Rated 0.5 out of 5 by from No different from youtube tutorials This series of videos should not be called "EDM Sound Design with Serum", it should be called "Watch guy make 7 different sounds in Serum". Does very little to explain why he's doing the things he does or what the knobs are actually doing.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Very Inspiring! It was fun and informative to go through this series and get a sort of hands-on look at sound design in Serum for practical use. It's like getting experience, or reps in Serum, but guided by someone who actually knows what they're doing. This series helped me internalize conceptually what is happening in Serum so that when I go to create my own sounds, I can know what I'm doing without spending too much time with trial and error. I can cut right to the sort of sound I want to create and have enough understanding of the controls to fine tune my sound to exactly what I'm after.
