Recording Notes

• The bass synth sound was likely created using a combination of analog synthesizers and console processing.
• The clean and defined sound suggests a direct input signal path, with minimal use of external effects.
• EQ and compression were likely applied at the console level to shape the tone and control dynamics.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Moog Minimoog or similar analog synthesizer capable of producing a thick and round bass tone.
• Use a sawtooth or square wave as the starting point, and adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to shape the sound.
• Add a touch of overdrive or saturation to add warmth and edge to the tone.
• Apply EQ to carve out any unwanted frequencies and boost the fundamental.
• Use a compressor to control the dynamics and add punch.
• Mix the bass synth with the other elements of the song, paying attention to the overall balance and clarity.
