How to Make a Dancefloor DnB Bass in Serum 2

Serum 2 makes it super easy to make those dancefloor DnB basses that artists like MUZZ and Metrik use all the time.

My notes from this Short

01

Only a saw with zero randomization

You only need a saw wave with zero randomization. I take envelope 1 down a little bit to control the volume. The effects stay simple too, just a soft saturation and a little bit of high shelf boost.

02

A pluck envelope on the EMS Ladder

Put envelope 2 on BPM with 1/8 for the decay and make it go down a little bit, so it looks like a pluck. I assign it to the cutoff of the new EMS Ladder, which is amazing, and add some resonance and a little bit of drive. On filter 1, take the Diffusor and make sure you add a bunch of stages.
