And after that, as if the track wasn’t enough … you went ahead and (re)made a full on music video for the song! Hats off to you sir!
Haha thanks 😁 Always to love to have some fun with that as well.
@@Estuera This is not only fun this is a complete masterpiece of a product m8 no bs and I wish I could dl it because it's just whooooooa. Seriously
GREAT remix!!
You've made a monster of track out of this classic. The attention to detail with each element added, while still preserving the original vibe of the song is truly impressive.
I’ve been listening to your videos for a while and now more frequently... I’d say it’s absurd you only have 16k odd followers! Top work fella. Keep it up.
Thanks :)
That M1 mid low IS Bad Boy Chiller Crew 😂😂 Seriously, they should get on this
This is a proper remake ❤❤❤
Such a good remix man! Love it! That basic driving beat and vocals you made at the start before adding elements was superb. Had me hooked straight away. Awesome job mate!
This a really fresh take. I love how smooth and melodic you've made it.
That was a great Remix!!!! I felt like it was the early 90's all over again❤❤❤🥂🥂🥂
This is just an amazing mix!!!
Chills
Wow! That's amazing.
Consistently putting out quality content. Love your sounds
Amazing!!! Congrats from Brazil!
Wow, thanks for a glimpse into your fantastic remix qualities.
UGH that song is a treasure, I love it so much, you brought it into 2021 with this amazing remix. Great work and great taste💙
Thanks. Absolute classic for me as well :)
Really loving your channel. keep dropping bangers like this. Enjoying the vocal rip. Interesting results
Amaaazing remix! Awesome job!!!!
What a classic! Nice one Jonas!!!!
incredible!
Nice work!
My man you are a beast
Nice remix, great sounding instruments! Vocal came out pretty well after AI separation too, better than expected.
Great work, highly inspirational, thanks
Incredible
Dude, you're the youngest person I've found on UA-cam who has such a great understanding of electronic music history from the '90s and '00s.
Great work! Keep it up. 👍😎
Thanks but I'm not sure if I'm that 'young'.
How old do you think I am ? 😁
@@Estuera id just take both as compliments haha, but seriously though, that was AMAZING
@@Estuera I would say about my age 38-42, I grew up in the 80s 90s and I love the electronic music of the eras, for me though the late 90s trance is where it's at lol
@@b0dyb4gz1 I grew up with Jonas' music and he looks younger than me, so I guess looks can be deceiving xD
You are spot on with 38.Same experience for me music wise.
Awesome track. Thanks for showing how you made it. Good work on the videoclip too! I very much enjoy this type of documentary and entertainment in one video 😁
Solid effort!!!
Terrific remix, great tut, and huge props for showing us lalal.ai
All round superb video!
Thanks ! :)
One of my all time favourite tracks. Great rework. Ur videos are top notch sir 😎.
Thanks :)
Nice work! Thank you for sharing.
The survival of revival ...
Gotta keep that fire burning
More please!
Brilliant 👍
Great! I like your remix!
Amazing!!
one of the most useful videos I have seen lately, the remix is very cool too!
Thanks ! :)
Yo this is fire even in 2022.
THX for this remix, it's a time machine ;-)
amazing remix
Goood work Jonas!
Fantastic, boombastic, affentittengeil, thumb up!!
Brave man to tackle a true classic like this one well done will try to emulate it using the vsts i have thanks for sharing with us, looking forward to the next master class.
Wow, great job. More a fan of the original sound, but you did an amazing job on this. You are so talented! Keep up the great work! I always look forward to your new videos!
Thanks :)
And yes off course the original remains the best. Its a classic for good reason. Had some _big fun_ with this though ;)
Great work! Since it is such a classic track i am really happy how you approached it. It is so easy to butcher a good song but much harder to reimagine it without breaking it. So i am happy to conclude that you succeeded in creating a modern interesting remix of this classic tune. Cheers from Sweden!
Thanks :)
Criminally underrated! Hang in there and you'll hit 100k in no time.
superb!!!
Saunderson released a pack with the acapella together with all the stems of good life part of a remix compo, a few years back. Nevertheless you did yet again another awesome job!
Nice one for showing us that xylophone trick with them M1 organ. I never even knew that was a thing. Always heard it in like Da Klub Kings and Nick Skitz tracks.
Espen Kraft - I am the 80s
Estuera - I am the 90s :)
Haha 😁
SUPER BRAVO
Just ❤️❤️❤️
Nice video Bro :)
Great video. I really enjoyed your mix. It's such an iconic vocal track. Regarding the vocal software, I tried it quickly about a month ago using Kim English's Nitelife but I only used the demo option. I found there to be too many artefacts to be useful but you convinced me to have another attempt.
Great remix. It brings back memories of my adolescence. I wonder if one day you will do something like that with the subgenre dream trance.
