Recording Notes

  • The synth sound is relatively dry, suggesting minimal use of reverb or delay.
  • Distortion is likely achieved either within the synth engine itself or with a subtle external overdrive plugin.
  • The sound has a fairly consistent dynamic range, implying some level of compression either at the source or during mixing.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or square wave on your synth of choice.
  • Add a touch of distortion or overdrive to give the sound some bite.
  • Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to shape the overall tone, aiming for a bright, cutting sound.
  • Use a compressor to even out the dynamics and add some punch.
  • Experiment with chorus or subtle detuning effects to add width and interest.
  • Keep the reverb and delay to a minimum to maintain the sound's immediacy.
