Recording Notes

• The synth sound is a prominent element, created with a clear, bright, and slightly aggressive tone that cuts through the mix.
• The key to the sound involves careful manipulation of the Virus's oscillators and filter settings to achieve the desired resonant peak and overall sonic character.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth or square wave as the oscillator waveform.
• Use the Access Virus's filter to create a resonant peak, adjusting the cutoff and resonance to achieve the desired metallic quality.
• Experiment with the synth's envelope to shape the attack and decay of the sound, ensuring it has enough punch and sustain.
• Add a touch of chorus or a slight delay to enhance the width and depth of the synth lead.
• Adjust EQ to ensure the synth sits well in the mix without clashing with other instruments.
