Join us from sunny L.A. as we interview Steve Duda, the creator of the ubiquitous LFO tool as well as one of the most talked about soft synths in recent times.. SERUM.
Steve is a self taught programmer and has released many plugins over the last 7 years under his Xfer records brand. He is also known as one half of BSOD with some guy called Deadmau5 and has mixed records for the likes of Wiil I Am, and collaborated with Funkagenda and Digitalism.
Here he talks about how he got started in the business, Serums difficult birth and how he approaches mixing for other artists.
yep, the interview content was great but due to the level differences it was a very uncomfortable listening experience and after awhile i was only listening to the answers. I highly recommend this be reworked and reuploaded for other people.
wow! 10 years later and this is still an incredibly useful and deep conversation. It mixes history lesson with origin story, drops deep knowledge on still relevant plugins (Voxengo, Cytomic, and DMG Audio which I never knew about), dives into fascinating look at Serum, and gives actionable advice on mixing, production, and being true to oneself as an artist. If you haven’t watched this then set aside the time and dive in!!!
