Recording Notes

• The sound is likely a digitally modeled synth lead, carefully programmed to have a precise attack and sustain.
• The original production probably involved extensive use of EQ to carve out space for the synth in the mix.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave and add some resonance around 2kHz to give it bite.
• Use a soft distortion to add presence and energy without making it muddy.
• Experiment with detuning oscillators slightly for a chorus-like effect.
• Automate filter sweeps and LFO modulation to add movement and keep the sound interesting.
