Recording Notes

• The Yamaha DX7 was likely a key component in creating the pad sound, known for its ability to produce rich and evolving textures.
• The Neve console would have been used for EQ and subtle compression to enhance the warmth and presence of the synth pad.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Yamaha DX7 or a similar FM synthesizer.
• Use a sawtooth wave as a starting point and modulate the filter cutoff and resonance to create movement.
• Add a chorus or ensemble effect to thicken the sound.
• Apply a gentle reverb to create space and depth.
• Use a Neve-style EQ to boost the low-mids for warmth and the high frequencies for air.
• Apply a gentle compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
