The other thing that really helps add to Future Bass saws is not making them the main character. Accompany them with a low-mid layer that kind of acts like a cello section, and a powerful, colourful bassline to add some interest. You want to set the saws a tiny bit further back in the stereo mix (not necessarily your dynamic mix), unless there's a certain artistic sound you're going for, since you want to avoid a giant wall of sound and clipping, and you want to make space so your lead can shine
Then I use space to act as the high end with Osc A on full 'brightness' and set to 0 on everything else while Osc B is tuned +12 ST and full brightness with moderate color to give some noise, but you still want the base to be those pulvs, because at the end of the day, saws sound better when their fundamentals are sawtooth waves.
Using Space for saws is good for adding body and high end dissonance or at least the illusion of a set of non-retrigger, high-detune saw oscillators, but similarly to Heisenberg, Space's audio fidelity when dealing with anything low/low-mid range sucks. I like to have two Pulvs acting as the main body each tweaked for something around -14 to +14 on the detune per osc and at least 2 of them with no detune to make the fundamentals in the chord.
I like your tracks a lot!!! They're so amazing! Honestly better than I can do... but then again I am just beginning... could you look at my tracks and tell me what I need to do better? I need some advice...
Spend a bit more time getting used to synthesis. Mockup projects are something that really help when you're learning sound design/trying to get a feel of a production style. AudioTool is an amazing learning tool. Experiment a bit. Also watching some music theory videos and making sure to emulate what you hear.

What techniques do use to get your saws so clean in Future Bass?
I have a big ass project in the works. I'm not dead I promise.