My favorite remix of "Good Life" is the Matt Smallwood remix. It's just delicious and sooo cool. Lord knows how many remixes have been done of this enduring classic. They were still playing it at Akbar in L.A. back in 2014; it's magic on the dance floor. So glad I got to dance to it man times well beyond its original peak popularity back in the day. Your remix is fine; for some reason it reminds me of "Dreamer" by Livin' Joy. Interestingly, Inner City released a cool cut called "Good Luck" a few years back. It has a darker vibe than Good Life but is very cool. You seem to really know your stiff!
Awsome remix! The original is one of my favourites from the genre, Kevin Saunderson was an early pioneer. I also really like his second Inner City album “Fire”. Stylistically this really influenced Yuzo Koshiro for music of Sega’s Streets Of Rage games.
WOW!
top draw I like this remix
Nice rinse fella...
Cool. I will have to try this out on a few great tracks with annoying vocals on them.
Very few “tutorial” videos that produce such amazing music as well, will definitely be checking out lalala for acapella creation
excelente
Som que toca a alma
💙
Cool remix and video ...will it be on the Bandcamp link in the description?
Thanks. And no this one won't be available on bandcamp due to copyright reasons.
Just showing off now mate
Could you do a remix of the classic track from Gat decor "passion" the main paino riff it just un real song along with the bass and beat ,thank for all you time your one of the best reproduction guys I know who can do old rave and house tunes 👌👍
Great video! Now, get your hands on a JP-8000 and re-create all the trance anthems of the late 90's 😉
JP-8000 is on my list indeed ;) Still got to find one for a good price or loan one.
If you also find a non-working one (no audio output) its usually simple and inexpensive capacitor replacement.
Nothing like that showed up on my radar yet unfortunately
💜💜💜💜💜
That Polybrute tho....
the man from the land of electronic dance music strikes again.
I’m even older than Estuera but musically in the same place, kind of. I don’t listen to a lot of new electronic music, I don’t even really know where to start - most of the suggested music that comes my way on things like Deezer sounds pretty cheesy to me. Anyways, glad to hear someone say that melodic techno is trance because a) I noticed that no one says trance anymore b) I keep hearing trance c) Sasha is now referred to as a techno DJ. Love the mix btw! If I had the room I’d get an M1 but maybe I’ll demo the Korg vsti.
I think melodic techno is basically old school trance continued. Meaning trance before the JP-8000, Virus Ti's and all the typical sounds you'll think of got introduced.
Lots of people love to make melodic music but don't really want to have it marketed as if its the same music the current 'trance' generation is doing. I guess that's why the term 'melodic techno' was invented.
Yes, It sounds almost exactly the same as the real thing. Especially in the context of a full mix.
In those days...Sasha-sinonim for (cheap!)trance...#)
my fav musicians/ producers..... 1. Esteura/Jonas... 2.) SynthMania/ Paolo....3.)Doctor Mix/ Claudio.... 😃 greets bm
Such quality content going on here. Thumbs up for the Alesis M1 mk2 😀 are those your primary monitors?
Yes, I've been using them for about 12 years now. Actually they are long due for an upgrade but this room (despite a lot of effort treating it) is simply not that great acoustically, mostly because it's a way too small box. This kind of makes getting new monitors a bit pointless for now. I know how the Alesis M1's sound in this room and I rely a lot in my HD600 and checking in my car and another sound system to make sure the mixes are all right.
As soon as I move to a bigger space some new monitors will join the M1's though.
@@Estuera Oh wow 12 years! You sure now every bit of it. I understand the struggle mate, even though I don't own them that long, but I do love the sound. Such a shame that the line was discontinued. Quite rare to find them used on the market where I live.
Btw, I'm also in the market for something new, while keeping M1's for dj setup. Maybe this would be helpful to you. Because of your situation, check out Kali Audio LP6. There are dip switches for eq'ing them for the setup situation (near the wall, far from the wall, on a stand etc). Very interesting thing that i didnt see on other budget monitors. Other than that, there are other benefits you can check out (good stereo image, good mid, deep bass etc). Can't recommend as I didn't buy or heard them yot, but food for thought :)
Keep up the good work! ;) Love the remix and I look forward to grab it when you release it
Thanks for the suggestion. Will check them out. Haven't really been looking at monitors for years so will have to do quite a lot of research again. Didn't even know the M1's were discontinued.
@@Estuera Found that out when I wanted to try new version of them. Actually, there is an mk3, but theres only 5 inch model, but basically, discontinued
Love your process of remixing! I always found it hard remixing a song. How do you find the key of the vocals and warp the vocals to a chosen bpm ?
In this case I did that by ear. No warping needed as I stayed on the original bpm.
👍👍👍
End result is fantastic. I miss the epic stabs tho.
Where did you get your desk ? Looks great (I am Europe based)
The stabs in the original are great off course but wanted to do something different.
The desk is from Ikea (Bekant) I modded it to add a keyboard shelf.
@@Estuera ahhh! That was exactly what I was looking for, the keyboard shelf. But don't have the skills to modify it. But will look into it, thanks a lot!
It was a bit of a hassle and tbh the result is not perfect. Still very usable though.
