Interesting timing - I just posted a new song and, as expected, several young, new, and unknown producers on another forum told me to get rid of my "cheesy" supersaw lead. My reaction - just what I wanted to hear because I've learned over the years that other producers are not my target audience and usually (but not always) when they tell me that something is cheesy, that my dance music-loving friends and other non-producers who hear it will at least like it, if not love it.
Young producers are so caught up with the notion that everything has to be "original" and "new" that they fail to realize that (a) nothing they are doing is original, new, or trend-setting, and (b) the majority of non-producers don't care. Think about it - how often do you hear something that is totally original, doesn't sound like some out-of-this-world trash, and can fill a dance floor? Almost never?
The death of the supersaw has been foretold for many years, but it still seems to keep on thriving - that's no accident, my friends. To me, the supersaw is the glue that binds the cheesy genre known as trance together, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I say embrace it and focus on what you can do with it, not what you can't, and don't worry about what other producers think (unless they're your target audience).
Viva la supersaw!  |

Let us oppose it to the end.' (Eddie Zilker, 2009  ) |
I actually used a supersaw synth - very, very sparingly, in one of my tunes. I'd like to hear the song, if I haven't heard it yet. Did you post it in the Producer's Promotion forum? (I'll look, but it's flooded with a number of songs posted since last week.)
