How to Install Serum Presets
Step 1: Download The Pack
First, download your desired preset packs. As an example, here I’ll be unzipping and using Gravitas Create’s Mutate – Hybrid Trap sample pack.
Step 2: Unzip/Extract Preset
When you first download a pack, they typically come in a zip or rar file – these are compressed folders that make it easier to compile files together and easily download them at once. However, once they’ve been downloaded, they need to be properly “unzipped” to be accessed and utilized via serum.
*You may need to download winzip or winrar if you don’t see this prompt.
To unzip the files, extract the files to right-click on the .zip or .rar file,
Once the files have been extracted and unzipped correctly, drag/drop them to your serum preset directory
See C:Users___DocumentsXferSerum PresetsPresets/User
On a mac, the process is essentially the same but you will use Mac’s native zip program.
The default Serum Presets folder on a Mac will be found at /Library/Audio/Presets/Xfer Records/Serum Prests/Presets/User.
Step 3: Open DAW and Serum
Once your daw is up, do the following in serum:
Right-click on MENU in the top right
Select “Show Serum Presets Folder”
Confirm Serum Presets are in the file directory
(You may want to move your downloaded presets to the default serum preset location, ie. 0:48 on video)
