Troubleshooting Tips

Skin Not Appearing: Ensure that the skin folder contains all required files and is not nested within another subfolder. It should include essential directories like '1x' and '2x', along with additional necessary files. The structure of a typical skin folder resembles the screenshot below, and it should be located within the 'Skins' directory found at:

macOS: ~/Library/Audio/Presets/Xfer Records/Serum Presets/Skins/
Windows: C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\Xfer\Serum Presets\Skins\

• DAW Restart and Computer Reboot: After placing the skin files, it's often essential to restart your DAW to ensure Serum recognizes the new skin. Additionally, a simple computer reboot can sometimes resolve any recognition issues with the newly installed skin.
