ni guang xin Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 mine would be "long way down" and "wizard of the beat", both produced or co-produced by W&W, just sound really really epic to me, it's insane, i have no idea how they managed to get that dope lead.

fuzzfilth Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Personally I can't stand supersaws, but I totally dig the bass sounds Tony Levin had on Peter Gabriel's So, as aptly demonstrated here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0B02 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I had no idea what a 'supersaw' is. (But there, any expression with the word 'super' in it makes my teeth grate. Same as when people use the word 'dope' to mean 'good'). So I set out on a journey of discovery and now I have found out what a 'supersaw' is. It's a sound that has been absolutely done to death, especially for those of us old enough to have been musicians through the 80s and 90s. Let's all raise a glass to pursuing originality over cliche! Personally I can't stand supersaws, but I totally dig the bass sounds Tony Levin had on Peter Gabriel's So, as aptly demonstrated here: I was playing bass through an octave pedal, a Boss CE2 chorus and a Boss CE2B bass chorus (the brown one with the skirts on the knobs) in the late 1980s and all my musical peers thought I was nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
znull Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Nothing wrong with some supersaw, I think it's a matter of how you use it in a composition and knowing how to program one without it sounding incredibly cheese, I personally can't really stand the way a lot of mainstream EDM does supersaws but I can't imagine much 'programming' happening in there anyway There's a lot of examples in my head but it's hard to say 'supersaw' and not think of Lorenzo Senni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0B02 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 without it sounding incredibly cheese Sounds like the vast majority of EDM to me I can't get over the EDM obsession with 808 drum sounds. I'm old enough (just about!) to remember when the 808 came out and we thought it sounded terrible. My opinion hasn't changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ni guang xin Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 i absolutely love 808, trap hi-hats, snare risers, supersaws, and reverb drenched piano, but just like you guys said, these sounds are really overused, but then again, i can't think of any sound that could actually replace these overused gems.
