Recording Notes

  • The bass synth sound was likely achieved by blending direct input with some subtle console EQ and compression.
  • Experiment with the Minimoog's filter and LFO to dial in the right amount of groove and movement.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or square wave on your synth.
  • Use the filter to shape the tone, aiming for a round and full sound.
  • Add a touch of LFO modulation to the filter cutoff for movement.
  • Slight chorus can thicken the sound.
  • Experiment with envelope settings for the amplitude, for a nice pluck/attack.
  • If recreating with a modern VST, try some subtle tube saturation for warmth.
