Apply saturation to multiple instruments for harmonic cohesion
Problem: disconnected instrument timbres
Boost second harmonic (G2) in key for tonal cohesion
Problem: disconnected, atonal low-end
Use saturation for harmonic enhancement in mastering
Problem: lifeless, flat mix
Add bitcrusher for harmonic character without distortion
Problem: sound lacks character
Boost mid-range or add harmonics to enhance bass intelligibility
Problem: bass lacks clarity, buried in mix
Modify first harmonic of bass to match kick's key
Problem: inharmonic bass conflicting with kick
Use wavetable editor to adjust harmonics
Problem: muddy or undefined synth tones
Set oscillator mode to 'harmonics' for precise harmonic control
Problem: inability to shape specific harmonics
Saturation adds harmonic overtones that enhance emotional impact
Problem: lack of emotional depth or contrast in mixes
Use harmonic series for rich, natural harmonics
Problem: thin or lifeless sound
Remove the fundamental frequency from a waveform to thin it out
Select specific wave tables from Serum's analog section for unique harmonic tones
Problem: time-consuming sound design process
Layer saws with detuned octaves for harmonic richness
Problem: Creating a rich, harmonic lead sound
Apply disperser at 330Hz for harmonic richness
Problem: lack of harmonic presence in kick
Use saturation to add harmonic richness and fatten bass
Problem: Thin or lifeless bass tones
Use unison for thickness but balance with harmonic content
Problem: overly loud or thin pad
Apply Valhalla Shimmer for harmonic enhancement
Problem: thin pads, lack of harmonic richness
Balance sounds with harmonic excitation
Problem: thin or disconnected vocal/instrument balance
Use bitcrushing to add harmonic texture to shakers
Problem: thin, sterile percussion layers
Use EQ to reduce excessive harmonics when they cause ringing
Problem: excessive ringing from harmonics
Avoid over-processing resonating frequencies unless necessary
Problem: over-EQing leading to unnatural sound
