Absolutely Perfect

This synth is everything you need to make everything in your track. It even can produce drums, which is insane for a synth like this. There's not much else, it's just so so versatile. It will suit any style you need it too, and as long as you know synths in general, it's really easy to navigate and understand and use.

Absolutely magnificent

Great for growls and FM work, not a big fan of the low pass and high pass filters.

First of all, the fact this is a plugin Deadmau5's friend Steve Duda programmed makes me love it even more, but honestly, it's insanely great! The quality is hot, and there is no limit to what you can create using it!

I'm always using it to create sounds that reflect my personality and such. They're fresh and unique, and resemble me. I mostly make analog type sounds, but I've made experimental sounds as well. I never use presets, besides the presets I made myself. I see using other peoples sounds as cheating, so that's why I'm so hardcore.

The best plugin I've ever used

Serum is seriously the best plugin I've ever worked with. I bought Massive and FM8 in November of 2014, and they taught me the basics of both Wavetable and FM Synthesis respectively. However - I always felt restricted with NI Massive and I've never been able to create the sound I wanted with it. Then I bought Serum. Serum is not only a wavetable synthesizer, you can do FM in it as well. You can import samples and turn them into wavetables, and so so much more. It is the best plugin I've ever used and I aim to make it my main source of power in my studio. It is a 10/10 plugin.

Stunning

The sounds are so crisp and unique. The GUI is to die for and gives a good overview of the phase of each modulator at a given moment. The ability to create new wavetables is cool and the ability to morph them is even better. Gotta love the rich filters and the incredible effects. This synth is really all you need. However, it's a bit heavy in RAM and is quite heavy on your CPU, but as long as you're bouncing often, you should be fine using Serum a lot.

Superb Synth

I've been using serum for 3 years now, never had a negative experience with it, (other than that pads eat up my cpu lololol). But it's fairly easy to use, and fun to learn, the standard soundbanks are also superb.

Easy to learn, cool variety of sounds, 9/10

I hated massive as a wavetable synthesizer because I didn't understand the routers and it's display is disgusting to my eyes. So when I found out about serum I was very impressed. I love making my own wavetables it's easy to use and can get some cool sounds out of it. My one issue with it is that it uses to much cpu. I have an intel core quad running at 3.6 GHz (Q6600) and some sounds I make use 33% of the cpu which means I can't layer synths over each other made with serum and it leaves little room for other plugins.

Simply awesome

I love serum, it can be used for anything, the best thing about it is the unlimited possibilities, my favorite thing about serum is that you can import your own wavetables, which makes it great. I love the filter drive, it sounds so great especially when you have a sawtooth wave and add a lowpass, then add the drive and it sounds fantastic :)

However a few things I don't like about serum are;

• The flanger sounding "airy"
• The chorus sounding "airy"
• The distortion unit using a limiter and doesn't sound really analogue and loud
• The routing
• You cant use the same effect multiple times
• Theres no option to use two filters in parallel mode, only serial.
• The CPU usage can get high if you're not bridged

But however despite all these, it's a great synth and worth every penny.

If you dont have it already. Buy it.

Serum is the best plugin. Hands down (In My Opinion) this is because the plugin is so versatile, has the best user interface out of the lot and works with the wavetable systems that people used to only dream about.

Serum is capable of making just about any sound known to man and this is why it is in the successful position its in now, not to mention the amazing default sounds that come as stock and the easy to use interface. It's my favorite plugin and I'm sure its many other people's as well.

My Massive Replacement

I started using FM8 so that I could stray away from Massive (I really don't like the sound of it very much), but I found that I couldn't use it for leads with my knowledge of FM. I picked up Serum while it was on sale in the first month, and I am not disappointed. With just a saw wave, envelopes, LFOs, and the built in effects, I am able to create a ton of unique sounds. Warning: using the default saw wave will cause you to make a lot of Deadmau5 like sounds. Not that that's a bad thing.
