Bad Boys Blue – I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat Sunday Candy Girl Remix

This is a remix of Bad Boys Blue classic 80s hit I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat. It’s the favourite track of paramedics and intensive care units.

I have used vocals from the hit’s 1st recording session version because of their clarity compared to the final released version.

Together with the vocals I have spliced in a couple of other elements from the original track. My idea was to make a more chilled and laid back version of the original high energy tune.

I learned to appreciate the original track even more during the process. It’s richly orchestrated brilliant pop song.

The track has been mastered with LANDR online service. It improved the sound, but lacks the character and potential a mastering engineer could create. It’s OK for less serious productions in my opinion.

Creative use of the gate effect: write messages into the waveform

This might be a nifty sound design trick. With the creative use of a gate effect, you can write messages into the amplitude waveform.

At the very least the resulting gate patterns are interesting.
