Finally - 2006 Remix

Ok, I realise that this is not really Trance - this track was originally released 15 years ago.

Ce Ce Penniston's "Finally" was the floor-filler of 1991 and my memories of those jolly days are still very fresh.

Here's my vocal remix of Finally. I hope you enjoy it - let me know if you do.

Finally Remix 128k

Why no one has commented on this is to put it frankly, insulting. This is an excellent production and a good remix of an orginal track. Even though not technically trance, it does have a good uplifting house vibe with well arranged and mixed elements.

Good work on the mastering too, though i felt the precussion elements needed tweaked a little to add more depth. Seem's like a little too much high-end on the hats.

When did you produce this and what is setup?

Sounds great. I recognice it, but it was a long time since I heard the original...
Nice mastering!

Golden days

I really do appreciate you comments, thank you very much indeed.

Well I started it early this morning and got it to the stage it's at now by lunchtime. I'll have another pass at it next weekend.

The setup is...

Cubase SX3
Drums - Battery2 with Uberscall House Samples
Bass - Trilogy, Moog Patch
Piano, Strings etc - Korg M1
Effect Plug-ins and Mastering - Waves Diamond Bundle

Keep working on this remix, i feel it has alot of potential. I think it needs to have further layers (maybe a sub-synth or alternative hook outside of the piano sequence).

Did you use the Korg Legacy Digital Edition or the orginal M1 for the piano parts? You seem to have a nice warm sounding piano section. Did you use the midi from the orginal track for the piano arrangement?

I would love to hear more of your work if possible. You've got a good 'groove' for house remixes. Keep up the great work!

Yes, the Korg Legacy Digital Edition. The M1 is really the only piano sound for house. I used the original midi just for the piano as it sounds really good, clearly someone sat down and played the entire piece which is not a trivial thing to do. I totally agree that it needs another layer - I'll give that some thought next week.

Thanks again!

Now Updated!

Sound's really good now! I think it has a good groove and the piano seem's to work really well with the track.

You should upload 192 or 320kps version for DJ's to use.

ha! i remember this track from back in the day. great housey remix, i've got it in my playlist now i agree with above, the piano sounds great with this. well done.

Many thanks again Megazoid. You're a model of what contructive criticism is all about. I've tweaked it a bit more so here's the 320k version for anyone who wants to give it a spin!

Finally Remix 320k

Ok folks, it done, finished, complete.

Finally Remix 2006 128kbs

Finally Remix 2006 320kbs

Thanks for the kind words Ferdia. Not a problem to give good feedback!

I must admit that this remix is very professional and well produced, it's made it's way into my playlist. I could easily see this going onto future compliations. You should send this to the orginal label that released the track back in the early 90's. I am sure they would love to hear this!

I would be keen to hear more of your production work, have you produced anymore tracks (either in this genre or trance)?

Ferdia, did you change this from the last version? The organ sound's different. Not sure if i like the new organ part in the intro or not.

If you can, hook me up with the organ pattern midi file and i'll do a better organ sequence for you. I've been playing piano for over 15 year's now (various playing styles - jazz, new age, etc) and should be able to come up with a better organ chord sequence for you.

Keep me posted!

Yes, I did go through a few organ patterns - none of which really did for me. I'd really appreciate your help with it.

Here's the midi file
Organ.mid

I've done some other stuff over the last couple of year, mainly remixes that weren't really up to standard. Now it seems after a long learning period, is seems easier to knock out stuff that sounds right. Funny enough, nowadays I do less complex processing on tracks but what I do I stick to - especially with mastering.

I will never be a good composer, but maybe a competent mix/mastering engineer. That's when I'm not running a big IT department!

dead link buddy. Not a problem to help you out with this. Which M1 organ patch did you use?

This one works.
Organ.mid

I'm actually using the B4 for the organ. One of the house presets.

I've spent some time on the organ and have come up with something that I think works really well.

Let me know what you think.

lol, fantastic mate, everyone knows this track.
could you pleeeaaassee send me the acapella of this track,

Estimates vary, but most would agree that it takes anything from six months to two years to get to the point where you, and others like the sound of what you're producing. For me, it was three years.

If you've got the very, very best samples and sound sources and the best plug-ins (I use Waves) and you get to know then inside out. Then with lots of peristance you'll get there.

I must appologise for not getting back to you sooner mate, I have been busy myself working on a remix. I like the new organ section, i think it's worth keeping this time. Over your remix is well polished and ready for release i think! Maybe remix another classic?

Thanks Mate!
I went through 100's of organ sounds until I found the right one.

I've got a good acapella of George Michael's "Outside". Maybe that'll be next...

If you need any acapellas, please just pm/email me. I've been building up a collection of 'hard to find' and rare acapellas for over 4/5 year's. If their is a specific track you want to remix, chances are i'll have the acapella, so don't be scared to drop me a line.

I've got a few hundred of them myself. But here's one I've never been able to find: Lips Inc - Funkytown

Does anyone know what label this was originally released on? Or how to find out
