notes
The low-end synth-bass part driving the groove on "Who Do You Think You Are" (Love Is, 1992). 1992 Rick Nowels/Ellen Shipley Hollywood pop-rock production (Love Is): Roland D-50 pads and Akai-sampled strings sit under a more guitar-organic mix, DX7 electric piano for the ballads. Built from 1 saw -1 + 1 square -1 (sub-doubled), shaped by a LP 24 dB/oct filter (short punchy pluck on the attack, settles to a rounder sustain), finished with digital stereo chorus, gated/plate reverb, occasional 1/8 delay slap on accents.
