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 :D
Yeah, that Usher tune lead synth was pretty outdated, I think it was a preset from Nord Lead 2, detuned saw with some legato (maybe a bit of unison).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! :D |

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. :disbelief |

| 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. |

no the one with Justin Timberlake, quite a recent and decent track.
But Usher is a similar example :). |

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