Incorporate granulated vocal samples for musical context
Problem: Isolated lead or atmospheric elements lacking context
Using granulated vocal samples (e.g., recorded in natural environments) with granulated reverb adds unique textural and musical context. This technique provides 'musical glue' by creating a call-and-response relationship…
Use granular noise samples for glitchy, spectral layers
Problem: Creating original, in-key spectral textures
Rendering custom glitchy layers from granular noise samples and importing them into Serum 2 allows for unique spectral textures that complement chord progressions. This method avoids relying on pre-made samples.
Utilize granular synthesis for spacey textures
Problem: limited textural options
The 'action hero' preset uses Serum's granular oscillator to create exotic, atmospheric sounds. Granular synthesis breaks audio into tiny grains, allowing for unique timbres and evolving textures. This technique is ideal…
