Why Thump 808s for Serum Stands Out

This 808 pack is designed with both versatility and high-fidelity sound quality in mind. Here’s what makes Thump 808s for Serum a valuable resource for any producer:

• Designed for Modern Genres: Whether you’re making trap, drill, hip-hop, or EDM, these 808s are crafted to suit the current soundscape. The variety of tones—from smooth subs to harsh distortions—ensures you have the right tool for any beat.
• Ready to Use and Customize: The presets are designed to sound great straight out of the box, allowing you to drop them into your projects and get an instant, professional sound. However, they also offer extensive customization options through Serum’s macros and modulation system, providing room for tweaking and tailoring each preset to your specific needs.
• Serum’s Sound Design Power: By utilizing Serum’s advanced synthesis capabilities, these 808s go beyond simple one-shot samples. You can modify parameters like wavetable position, filter cutoff, and effects to create evolving 808s that bring a fresh dynamic to your tracks.

Tips for Using Thump 808s for Serum in Your Production

Here are some tips to get the most out of this preset pack in your beats:

• Layer and Mix: Try layering a clean sub 808 with a distorted one to create a complex bass sound that covers both the low and mid frequencies. This technique can help your bassline stand out while still providing that deep, chest-thumping sub.
• Experiment with Macros: Many of these presets come with assigned macros that control various aspects like distortion amount, glide time, and filter cutoff. Use these macros to shape the 808’s tone to fit the vibe of your track, whether you want a smooth, gliding bassline or a gritty, distorted thump.
• Modulate for Movement: Utilize Serum’s LFOs and envelopes to add movement to the 808s. For instance, assigning an LFO to the wavetable position or distortion mix can introduce a subtle pulsating effect that makes the 808 feel more alive and dynamic.
