Excellent! I love that you used a real piano for this cover as opposed to a digital one. It really adds an authentic sound. The synth programming is on point too :D
What is the bass synth sound that you used on the various synths. for the Halloween theme by John carpenter is it some type of wave or pad synth bass sound Also what is used on a korg to make that specific sound?
I'm adding another comment. I'm 39. I remember watching Halloween on VHS on accident when I was 8 years old. Didn't realize what I got myself into. I'm calling it right now, this video won't get enough credit because of the old school look. But anyone reading this comment should look up the original version and compare it to this... You will not find anything closer. The feel is there. Great work man 💪
I can not believe you posted after 4 years! Please teach me or tell me the gear you use for this video I’m trying to make the same music and have gained heavy inspiration from your music videos that’s what made me start making Halloween covers in the first place but my audio sucks and I don’t know what to use other than GarageBand and a Yamaha psr-e373
I'm still around, just been extremely busy producing music. I used the Behringer Model D - for the main brass horn sound & low bass, the Arturia Modular V3 - for additional bass/dark brass sounds and also the clicking percussion throughout the track, the ESQ 1 & Prophet 5v for strings, and Vital Synth for the creepy whining sound that happens in the last sections. I think that the original soundtrack was done entirely with a Moog Modular IIIP and an acoustic piano, pretty sure that they had a Minimoog & Oberheim SEM in the studio too though. You do not need expensive gear to create these sounds and could probably do the whole thing with free Vital or your DAW's synth if it has a decent one. I'd recommend upgrading to a different DAW eventually too - such as Logic Pro (since you already use GB), Cubase Pro (what I use & there's a new version coming soon!), or Ableton Live. I'd like to do a track breakdown at some point if I (ever) have extra time and when I've found an interesting video concept for that. Glad you've enjoyed the videos and it's fantastic to hear that you're gaining inspo. The Halloween Theme was the first song I every learned on piano and really the first piece of music I ever cared about. Thanks and be sure to share your next song cover!
@@PaulNolanMusic thank you so much this will help a lot ,halloween was the first song I learned on piano too and then I kept going from there to the new movie soundtracks.
Yes, the 1978 Halloween soundtrack was made using Dan Wyman’s Moog Modular and a piano. Dan set up all the Moog patches. Carpenter has always hated patching/programming synths, he just likes to play the music. When he worked on soundtracks with Alan Howarth, Alan did all the patching/programming.
I programmed it on the Arturia Modular V3 synth. Basically it's a Sine Wave OSC that is tuned weirdly (trying to match the pitch in the og track), then layered with percussive noise from the same synth.
@@PaulNolanMusic Gotcha, thanks for the detailed response. It's almost hard to believe that I'm watching you play this out on camera, as it sounds *identical* to the film score. It really is the best cover on UA-cam.
I've heard many a cover, some good and some meh, but this... oh THIS is the most accurate thing I've heard since the original soundtrack itself... Im in absolute awe at your dedication to detail enough to go and get a real piano, (even a vintage one too from its looks, at that) 10/10!!!

This is probably the best and closest cover I've ever heard. Great job! 🎃🔪
So good and authentic the UA-cam algorithm thinks it’s the real thing
can ya do halloween 2 1981 cover if ya haven't done so already?

Do a 2nd Halloween theme song
Michael Myers
idk what it was but that synth hitting that hard made this one a lot more sinister. gives john carpenter a run for his money, phenomenal job!!

I’m 14 and the original version is in the opening credits and it’s wayyyy better than the remastered version❤

Absolutely brilliant. The best recreation I’ve heard.
Good stuff dude!
This is a beautiful arrangement. The swell of synth at the end just gets me the chills. Love it.
Only question I have is where does the ticka-ticka sound that begins as soon as the piano playing starts come from?
