Serum Presets: Week 96 | Bass House is BACK

Ayooo

Got 10 new johnsons here for ya. Really feel like bass house is coming back in a big way (it never really left, it was just disguised as tech house to fit in)

Going through all of my sample packs, I think it's clear that where I've been lacking the MOST is Snare drums. I'm thinking I'm gonna do a sample pack with 10 really good, very usable dialed in snares, and then some extra percussion 1 shots on the side. Dropping next week <3

I'm back baby

Serum Presets - Week 94 | Happy Holidays

I did a few song recreations here that have been on my mind. But overall these are just 20 bangin sounds. I tapped back into some design methods I've done in the past. Starting to get back in tune with the sound designer I once was. Really feeling good about this. 20 for missing a week and the holiday. Love you!

I'm thinking some time in January after the holiday storm. Will be posting about it on my socials right now regardless.

There's an 808 and a knock bass in here that are absolutely banging. Got some new leads/synths going. Stepped back into some techniques from like 30 packs ago lol.

Gonna try to hone in on another artist pack soon!

Serum Presets: Week 90 | Bass Accents 3 [WITH NEW WAVETABLES]

Ayoooo i did the thing again. Made 10 saucey new textures with ChatGPT. It's getting really good at it, and I'm getting good at modifying them to make a good multitable.

Make sure you drop these in your "Tables" folder of your Serum Presets larger folder. These presets all use the new wavetables.

Hope you dig!

GROVE ST. PARTY (BASS VIP) [Patreon Exclusive]

Not gonna lie ya'll, I'm always busy, but the last week has been the busiest of my life. I'm about to hop on the road for 3 days working for an artist I've looked up to for years. It's been a long week of prep.

I have a new batch of presets almost finished. I created more Bass Accent Swellers because I need more for my own music. I need to make 4 more, and I might be busy the next couple days, so I wanted to drop this to hold you over.

I've been opening my bigger sets with this an...

Proper Serum Presets - Week 88 | ANCHORS (+read for a lil lesson)

I used to talk about ANCHORS all the time but haven't mentioned it much recenty.

If you haven't heard me talk about it, an ANCHOR is a sound that holds the whole song together. A sound that the entire song could be recognized by. A sound that could drive the idea and writing behind the whole track.

I'd say about 95% of great dance tracks have an identifiable anchor synth. Most commonly it's the lead. But it could also be a specific bass layer, or a weird sequence or percussion, or...

Proppa's Ultimate Social Media Guide

Up until recently I’ve been a bit reluctant to talk to you guys about social media content. Sure, I’ve always been able to make and post content semi-regularly. But my ratio of followers to engagement never proved that I was good at it. I don’t know how it just clicked, or why i decided to start really caring, but recently I’ve had a few epiphanies concerning social media. Since these epiphanies, I’ve had 2 viral videos and a few semi-viral videos on both Instagram and TikTok. My en...
