Tech house production is built on precision โ the bass needs to groove without cluttering the low end, the stabs need edge without harshness, and every element needs to serve the track’s primary function: making people move. TechSonic โ Tech-House Presets for Xfer Serum 2 delivers 70 presets designed with that functional purpose at their core, drawing inspiration from the artists who define tech house’s current sound at the highest level.
The tech house sounds that dominate club nights and festival stages right now have a specific character โ the punchy, groove-forward bass of Chris Lake’s productions, the sharp, energetic stabs of James Hype’s sound, and the overall mix clarity that makes tech house work at massive volumes on powerful sound systems. TechSonic was developed by studying this character and translating it into 70 production-ready Serum 2 presets.
The bass collection โ 20 dedicated bass presets โ is the pack’s centerpiece. Tech house production rises and falls on the quality of its bass sounds, and TechSonic’s bass presets were engineered to deliver maximum groove with maximum mix compatibility. The brass presets add a distinctive, organic element that’s become increasingly important in the genre’s contemporary sound.
TechSonic was designed for productions that work in club contexts โ every preset was evaluated at volume on monitor systems to ensure it performs as intended when the music is loud and the dance floor is full.
Requires Xfer Serum 2. 100% royalty-free for all commercial use.
