Recording Notes
- The lead synth sound was likely created using a combination of oscillators, filters, and effects within the Access Virus TI.
- The sound is characterized by its bright timbre, achieved through careful shaping of the oscillator waveforms and filter settings.
- Stereo widening techniques, such as chorus or haas effect, were likely employed to create a sense of spaciousness.
- The sharp attack of the synth sound allows it to stand out prominently in the mix.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a sawtooth or square wave as the oscillator source. Detune slightly for thickness.
- Use a resonant high-pass filter to create the bright, cutting quality.
- Apply a stereo chorus or widening effect to enhance the spatial dimension.
- Add a fast attack envelope to the amplitude for a percussive feel.
- Experiment with subtle distortion or saturation for added grit.
