Utilize oscilloscope and spectral views for dynamic analysis
Problem: incomplete audio analysis
Switching between oscilloscope and spectral views in the plugin provides a comprehensive look at both time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics. The oscilloscope helps identify transients and amplitude modulation,…
Use granular/spectral processing for independent pitch/time control
Problem: inability to adjust pitch without affecting timing
Advanced tools use granular or spectral processing to separate pitch and time. This allows pitch shifting without altering timing (or vice versa), useful for re-pitching vocals without changing rhythm or tuning loops to…
Use spectral mode to shape the frequency content of a sound
Problem: frequency clashes or lack of clarity
Serum’s spectral mode allows for precise frequency shaping by visualizing the sound’s spectrum. The speaker uses this to carve out space for other elements or enhance specific frequencies. This is particularly useful for…
Use granular synthesis with spectral drawing for texture
Problem: limited textural options in synthesis
Serum 2's granular synthesis allows sampling and manipulating audio textures. By loading a sample (e.g., glass), enabling granular mode, and using the spectral option, you can draw frequency points to shape the sound.…
