![]() The only criticism some people have is that it’s not the best for analogue sounds - and while I admit it’s not the best suited for that, you can download analog synth wavetables (I’ve gotten some great free ones on Reddit), utilize a few tricks like modulating the fine pitch and noise, and you’re already 99% of the way there. ![]() It excels at those as well as squeaky clean, melodic sounds and everything in between. ![]() ![]() Spire is a great synth, but it’s hard to make any “dirty” sounds (like what you hear in dubstep, hybrid trap, complextro, etc.) whereas Serum is totally limitless.
