Maybe you guys aren't aware but the EDM scene is definately the scene that pushes the production techniques used in every other type of music. I'm a composition major in university and i show alot of electronic stuff to the guys doing the masters in sound engineering and it is kinda funny how clueless alot of people are. I guess it was just a thought about some things we take for granted , are things that most people in the more mainstream field of music will never get.

Its kinda interesting to hear the things you hear in trance , house and the other genres pop up in mainstream music years later. Anyone remember that Usher tune ? the one that uses that crappy saw trance synth that might of been used in like 1999 for EDM.

Anyways , i thought i would give you guys a thumbs up for doing something that most people at my school consider retarded.

Nice! Never would have thought

Yeah, that Usher tune lead synth was pretty outdated, I think it was a preset from Nord Lead 2, detuned saw with some legato (maybe a bit of unison). I never understood why people like that song so much.

Thanks for the thumbs up!

there are a few guys doing it right, timbaland mainly but i hear so many songs use sample cd's in their tracks. which is fine, we all do it but god damn quit treating these people like gods

maybe you guys havent noticed, or maybe its only on the west coast but EVERY rap song on the radio has a supersaw and an 808 kit these days.

It's a Lil Jon production, all his beats sound the same with 808 drums, a loud clap, and that stupid saw lead. I hate him.

How about that Justin Timberlake song "My Love" theres a stuttered saw in there.

you will find that most of the great engineers within the chart/pop area are (or were) also producers of edm or other more production demanding genre's like cutting edge modern dub or hip-hop. you need to be passionate to want to work on something enough to get skills good enough to be useful in the chart game.

I may get shot for this but I am going to admit that I don't hate the music in the track Sexy Back the vocals annoy me but that dirty saw wouldn't exist without edm.
Too bad it just repeats for the whole track.

That tune is tight.

no the one with Justin Timberlake, quite a recent and decent track.

But Usher is a similar example .

they use 808's and sawwav leads for the same reasons trance producers do.......to make a BIG sound.....hiphop or not, it sounds better in clubs

I'll prob get flamed for this, but..... agreed! U can't get a much "bigger" sound than a supersaw really.
