I love the 2nd track from Analogue Bubblebath 3... but its got some problems. You can be that person that says all of these mistakes (?) are actually secret genius features if you want, but imo, 21 yo Dick James did just do some fuck ups. In any case, I wanted to make some changes for me.

I've stuck to what I think the original intension was as much as possible. Structure is completely the same and the final mix is not significantly changed. Changes are:
- Trimmed vacuum intro because music quicker pls
- Put compression tail on vacuum because funny
- THE BASS. In the original, the bass synth is horribly out of tune with the lead synth. Most of my motivation comes from this. My attempt to sort this has been to eq notch out the bass part, and then take a clean bass sample from what I'm calling the bridge from late in the song and tune it down. I've struggled to nail the tuning but it is so so much better than the original. This has made the intro sound a bit different because the loop has kick drum left on it. I went with fading it in just before the drums come in - think it works pretty well.
- Covered up mixing mistakes (?) in the bridge, where random other tracks were faded up for half a second with the lead synth. I thought this sounded shite so I've just looped a clean part
- Cleaned up the clipping outro. You can't tell me something didn't go wrong there. So, so clippy and compressed in a yuck way. Did my best to splice different parts in from elsewhere in the song. To stay "authentic" or whatever I put a subtle bitcrusher in which is nowhere near as distracting as the real mix is here. There's also an unintended phasing thing going on (can really hear it on the first snare of the outro) but still works ok
- Boosted the mids. Just personally, I think the lead synth is sometimes a bit quiet and a bit more lost than it should be.
- Roughly quantised everything to 140. It was sort of wobbling up and down around 140.5 before (maybe the speed up and down explains why I found it so hard to get the synths in tune?? prolly just me). Sorry!

There's probably more that could be done by someone who knows more than me. Let me know maybe I'll do a 2nd go. luv u Rich x
