How to Make a Classic Hardstyle Lead in Serum

First I open Serum and get a saw wave. I add the reverb and delay for spice, and the distortion on tube distortion with the drive at 100%.

Then I get an LFO, put it from BPM to hertz and create a random LFO. I put this LFO on the fine tune at 100%, play it and find a sweet spot for it.

Then I open up the unison and put it a little bit down.

I take a filter and remove a little bit of the highs. Then I take an EQ and remove the bass, and finally add a compressor to get it down a little bit more.

To spice it up even more, I take another oscillator, open it up, open the detune and add this to the fine tune. Add more distortion if you want, it's all fine.
