notes
a mono synth bass carries the low end on "Didn't Mean", built the way early-2000s Track Masters and Dr. Dre-adjacent production: Minimoog-style analog bass and MPC-sequenced synth stabs over the hip-hop soul sample bed would have cut it for Love & Life (2003). Waveform: 2 square -3 detuned + sub sine -1, filtered through a LP 24 dB/oct stage around 285 Hz; the envelope (2.9/110.3/0.829/135.2 ms) is snappy and percussive to sit under Mary J. Blige's vocal without crowding it.
