Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Radio Edit) Remake

My, if this one didn't take a long time to finish. I started this a year ago, around the 20th of December 2012. Why did it take so long? I had it 90% finished that next January, but I didn't get to the last passage of the choral section in time to have it finished before school started back up. So, the vocals had to wait. It wasn't until just recently that I was able to sit down with this song and really complete it.

But it's here, now, and I love that. This one's been a long time coming and features some of my best mixing to date. I had this mix near perfect months before I ever considered buying monitors, which is amazing to me. With the acquisition of more useful plugins, I put a little more critical listening work into the mix and the result is something I can call pleasing!

I'm more than excited to finally be able to release this. Many people requested it when I decided to cover something last year, and it's great to feel like it's worth something.

Production notes may come eventually, but for now I'll just run down the notables.

I used PreSonus's wonderful Studio One v.2 Pro to mix, utilizing its included compressors, EQs, and reverberators for the most part. Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 4 played a huge role in this like it does most of my music, being the tone shaper for the guitar/bass tracks and my key echo effect. I used Waves' Kramer Master Tape to fatten the sound in a good many places, and the Puigtec passive EQs as sweetening filters. Ozone 5 served as the master dynamics processor and topped everything off.

This is from the 2007 album ‘switching you on’. I’d just bought the Arturia collection so every track was full of it. The original of this  got into the moog modular. I also got guitar rig from native instruments so there’s suddenly lots of guitar with ambient and electro fx like gating on it. 

This 2025 remake sticks to the original in the main. Added vocals. Reworked bass. And some additional Roland Jupiter synths bring some breadth and texture. 

Taking Control. Ha. The common theme of who’s in control of my life and attempting to make it me. 18 years later and nothings changed much. 

Taking Control II

This is Midna's Lament, from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This is the song you hear when you are needed to rush Midna to Zelda, maybe halfway through the game. Unbelievably well-composed, and classic in the truest sense of the term. I love the song to no end, and wanted to share some of that by remixing it into an ambient piece with a hint of that orchestral influence heard in the Wii version of the game (GameCube version used ROMs for sounds, Wii supports SoundFonts and pre-recorded soundtracks).
