Learn How Tara Busch Remixes Bat for Lashes – “Daniel”
This is a fantastic opportunity to look over the shoulder of a creative remixer like Tara Busch, from the treatment of the lead vocal to adding new vocals and synth parts. I’m also very fond of her love for the venerable MoogerFooger.
By the way, aren’t those my dad’s glasses she’s wearing? 
Here’s how this came about in Tara’s own words . . .
The Remix Recipe
Armed with a delicious arsenal of stems from Natasha including Linn Drums, an SCI Prophet 5 & a tear-soaked lead vocal to die for, I set about with the intention to create a remix that would showcase the childlike, deeply emotional characteristics of the lead vocal whilst creating a bed of sonic swoops, ferocious fuzz and sweet blips and bleeps for the vocal to travel in.
Backing vocals and select bits of the lead vocal were lovingly run through a Moogerfooger 102 & 104Z to create an “unsettling” contrast to the sweet lead vocal, and my trusty Pro One was employed to create a snarling, demonic lead synth line.
My Farfisa Compact Deluxe and Mellotron MKII strings and flutes held the fairy-like quality intact . Finally, after much tweaking, stirring, seasoning and singing, “Tara Busch’s AnalogSuicide Mix” was born.
