Recording Notes
- The ARP Odyssey was likely used for its versatile synthesis capabilities to create the core brass sound.
- The synth part was probably layered and doubled to enhance the thickness and presence of the sound.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a sawtooth or square wave on your synthesizer.
- Use a resonant low-pass filter to shape the tone and create the brassy character.
- Adjust the filter envelope to create a sharp attack and a slightly shorter decay.
- Add a touch of chorus or ensemble effect to widen the sound.
- Experiment with layering multiple synth tracks to achieve a richer and more complex tone.
