do you think the 25 usd version worth it?

True! The free version is limited in this capacity but definitely a feature worth checking out.

Hey!

@@bluefire9113 Yo wassup! ✌🏻

@@adk_studios try Caelum audio flux mini, new sidechain plugin

tbh I feel much more productive in serum tho

As to monetization, they have paid and subscription packages as well.

If you subscribe for $5 a month, that $5 each month gets added to your store account as credit. I'm using it to save up for the pro package, while still getting other subscriber perks in the meantime! Ftr the paid packages are mostly presets and wavetables, etc. If you're a sound designer and/or not too fussed about having loads of presets, the free version is all you need

It eats much more less CPU then serum. Though in some pc it is higher coz of some bugs.. Matt the developer is working on the issue

@@kedskies thanks for information

Vital crashes a lot doh bcz it is still new

Any synths (free or not) now a days are up to high quality standard, even Synth1 you can make trance music to growling sounds, it will all depends to your skills how good you are in sound design, if you only rely on presets then you have 10years ahead of learning something in music...

@@yasunakaikumi thanks, its a good thing that I know about sound design then

Almost everything

The good part is that lots of the things you know in Serum can be carried over without much translation to Vital! The biggest difference by far is that Vital has true dual filters (and in an initialized patch, oscillator 2 is routed to filter 2). This is one of the things I missed the most when I moved from Massive to Serum because it can give you all kinds of cool stereo options. The most important thing however is not to learn a particular synth - it's to learn synthesis in general :)

His first statement was "I don't really know what is a wave table" beside when the tipe of synthesis is define as "insane sound" you know that it will be a "feeling" review not a texnical review...he is also adresing skin a look before even reviewing the oscillator...

@@paul-emilejocelynjean809 he said if you don't know what a wavetable synth is...

yeah it's multiple artificial technological learning algorithms

You can very easily use Serum's wavetables in Vital. Although I do agree that they sound different. I can't tell if that's a bad thing or a good thing! 😶

Fair point, probably could have turned the other 2 off

Vital was just released, third party presets come with time

@@SpektralJo - I know that. The point I was trying to make, is that the difference in price accounts for that fact.

Vital just got released. Allow the third party sound designers some time. Many do not know about this synth, yet. Then they will actually need some time to make these patches. It's way to early to make any judgement on the availability of patches. Also, most patches are used over and over again and people may get sick hearing them. I see i n these patches more a starting points for my own sound design. In this case, it does not really matter, if there are 400 patches or 10,000 patches.

@@WTrager What do you mean? Serum is worth the money cause there are more presets available atm?

@@ileryon4019 - I never said that Serum was worth the money. Please show me when I typed out that statement. In fact, I NEVER even implied it. I truly hate it when someone twists someone's words in an effort to demean and hurt that person on a social media platform- I said : "I know that. The point I was trying to make, is that the difference in price accounts for that fact." There is no question that Vital is a great value. At the Pro-level for $80.00, it offers quite a bit more of a value compared to Serum at more than double the price. I was referring to 3rd party presets. The fact is; a well known producer that makes their living at producing for the elite performing artists out there is going to use several subscription services as well as Serum with thousands of sound presets and wavetables available to them, usually via a subscription service. Price for them is no object. Now, for me - Vital is perfect. The Pro-package would definitely work for me, and I can wait until 3rd party developers come on board with Vital wavetables and presets.

Can you say whether Vital sounds more thin? I can’t tell in some demos whether it sounds thin, or maybe it’s the reverb or maybe it’s just clean.

@@unknownfilmmaker777 It definitely does. Vital is weaker than serum is. I can say though, for a free synth, it's pretty great.

Haha yep the CPU is killer on both

Why? Do you still use Mountain Lion or a 32 bit OS or have a super weak processor? Both require a current 64 bit Windows or Mac OS. Vital is even available for Linux. Serum still runs under Windows 7 (which you should not use anymore for security reasons). Only thing which might be an issue in some setups is Vital's OpenGL requirement. If you can't run any of these plugins, consider an upgrade of your hardware and/or OS, because there is probably a lot of other stuff, which doesn't run properly. For music production, you don't want a slow PC anyways. I know, it sucks to spend money on a new PC. If it's only the OS and your PC has a 64 bit processor, you of course can switch to Linux. But the software industry is very slow in supporting Linux with their DAWs and VSTs. So, you may have to switch to other software or try to get it running using emulators like Wine. I personally did not dare to switch to Linux for music production, yet.

@@Engineeer I am just 14 years old and my computer was bought in 2008 and it's even rare, that the computer is still working and there are 0 OpenGL and I can't even upgrade it.

@@arulk4800 Wow, that's a really old computer. Do you know the detailed CPU, GPU, RM size and Operating System specs? Generally a computer from 2008 is suboptimal for music production with most modern tools. Complex synths like Serum and Vital need a lot of CPU power. There are lighter synths out there, which aren't as powerful, but still make good sounds. You may check out Synth 1. I use this old and light synth all the time. daichilab.sakura.ne.jp/softsynth/index.html (Just ignore the Japanese text and scroll down to the downloads.)

@@Engineeer But I use ToneZ , BTW thanks

Yeah if youre a noob

I need just a half oscillator...

@@ap7390 you only need three if you just sit around making bleep bloops. music doesn't require all that.

Interesting opinion. Though Serum really is an industry standard and espacially nowadays, many "Hits" are made with Serum espacially the EDM stuff. I absolutely admire Serum for its wide usability. It kinda fits everywhere if you know how to use it. From vintage to modern, it gives you nearly everything you can imagine. Can you recommend any synths you had "love at first sound"? Would like to explore your concern with sound pressure and character.

Try pigments. Wt has been around a long time. Sits nice in analog/digital sound. Like already stated. What style of music?

dj mag top 100 look at the top 10 artists they all use serum, what you said is incredibly braindead&delusional

I use test equipment .if you want a sound with character start there.

LOL