The modification is done with other IKEA stuff btw. It was inspired by this reddit post: www.reddit.com/r/ikeahacks/comments/7o6qsu/ikea_hack_music_battle_station/
5:27 Jupiter cords... Emmanuel Top - Fusion 🙃🤘
That is the same chord progression indeed.
I got it from the original version of Good Life off course. One of the elements that makes the track so great :)
CHUR BRO!
It'would be nice you upload your finished tracks from videos so we can download them :)
Which I already do ;) -> estuera.bandcamp.com/releases
I still have their albums.
Absolutely brilliant! When are you going to create and sell online courses🙌🏻😃?
Why not just get them here for free ;)
@@Estuera what a legend🙏
lalal. ai sounds almost as good as the RX7 Music Rebalance. Some de-reverb before uploading to the site and it would almost be perfect
Detroit native tapping in. Loving this remix dude. Definitely need to cop this track! Is it available for purchase yet?
Thanks :)
Don't think an official release of this will happen. Never say never though. For now it's UA-cam only.
@@Estuera Darn lol, I would definitely plays this at a gig. I live in Tampa now and they go crazy when you come with the classic house remixes. Fingers crossed
Oh yes. I would love to drop this at well when playing for the right crowd :) Been way too long
C'était quand ? Ah oui, hier !
As always, great content.
But copyright in all that Jonas ?
Can we extract and use any voice import without impunity. I don't this so... But I counting on you to enlighten me on this subject ;)
No, copyright is still a thing off course.
I see a couple of use cases:
1. Private use, just having fun with your favorite tracks and making remixes
2. Dj bootlegs or creating stems to mix in live sets
3. Using it as a demo for tracks that can be cleared or covered (with re-recorded vocals) later on. This happens quite a lot in the dance scene nowadays
4. Making karaoke instrumentals ?
@@Estuera Good. Thank you for these clarifications.
In itself, this is handy software but should be used with caution...
A good weekend to you Jonas !
Its really good but i feel like it needs a big snare build for the drop to make it hit a little harder
Would you let us know how many hours did you invest to have the track finished? (not the video, just the track)
I think in total I worked about 6 hours on this remix. Didn't really track time though (was having fun) so might be a bit less or more.
@@Estuera I bet you were having BIG FUN while making this remix 😉
How can I get a copy of this gem? I would love to play this in my sets.
Mail me using the details on the about page of the channel and I'll get you a copy.
🦆 for the man who can
super good. now how do we get the track? ;)
Thanks :)
For now its going to be UA-cam only.
Hi Jonas, you were right , it is again layering what makes hi hats sound bright and fat, it is parrarel compr as well, regards from Poland
Exactly :)
The easiest solution is spectral layers in cubase 11 :3
_if_ you have cubase off course ;)
Can you make a early 2000s hardcore with the heavy distorted kicks like dr z vago
Could you do a spacesynth style track? It's a very untouched genre with a huge cult following.
Can you share a link ? I'm not sure what style you mean exactly.
@@Estuera this ua-cam.com/video/7QceDyJxBKM/v-deo.html
Ah yes I know that track.
Man i want see you tracks in apple music!!!
Actually I have a quite a few releases (including recent ones) on Spotify, Apple Music, and all the other platforms.
Search for 'Estuera'. Most of those are melodic techno / trance , but I think later this year I'll also try and release some house tracks in the style of this remix. Really love to produce that stuff.
@@Estuera I very love classic house also sound of korg m1 it is holy grail!
100% agree. I keep on finding excuses to use it :D
@@Estuera please put this remix on your bandcampr
I can't do that because of copyright reasons. That's why I usually only do 100% original content.
Hi Estuera! Can't find the track on Bandcamp...
Its not available there because od copyright. Sorry.
Wander if it's just running Izotope RX8 in the background
You can do this in-house with Cubase Pro :)
Spectralayers indeed ;) But Steinberg isn't sponsoring ;)
And tbh there (sadly) aren't that many Cubase users compared to the large crowds of Ableton and FL Studio. So this service is accessible by everyone.
Ah my socially awkward brain didn’t put 1 and 1 together to realize this was sponsored. Yes it is a shame that Cubase is such a steep buy in, but it truly is the most feature rich DAW out there. I was lucky to get pro for $200 in a DAW cross grade promotion. Best decision I ever made.
Yeah, I love Cubase, I have been using it since the 90s.
@@Estuera same here. Already started with cubase on the atari. But about spectral layers, is the result comparable with those commercial services? I'm pretty impressed by spectral layers.
Might do a comparison in a later video at some point.
Awesome remix. I guess my big question is what’s the legality of separating a vocal? Is there copyright issues. Its not like sampling but it’s technically sampling. I can see a whole new area of law coming out of artists who don’t want their music to be ripped apart.
As far as I know it will be the same as sampling legal wise.
Where is the final tune to stream man? Can't find it on your bandcamp?
Can't put this one on bandcamp because of the rights to the vocals not being cleared for that usage.
@@Estuera Ahh that's a shame! I have seen some other remixes w/vocal live for 5+ years on soundcloud though? P.S this track was great work man :)
these pads tho
You can see that Disclosure is very much influenced by this era of music.
