Recording Notes

  • The synth sound was likely created using a combination of subtractive synthesis techniques.
  • Emphasis was placed on achieving a bright and present tone through careful EQ and compression.
  • The synth part was likely double-tracked or processed with a chorus effect to create a wide and lush soundscape.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth wave and shape the sound using a resonant low-pass filter.
  • Add a subtle chorus or ensemble effect to thicken the sound.
  • Use a fast attack and medium decay envelope to create a punchy transient.
  • Apply a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and increase sustain.
  • Experiment with detuning oscillators for a wider stereo image.
