notes
a mono synth bass carries the low end on "Telling the Truth", built the way DJ Khaled, Kaytranada and Boi-1da's late-2010s trap-soul: Serum/Massive synth bass and 808s over Ableton-built keys would have cut it for Strength of a Woman (2017). Waveform: 1 saw -1 + sub sine -1, filtered through a LP 24 dB/oct stage around 293 Hz; the envelope (9.9/84.7/0.916/161.9 ms) is snappy and percussive to sit under Mary J. Blige's vocal without crowding it.
