Serum In Depth (Skillshare)

This is a knob by knob breakdown of Xfer Serum for beginners wanting to learn every basic feature in the synth and how they work. Let me know if there are any questions and I'd be happy to answer them.

Design a sound of your choice using some of the features we learned about in the lesson. If you understand how the oscillator tab works try using some basic automation to make your sound more expressive. To take it a step further try integrating a sound you designed into a track you're working on.

Music as Biology: What We Like to Hear and Why (Coursera)

The course will explore the tone combinations that humans consider consonant or dissonant, the scales we use, and the emotions music elicits, all of which provide a rich set of data for exploring music and auditory aesthetics in a biological framework. Analyses of speech and musical databases are consistent with the idea that the chromatic scale (the set of tones used by humans to create music), consonance and dissonance, worldwide preferences for a few dozen scales from the billions that are possible, and the emotions elicited by music in different cultures all stem from the relative similarity of musical tonalities and the characteristics of voiced (tonal) speech.
