How To Layer Supersaws So They Actually Sound Amazing (A Pro Way)

[@brockobama2599]

this is what i asked for finaly a person who can make supersaws i was watching dylan tallchief's video of virtual riot and i wanted to make a supersaw similar to riot's but sadly dylan didn't explain it how to do it luckly this video got uploaded and i am realy happy to learn something that i was lookig for months now thank you for bringing back my creativity again to life

you don't always have to use the bottom note for the bass, try using other notes in the chord to give a different feel

[@dedrxbbit7549]

Typically, I don’t do a whole lot of mixing with my supersaw stacks. If you want everything to sound thick, I recommend using 5 or 6 layers in total: clean sub, mid bass (thick crunchy low-mids with subs and highs cut out), 2-3 chord stacks, and a crazy arpeggio (to keep some movement). If you use 3 chord stacks, make one of them with a phaser effect for even more movement. Adjust volumes as you see fit. Each chord stack should be slightly different. I recommend playing around with the unison width, octave, and waveform. Even make your own waveform if you wanna be fancy!

[@mcgritty8842]

We got a pro over here!!!!!!

[@Letsynthesize]

This is perfect technique for future bass!

[@Mboyddr1]

Yup. This is exactly how you do it. This is THE BEST way. Too many tutorials on KZbin with strange methods and tricks like not showing you the post processing. Love how Ovrsmpld shows himself dropping OTT and actually touching the knobs the way he likes it. Same with the flavor he put on the bass layer. alright i'm outta here, great stuff.

[@italyisntreal]

this sounds weirdly sexual

[@InspirAspir]

Always look forward to your uploads - this is an outstanding tutorial. Appreciate seeing it all come together from scratch, and the final result is exactly what I've been looking for. Excited to try this out myself 😀

[@klicks9026]

This is the most underrated music production guide video of all time. Change my mind

[@CamitoHatsune]

I was always afraid of layering for some reason, I thought one sound would be enough. But I see your side

[@Oversampled]

I thought the same at the beginning. Virtual Riot taught me that layering gives more beef to the sound

[@Eliandhimself]

Layering is one of those subtle details that make your track sound significantly more professional

[@SyntheticFuture]

I'd say it all depends. If you have a vst that has a bunch of oscillators or sound generators you can have every part of the spectrum covered in one sound. I'd say it's a matter of experimentation.

[@ambedo_bass]

Hey, do you think you could to a part 2 to this tutorial and maybe go over how to make one or a few of the layers like the ones you demonstrated near the middle of your tutorial. Maybe go over how to specifically approach building a preset that is intended for stacking in super saw layers? That would be super helpful!

[@Oversampled]

🤔 Maybe

[@majkistyle]

Nice, but what about processing the group as a whole? Maybe a little bit of multiband compression would help them to be more cohesive-sounding and glue them together?

[@Oversampled]

It's up to you how you process the whole group. I sometimes use OTT sometimes it sounds good enough to me to not use any effects

[@Dan-pq1tp]

[@jannick4436]

Good video. But you have to mix the layers (EQ and stuff like that) and thats also an important part that you could have showed a bit more detailed.

[@boi829]

*PLEASE MAKE THIS A FULL TRACK*

[@cid340]

Thank you for these tutorials. They are very clear yet thorough. Out of curiosity: why did you choose to use xfer's OTT plug in instead of Ableton's own? Is there an advantage to the third party plugin over the original?

[@cherryberry4088]

thanks a lot mate! I'm making future bass track now and your videos help me a lot! I subscribed thanks x

[@parkerginn4256]

Keep up the good work brotha! Would you ever do a video on your methods for writing chord progressions for future bass?

[@wibbletonwobs9150]

seconded ^^^

[@Oversampled]

I get requests for that type of video, so I probably will! . . . But first of all.. I'll have to figure out How To Music Theory 🤔

[@gravitacion7412]

Glad you're still there ! Great video !

[@nitroanilinmusic]

Nice video, though I wonder if you can even consider the bass as part of the supersaw. I'm still learning, but the latest pad I made used a similar process, and it was my best yet. I'd add that sometimes changing the chords of individual layers may help to avoid clutter, it did for me at least.

[@wibbletonwobs9150]

Your chords are amazing, but maybe you could do a tutorial on the music theory? Sure it's easy to make a basic progression, but it's a struggle to make an actually interesting progression, at least for me.

[@Oversampled]

Damn, I don't know much about music theory itself :P I write chords by ear. I use minor, major chords, 7ths, 9ths, I usually invert some chords and double some notes up/down an octave

[@wibbletonwobs9150]

same, I'm impressed that you got your example progression in the video to sound directional though, like it's not just a super basic 2-4 chord loop. my progressions usually sound random and aimless.

[@xao5378]

@@wibbletonwobs9150 The example chord progression is from a MIDI chord progression pack. I definitely know this, because when I first heard it, I loved it so much that I learned how to play it on the piano. I think it was from Cymatics, but I'm unsure.

[@xao5378]

WibbletonWobs Okay I found it on my iMac. It’s a midi chord progress by Cymatics from the Who Came After pack titled “WCA - Epic Progression 3.” It’s a nice chord progression, so go get it, the pack is a free download.

raenu just freeze / flatten the tracks as you go and the computer will process them as audio files when playing your track.

I noticed you used OTT. Serum's onboard EQ is practically OTT. Do you find the standalone OTT better than the onboard EQ?

[@Oversampled]

Yeah, sounds better for me

[@thunderlightcreations568]

Oversampled Also, why not use the integrated Ableton OTT rather than the vst?

[@jasonmalcolmgibbins]

OTT started in Ableton. Then Steve Duda cloned it. Then he also included in Serum. Why did you use the plugin version? Also, guys it's a multiband compressor not an EQ.
