insane i knew i found the right video lol

my man! that is brilliant! tusm!

YOOOOY Very informative and cool tutorial! I wish you could do a similar tutorial using Vital, as that is my preferred synthesizer of choice. I can't help but be amazed at how proficient you are with synth sound design. It's just routine to you, which tells me you've put in the hours to do this like x1000 times. Very cool. Also, that frequency analyzer looks clean af. Been a listener of your music since like 2011. One love 💜

I do not own Serum, I do not do sound design but I'm subscribed to your channel since long time cause I like the way you explain this stuff and even if i do not use it that's pretty instructional and many of these concepts can be used elsewhere. So yeah, kick ass!

this could be the most useful video I've ever watched, actually

I think that this is the best serum tutorial ive probably ever seen?

This is making me seriously considering Serum.

Rewatching this a while later, I think it's important to state in 5:50 that the reason why the phaser is adding extra vocaly-ness is that the filtering curve it imparts on the sound kind of looks like a triple bell curve that, importantly, repeats itself every set frequency, a-la *formant* (google that). We make it static because we are not using the Phaser for its namesake purpose, instead we are using it as a makeshift *resonator* , with a very specific formanty character created by this filtering curve. Now knowing this, you can go forth and search for other ways to create this behavior outside of serum - you can use an EQ with a repeating curve, you can convolve the source sound with a very short and throaty sample, use an extremely short reverb with an EQ curve on the wet signal, using a parallel layer with a comb filter into a bandpass, using multiple parallel bandpasses or multiple parallel notches, use a modal resonator for maximum control, etcetcetc. The phaser is just the simplest first step :)

your intro smashes dude what

I just love how towards the end the audio visualizer kind off createsthe face of a thing that would fit this growl sound.

so sick!!!

Yesss OG growll rawrr, let's go.! :))

Au5 has the best sound design videos on KZfaq

Damn, bro. Thas good content

I've been looking after for this growl forever...

Really awesome tutorial Austin I think one thing you may wanna mess with from time to time is to put the growl in Melodyne and then formant shift it. I've tried a lot of formant shifters over the years for growl sounds and Melodyne's seemed the most genuine and high end to me for a lot of the growls. I know Zynaptiq has Morph (featured on your channel a lot) which can formant shift +/-12 and I had good results using it to further process my growls and give them a darker timbre/growl characteristic but Melodynes algorithm always seemed to have the highest fidelity. If you listen to one of the growls in Skrillex - Rock n Roll at (2:35 in the official upload) it sounds very low and guttural as if its either being pitch shifted or formant shifted I remember hearing that Sonny used Melodyne a lot back in the day (most notably for his vocal chops) but I've theorized that he might've used the formant shift in for a few of his especially dark sounding growls like the one in Rock n Roll It's a long shot for sure and chances are he never used the formant shift feature in Melodyne for growls but I'd definitely urge you to give it a try it as it can absolutely change the timbre of the growls and make them super low and aggressive sounding

Damn this is cool! I would love to see a tutorial on inharmonic basses!!

I'm ready ❤❤

this is incredible

this man is a genius

Incredible

Instant sub for the free sample pack

This is nice great post 🎉

this is the best growl tutorial

wow tthis guys experience is out of ordinary

Love the goatee

amazing!

Don't even have Serum but I found your intro funny so I stayed 😆

Super sick

I've corrupted you in the most wholesome way possible. 🤠

au5 and virtual riot tutorial episodes in one week!!!! les goo

I love this

goat of sound design

If you do not have Ableton for the grain delay to add high end grit, I used the Sin Fold distortion in Serum (not SerumFX) and set it to pre, high-passed around 88%. Have the frequency scale on the distortion to around 104 and put LFO1 to ~34. You can leave the resonance alone but I increased mine to 3.2 for a more guttural effect. Since it's a Sin Fold you don't need much drive so I set it to 11% and the mix to ~60%. This effect is subtle but it did the trick for me ;)

top shelf quality

au5 just giving these for free 🤩

A explanation of yours on topics like fm, am, pm, ring mod, etc. would be really helpful

Tip: There exists a 3rd party version of Corpus by AAS called Objeq Delay. For that throaty sound, I found that the "Beam" mode works best.

thats why he's the goat🐐

Awesome tutorial, thanks! I'm considering the master class. I use serum alot so this might help me fine tune my skills a bit more. A few I'm still a bit stumped on are really being able to fully 'bake' serum fx into a wavetable where you can clearly hear the fx, and also just getting more comfortable sending samples to the noise osc and successfully resampling that along with whatever wavetable im working on, to make a new wavetable from that.

Genius bro

I think Au5 deserved to be on Lex Fridman’s podcast tbh because IG Grimes and Kanye got a feature, can’t think of anyone more deserving

That thumbnail tho 😁✅😎

It makes sense one of the sound design GOATs resembles a literal goat. Awesome tutorial. I can't wait until I can understand it.

Dude's a straight genius

would be so sick if Steve Duda brought you onto the dev team for Serum 2...amazing tut as always.

I was like "there's no way on Earth he's not gonna use hyper dimension" and you whipped the thing out right after hahahah

great video, you got my sub and like!

hell yeah, thank you!
