notes
a mono synth bass carries the low end on "Still Believe in Love", 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 this non-album single (2023). Waveform: 1 saw -1 + sub sine -1, filtered through a LP 24 dB/oct stage around 269 Hz; the envelope (3.8/86.7/0.949/128.9 ms) is snappy and percussive to sit under Mary J. Blige's vocal without crowding it.
