Doctor Who - Fool's Gold 2008 v3e

Changes include:

Overall

• Significant remixing of all tracks
• Less overall compression
• Multipressor plugin applied to achieve wider frequency range and fuller sound

Derbyshire Elements

• Intro hiss added to opening scream to reflect Gold's 2008 theme
• Increased emphasis on Derbyshire bassline and melody (louder in volume and more heavily compressed)
• Derbyshire spangles and intro hiss added
• Derbyshire pulsing hiss added
• End wind bubble replaced with drone (as in Gold's 2008 theme)

Instrumentation

• Orchestral instrumentation changes based on Gold's 2008 theme (most notably the drums, piano, and brass)
• Addition of second bassline layer and synth chords (done on the CS-80V, the mix's first synth elements not done on my Juno-6)
• Various older synth layers from the original Fool's Gold have been removed (generally ones that were too quiet to hear anyway)
• Howell bassline removed (no longer needed as I've added my own second layer now, which is what it was there for)

Arrangement

• Middle section heavily modified (no more instrumental melody, instead closer to the original Derbyshire theme, including bassline solo)
• Ending shortened and significantly reworked (now much closer to Gold's 2008 theme)
