Recording Notes

• Kraftwerk was known for their meticulous approach to sound design, favoring clean and precise tones.
• The SSL console was used for EQ and compression to shape the sound, focusing on clarity and separation in the mix.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth or square wave on your synthesizer.
• Use subtractive synthesis to filter out unwanted frequencies, focusing on a bright but not harsh sound.
• Apply a gentle compression to even out the dynamics without squashing the sound.
• Consider a slight boost in the high frequencies for added clarity, but be careful to avoid harshness.
• Use a clean, transparent EQ to shape the tone without adding unwanted color.
