Tried to replicate the edit from the album version - bottom line is that it doesn't work.
I have the album version on:
I have the edit on:
Keep the first 32 beats from 0:00.0-0:18.4. Edit on true downbeat. Remove the 24 beats from 0:18.4-0:32.1. Keep 0:32.1-2:47.5. Edit on snare. Remove the 16 beats from 2:47.5-2:56.6. Keep 2:56.6-3:56.1. Here's where it breaks down - there's an 8-beat instrumental passage in the edit from 3:33-3:37; the corresponding passage is 24 beats long in the LP version, from 3:56 to 4:09, but it has vocals over it. I don't see how to edit it to use the right instrumental portion. Keep 4:09-4:50 of LP version, with a 32-beat fade from 4:32-4:50. Your mixdown would run 4:18, with edits at 0:18.5, 2:33.9, 3:33.4 and 3:37.6, with a 32-beat fade from 4:01 to 4:18. Close, but not quite. |

The remix that radio played was by David Morales, but not sure if it's one of the mixes on the above mentioned CD singles. Does anyone remember? ------------- DJ L. |

Are you referring to the Dance Mix in the promo listed above? ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

| On the Discogs page for the commercial US CD Maxi-Single, Track 4 (Dance Mix) has a notation of "Remix, Co-Producer, Percussion - David Morales". |

I don't recall any stations in my area playing the nearly
6-minute dance mix. It was either the English edit or the Radio Edit. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

Yes! The remix sounded like the backing beat to Madonna's "Erotica". Not sure if was the full Dance Mix or an edit. ------------- DJ L. |

| Just in case you were wondering....My 'Commercial' 45 RPM vinyl single, released as, "EMI Records Group, SBK Records S7-57881, CEMA Special Markets" has a listed time of 5:25 and runs 5:24.5. In the run-out wax it states 'Mastered by Capitol'. It also states on the label, FOR JUKEBOXES ONLY!, which was common in the early 90's. It was released on 8/25/1992. Just Another Day was in it's 19th week on the Billboard Hot 100! It was still floundering in the Top 10 when the vinyl was released. -Bill. |

Can anyone shed some light on the "easy mix" on another
version of the promo CD? https://www.discogs.com/release/16073445-Jon-Secada-Just- Another-Day?ev= |

I just received the promo CD with the Easy Mix, so I can officially report the contents:
DPRO-05452 1. Easy Mix (listed 4:15; actual 4:14) 2. Original Radio Version (listed 4:15; actual 4:18) The Easy Mix is essentially the hit version with the drum machine removed from the mix. The hi-hats and other percussion is still there, just the drums are gone. I can't imagine many stations preferring to play this version, but I understand they were maybe going for an "AC" type mix. The best way I can describe it is that it sounds like a mixing mistake--like the engineer forgot to unmute the drum track--even though I know it's intended. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I imagined that it would contain less drums but wow, I
didn't think it would be as you described. My favorite part about that song is the drums. This kinda reminds me of Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" rare promo. I can't believe you got your hands on one I never see it for sale. |

Yes, the drums are really the "main" instrument of the song, and once you strip those away, the only thing left is a bit of piano and the vocals. It was an odd choice, in my opinion. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |
