I Don't Need a Reason · Dizzee Rascal / Single (2013)

Unverified Inferred from the knowledge base. Nobody has cited a source yet; one accepted source makes it POTENTIALLY, one grade A source or two grade B sources verify it

Settings

osc: 1 saw + 1 square -1, unison 2, detune 12 cents, sub sine -1
filter: LP 24 dB/oct
cutoff: 116 Hz
resonance: 0.3, drive 0.06
envelope: A 3 ms D 241 ms S 0.77 R 177 ms; quick punch on attack then settle; filter env amount 0.16
modulation: mono
effects: dry, minimal fx, none
notes: The sub carries I Don't Need a Reason's low end, a 1 saw + 1 square -1 pushed hard and kept mono so it locks to the kick rather than fighting it. Approximated from The Fifth's production team: RedOne/Jimmy Joker/Teddy Sky's Euro-pop rig (Sylenth1 and Native Instruments Massive layered leads and supersaws), Free School and Jonas Jeberg's radio-pop synth stacks, all typical of 2012-13 major-label pop-rap.
