Recording Notes

• The bass synth sound was likely recorded directly into the mixing console.
• EQ and compression were likely applied during mixing to enhance the punch and clarity of the bass.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on a Roland Jupiter-8 or similar analog synth.
• Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve a buzzy but defined tone.
• Use a short attack and decay envelope for a punchy sound.
• Apply slight compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• Consider adding a touch of EQ to boost the low-end and high-mid frequencies for clarity.
