In this video I'll show you how to recreate the song "Wonderful Days (Radio Edit)" by Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo in Logic Pro X. If you have any questions, I would be happy if you write them in the comments! Have fun watching and recreating! 🎶 🎹 🎛

01:06 Sample from Tony Ronald "Help (Get Me Some Help)"
02:00 Effects from Quasimidi Quasar
02:39 Choir from Korg 01/W
03:27 Bell from Quasimidi Quasar / Logic Pro X
04:29 Bassline from Roland JD-990
05:02 Snare Drum from Roland TR-909 / Dance Megadrums Sample CD
05:23 Bass Drum from Dance Megadrums Sample CD

Special thanks to Charly Lownoise, who gave me some information about the used instruments. (The strings must be from the JD-990, not the 01/W 😅) And of course to Accentbuster, who gave me the two Quasar effects! Thanks a lot! 👍
If you would like to support me, I would be grateful for any donation! 🙏

Das ist einfach nur geil! Ich bin 24 und wünschte ich wäre es zu dieser Zeit gewesen.
Leute, ich kriege den Mund nicht mehr zu. Ich habe die Vinyl-Maxi seit über 25 Jahren im Schrank aber nicht gewusst, wie genau und genial dieser Song zusammen gebaut wurde. Toll nachgebaut und nahezu jedes Detail stimmt. Ich habe das auch einmal probiert mit "Brainchild" von Nostrum aber nicht annähernd so ein Ergebnis hinbekommen. Chapeau, meinen größten Respekt für dieses Ergebnis! Beste Grüße, Chris

Vielen Dank Chris! 🙂 "Brainchild" klingt sehr nach Korg, 303 und 909. Wenn ich mal Zeit habe schaue ich mal rüber 👍

@@DuckTronic Ja, das meine ich auch. Welche Instrumente für Brainchild genau verwendet wurden, konnte ich nicht ermitteln. Fest stehen für mich die 909 und 303, welche der Korg verwendet wurden, kann ich nicht sagen. Vielleicht kommst Du da ja weiter als ich damals. Ich hatte damals eine Wavestation, JD-800, Emu E-IV Sampler und Juno 106 zur Verfügung. Das klang natürlich nicht so, wie das Original seinerzeit. Ist ja vielleicht auch mal ein interessantes Projekt für Dich. Gruß, Chris.
Just found this. This is fascinating and amazing in equal measure. You certainly know your stuff.
the original sample from the vocals killed me for a second. i dont know why i missed to know this for so long. thanks for sharing the genius reverse engineered masterpiece! i like it a lot!
This is fantastic. Who would have thought that drum n bass was around in 1969.
90s Rave for ever ❤
This was to be heard a lot on Loveparade 1995. Although I preferred the sound coming from the Djax-Up-Beats truck :D
This is too good. only the vocal sample is already master. I wonder how you can make the sound without having the instrument and even if you did have it. Thank you very much ,every Friday a beautiful gift is great. I really appreciate it

A friend (Accentbuster, who owns the Quasar) sent me the effects as a wave file. And Charly Lownoise also gave me some tips. Unfortunately he didn't know everything anymore, it's been a while 😅

it may be possible to use phase inversion/cancelation to strip out the unwanted elements. E.G. (in Ableton Live) take 3 identical & un-warped copies of the same audio on separate channels, keep one as your 'normal', hard Pan the others Left & Right, and use a Unison effect on each to change the phase 180degrees. if you then resample the output into a 4th audio channel, you should be left with whatever is in the 'centre' of the mix - usually the vocal. you can then repeat this using the isolated vocal against a non panned original to strip the vocal out.
Mental & Lownoise became famous in Parkzicht/Rotterdam, aswell DJ Rob & Paul Elstak, i remember when Elstak went commercial, the Gabber fans trashed his car on the parking lot, untill it was total loss, You should've seen his face in the morning. Good times 😊

Excellent work! :) Your ears are way better than mine, I can not make out half of the bell sounds from the original at all! I remember this from my childhood. It was on one of my cassettes. Growing up I have also played a remix version of this in a small club, just don't know by who. It sounded just like Starsplash - Free. (could be the same producer?) :)

@@DuckTronic OMG, more memories! Yes! :) Thanks! I love that kind of kick and bass! Also, the original (laser) kick sounds like a self-oscillating filter sweep. Can be done with a sine wave too with a pitch envelope. (I would retrig the oscillator every time to avoid uneven transient clicks and pops due to the oscillator start phase)
2 words: holy shit.
Wow! Supercool! =D Nicely done. Congrats! Cheers. :) The comment is short because I'm speechless. :D BTW. I didn't know the original song used for the vocals, it's a nice song too. :)

Great recreation, Sir. My hat is off. I sincerely think you nailed the original. Its so good, I can't distinguish yours from the original! But, how about you nail Delacy, Hide away, and the synth from Jx there's nothing I want do? I'm very near buying a roland tr 03 and 09. Need to find a suitable hobby. Just jam around on the copies of the original instruments. For the fun of it!

Thanks! Even though I'm more of a Roland fan, I would rather recommend the Behringer devices or other clones. The TB-03 may still work, but the TR-09 without individual outputs doesn't work for me at all. For me, the devices are too small and unusable.
Seeing how you treat my childhood classics: Any chance for recreating "Hearts" by L.S.G.?
Wär cool wenn du mal was von RMB nachbauen könntest. Ganz oben wäre da Redemption für mich aber gern auch andere aus der Ära :D

I know they play the strings in an interview with an 01/W, but Charly is no longer sure, as he had three JD-990s at the time. I have both instruments here and compared them. They were the Soaring Strings from the JD-990.
Mental Theo has a JD-990 in his studio in 2018 so I think you are right about the bassline preset :-) See this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aX-dt8WNg9e9pdI.html at time 2:40.
