Recording Notes

  • The Juno-106's internal chorus is a key component of this sound.
  • Careful gain staging and EQ are used to ensure the bass sits well in the mix without becoming muddy.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or square wave on a Roland Juno-106, or similar analog synth.
  • Use the Juno's built-in chorus effect to add width and movement.
  • Adjust the filter and resonance to shape the tone, focusing on a deep, round sound.
  • Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics.
  • EQ the bass to remove any muddiness and ensure it sits well with the kick drum.
