Recording Notes

  • The sound is primarily created through the Access Virus's synthesis engine.
  • Emphasis is placed on sawtooth waveforms, filter resonance, and distortion to achieve the aggressive tone.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth waveform on a virtual analog synthesizer.
  • Increase the filter resonance to near self-oscillation.
  • Apply a distortion or overdrive effect to add grit and aggression.
  • Use EQ to shape the tone and remove unwanted frequencies.
