Well, THAT makes sense. :)

The second edit is 20.1 seconds in length from point a
to point b, not the edit at 20.1 seconds in.

Thanks, Ron and Aaron!

Thanks, Ron. So it appears I hit it pretty close.]]> Tue, 02 Jun 2015 20:45:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43719&title=paul-simongraceland#43719 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43718&title=paul-simongraceland#43718 Author: crapfromthepast

I got a few questions about this, so I reproduced Aaron's edit, using the remaster of Graceland as the source, and using my notation.

First, pitch up by 0.7%. Then do this:

Segment 1
Extends from 0:00.0 to 0:06.5 of the LP/commercial 45 version and the promo 45 edit, after 0.7% pitch increase
Ends on a bass drum hit

Remove the 32 beats from 0:06.5 to 0:14.6 of the LP/commercial 45 version, after 0.7% pitch increase

Segment 2
Begins on a bass drum hit
23 beats long
Extends from 0:06.5 to 0:12.3 of the promo 45 edit, after 0.7% pitch increase
Extends from 0:14.6 to 0:20.4 of the LP/commercial 45 version, after 0.7% pitch increase
Ends on a snare hit

Remove the 80 beats from 0:20.4 to 0:40.6 of the LP/commercial 45 version, after 0.7% pitch increase

Segment 3
Begins on a snare hit
Extends from 0:12.3 to 3:59.4 of the promo 45 edit, after 0.7% pitch increase
Extends from 0:40.6 to 4:27.6 of the LP/commercial 45 version, after 0.7% pitch increase

Fade
32 beats long
Extends from 3:51.3 to 3:59.4 of the promo 45 edit, after 0.7% pitch increase
Extends from 4:19.5 to 4:27.6 of the LP/commercial 45 version, after 0.7% pitch increase

Your mixdown, after the 0.7% pitch increase, will run 3:59.4, with edits at 0:06.5 and 0:12.3, and a fade from 3:51.3 to 3:59.4.

It's always hard to replicate a 45 version or promo edit
without an actual source. My usual source (YouTube)
didn't yield even a video or dub of the promo edit.

Doug, yours sounded smoother than mine in the intro. I
got the first edit right, it was the 2nd one that threw
me as I maybe was a hair off.]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2015 20:44:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43712&title=paul-simongraceland#43712 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43708&title=paul-simongraceland#43708 Author: sriv94

I think you hit on it, John. I think it works if you edit from (:12.36) to (:32.38). I'll forward my version for comparison to your attempt.]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2015 16:57:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43708&title=paul-simongraceland#43708 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43693&title=paul-simongraceland#43693 Author: eriejwg

After the pitch up and the first edit, does the edit go
from 12.3 to 30.1 instead of 20.1?

I'm confused. ]]> Sun, 31 May 2015 11:35:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43693&title=paul-simongraceland#43693 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43692&title=paul-simongraceland#43692 Author: eriejwg

I too am having issues with trying to come up with the
DJ promo edit, even with following Aaron's
instructions.

I have a client that's requested this song for dinner
music at their wedding in a few weeks and I would rather
play the promo edit.

There are two edits on the intro. Starting with the LP version from the "Graceland" CD:

1) Pitch up the entire song by about 0.7%.
2) Edit from the downbeat at 6.5 seconds to the downbeat at 14.5 seconds. (If you're counting bass drum beats, the edit occurs on the 13th beat and cuts out 16 bass drum beats.)
3) With what you have remaining, edit on the snare drum at 12.3 seconds, and cut to the last snare drum before the first vocal at 20.1 seconds.
4) Fade out from 3:51 (on the word "Graceland") to 3:59.]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2015 20:04:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43520&title=paul-simongraceland#43520 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43519&title=paul-simongraceland#43519 Author: crapfromthepast

I'm having a really difficult time replicating the intro. It sounds like there should be just one or two edits to shorten the intro, but I can't pin down where they are.

There's an early fade, too.

I realize that's not terribly helpful, but after struggling with this for an hour, I'm ready to call for backup...]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2015 19:42:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8336&PID=43519&title=paul-simongraceland#43519
