I love the concept of reproducing iconic sounds that make the signature of the electronic genre! Thanks a lot!

[oguzhanaydemir]

YESSS PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES. How to make reese bass, how to make korg m1 organ, how to make gesaffelstein stabs etc. etc. Remaking classic and useful sounds.

[SzilvayPeter]

Man I love this sound so much.... When I'm not up to anything in particular, I usually play with supersaws.... They are easy to produce and sound amazing. Your version is really inspiring!

[i.syntaxerror]

I'd like to say I love your episodes when you're showing emotional yourself - not only sound design.
This is so hot episode. Thank you sir

[Mopark]

No better synth for supersaws than good ol' Sylenth1! Thank you for taking that moment to appreciate the sound, no better in electronic music.

[afaydilek]

taylor made actually great electro-ish pop with max martin, i really appreciate this video thanks a lot

[peetboy]

This is exactly the sound where you can build your track upon this sound + simple baseline + couple of fx sounds and you have a nice emotional deep house track. No more than 16 tracks.

[Multi-Waves_Sketchbook]

Taylor has really cool sounds in her music that I never see appreciated, even by her strongest stans

[partialobject]

That was gorgeous! Going to be an inspiration for my next Techno-pad for sure. Pretty sure this can be taken into more sonically colder, spacious territory without losing the beauty of that sound. Thanks Oscar, please keep them coming.

[AslanBeatz]

Love the way you explain everything man. Thumbs up 💯🦁

[godarpc]

you are amazing, thank you so much for sharing your many years of learning for free with others. You are a good man, thank you :) in times of internet the world is small, I live in Poland and I'm glad that I can see what you want to show me.

supersaws are the staple of eurodance sound of 90s, that's why I adore them. in eurodance they usually are bright and straightforward

[QuietusDK]

Honestly, besides being incredibly knowledgeable, and of course the fact that you work with electronic music which already locks in the audience, I think that of your videos, this one highlights your possibly best quality as a teacher:

You seem so genuinely enthusiastic about your material. It is madly infectious, I find myself grinning when you ask to take a moment to appreciate the supersaw.

No ego, no "I'm too cool to show that I love this", it speaks volumes to your persona.

Thank you, Oscar.

[TerminatorSVF]

Dude, you are amazing and helped me to find a new cool hobby during the last months 🙏🏻

[ionianechoes]

Good job! I watch your videos with pleasure and although I rarely learn something new now I wish I had material like this back in the day so I didn't have to learn this the hard way.

[RZORmusic]

Man, this video is like a therapy session.

[isabellapakulska]

The way you explain things Oscar, omg you should teach people how to teach as well as music production!! Thank you and regards!!

[weird.atall]

I'm so happy to see you cover Taylor's music! 🤩❤️

[AngelsJu]

I really don't know how to thank you enough right now! I've been looking for a kind of remake/tutorial of this song or this sound for almost a year but nothing. I wanted to recreate this kind of effect on my beats too, but I've always missed that wobble sound and now I can do that, so thank you!

[notgodzod]

Excellent as usual - so clear, you are an excellent teacher! And I really loved that you took some time to simply appreciate the exquisite beauty of the supersaw 😊
