Tone Profile
A deep, sub-heavy, and slightly gritty bass synth sound that provides the foundation for the minimalist pop track. It's a simple yet effective sound, focusing on fundamental frequencies and a touch of harmonic distortion.

Recording Notes
- The bass synth sound was likely created using subtractive synthesis principles, focusing on a simple waveform (saw or square) with a low-pass filter to shape the tone.
- It's possible that some additional processing was applied during mixing to enhance the low-end frequencies and add subtle grit.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a sawtooth or square wave on a synthesizer.
- Use a low-pass filter with a moderate amount of resonance to shape the tone.
- Add a subtle amount of overdrive or distortion to introduce grit.
- EQ the sound to emphasize the sub-bass frequencies.
- Use compression to even out the dynamics and make the sound more consistent.
