Ghostbusters synth cover

- Опубліковано 27 жов 2020
- This is my instrumental cover / recreation of the song Ghostbusters from the 1980's Ghostbusters movie.
The original was performed by Ray Parker Jr, and produced by Giorgio Moroder who I admire greatly, and this was one reason I decided to make it.
I don't have sheet music, everything was worked out and played by ear.
I used VST instruments only.

The most accurate part of this video is that even as a practiced musician you can't help bopping out to the tune.
you cant beat some synths in a good ol 80's track
WOW. This sounds like the original. Just stunning.
I am glad to see I am not the only one bopping away in the studio.
I love this man's vibe. He is so happy while dancing
One of my personal favorite 1980s movies from 1984 to 1989 to now the ghostbusters never get old 😊😇😎🥶👻👾👽🚫
I don't have the words to give justice to exactly what I'm feeling but I will say this is absolutely amazing and I love it (:
Thanks Jason. I love that you love it 👍

WHAT A FANTASTIC SURPRISE, MY DEAR FRIEND!!!!!!! It is the most beautiful and expressive version I have ever heard... very very accurate in every part!!!!! What I especially love about your recreation is that it sounds as full as the original one and it's not an easy thing. 10/10 FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!!!!! :) :) :)
I'm chuffed to bits with such a great comment from an expert like you Kos. Thank you so much.
Giorgio Moroder is one of my all time favourite producers, so I did work hard on making this one sound full and crunchy.... I'm so happy you liked it.
Stay well my friend, and thanks for being an inspiration.
@@juliancroot A really GREAT work!!!!! OH YEAH!!!! I too, I love Giorgio Moroder's works and one day I'd like to do some of his classics like "Chase" and "From Here To Eternity" :)

I love this version of “I Want A New Drug.” 😉
I found myself singing all with it, great. funny world, I started re-watching the movie a few days ago. May because halloween in 2 days, and with lockdown, not much going on.
Haha, I did a version with the vocals, but it sounded... Erm, let's just say I don't have the voice for it!
Thanks for watching Steve.
Hands down one of the best covers.
Thanks for the nice comment patrik. :)
@@juliancroot You're welcome. Thank you for making my day better.
Good Job Bro
Thanks
With Ghostbusters, Spirits Unleashed due out next week, I have been trawling for good GB song covers. I think this it the best I've found - great energy and enthusiasm. Just asking, ok to say no, mind if I use a snippet for a sting? If I use it I'll be sure to direct anyone to your content. Again, okay if no - great song :)
quais vsts plugins foram usados?
On point again, Julian. At some points it sounded even more like Huey Lewis than the original from Ray Parker Jr. 🤣 Hats off to another great recreation just by listening to the original. It impresses me everytime. Keep it coming and kick Corona‘s ...
That's a special compliment coming from a fellow musician. Thanks Martin, it means a lot. I hope you are keeping well.
Can I use this if I credit you? I’m working on a video and can’t use the original Sony because of copyright. It’s ok if not just please let me know! Thanks!!
Sure. As part of a bigger video, I don't mind you using it as long as I get a mention :).
However you should know that my version is copyright claimed, so there will still be UA-cam restrictions.
What a great cover!
Ray Parker, Jr. would be proud!
Thanks 👍
@@juliancroot Not a problem!!
Too good! I ain't afraid of no ghost after hearing this remake! What vst's did you use to make something like this? if they are paid would you recommend any alternatives? Kudos to you dude I'm now inspired to make something like this
You can go a long way with free VSTs. I use those that come with Cubase.. Big fan of Retrologue.
But of course Cubase isn't free.
I make no secret of the fact a lot of my sounds are presets...I just blend loads of them together!
80s music uses a lot of the Yamaha DX7 synth, and DEXED is a free VST in that style.
I'm not saying you don't need to pay for anything... But there's allot of pretty decent free stuff out there.
This is the best version I have heard.
The VSTs used are faithful to the original.
What are the VST?
Love the bass sound.
Didn't realise that the original track was produced by Giorgio Moroder - Wow!
You do some great renditions.
No doubt you've help shift extra copies out Cuebase too!
Thanks! 😀👍
VSTs I mostly use are Steinberg Retrologue 2, Native Instruments FM8, Nexus and Battery. Although I blend lots of sounds together for each part.
@@juliancroot Great! Thanks for the reply. 👍
bro the cover almost sounds better than the actual song
Glad you liked it. Thank you. 🙏
Awesome work! Can you share what patches you used for the main synth lead parts?
I used a blend of an electric guitar and a saxophone.
Awesome!
I was wondering if I could use this in a video, with your permission?
Don't have skills but would imagine an 80s cover band would be cool with an ace synth player.
I could not find the part II where You explain how You made the sounds
Ah... I've done 'break down' videos in the passed, but they don't get much traction.
Woah 1:57 !!
Can you play the theme Convoy of Charlie Clouser?
Mind if I use this on my short Instagram video as a backround music?
Providing I get a mention, yes you can use it as 'background' music :).
However I'm not sure what UA-cam's policy is on the re-purposing of an original cover song.
It might get flagged....most of my covers get detected as an original cover song, so you may not be able to monetise the video.
Podrías darnos el detalle de VSt usados para la melodía principal.
It's a saxophone blended with a lead guitar. I get asked so often about what sound I used for this or that, but it's very rarely any single sound. I get the sound I want by blending multiple sounds together. When the saxophone and lead guitar sounds are mixed in the right quantities (with a little vibrato on the accented notes), you should get pretty close.
@@juliancroot muchas gracias por tu respuesta!!!
"Geta Geta Geta... GHOST NAPPA!"
This sounds amazing. What kind of synths are you using ?
Thanks. This was done mostly with ReFX Nexus VST and Native Instruments Battery.
Very good work. Could you tell me exactly what sounds you used and what vst. Thanks friend
Thanks. I use a blend of several sounds for each part, so its not quite as simple as saying I used 'X' for this and 'Y' for that . However ReFX Nexus 'Guitars' Expansion features heavily for the guitar parts, and the drums will be from Battery 4. The rest is from Rretrologue 2 (steinberg) and FM8.
what synth sounds did you use please thank you
Too many to list as I blend a number of sounds together for each part.
But from memory, the blend includes sounds from Halion, Battery 4, Nexus Guitars, and my Roland FP60.
What a wonderful video. Insane skills mastering all that complicated DAW! And you bopping about just adds to the fun. So glad to see your channel. Any tips for a newbie starting out with DAWs? Which one would you recommend! Thank you!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.
I use Cubase Pro, but these days they're all good enough.
Music production is a complicated subject though, and takes years to really master. So if you're just starting out the biggest thing you'll need is patience 🙂
@@juliancroot Thank you for your advice. Is it possible to learn DAW and music production without knowing how to read music/play piano etc? I know I will have to read up and learn the technical details (attack, decay etc!)
@@wootle Yes, very possible to learn without instrument skills, though some basic keyboard skills will help for various reasons, not least for simply inputting notes on to the computer quickly.... unless you just intend to mix pre-made loops, which is not my thing.
@@juliancroot I want to avoid that copy-paste premade loops thing also! I will see if I can learn the basics of keyboard. Thank you again!
Is this in the original key? Or have I been playing this wrong sounds awesome btw
Its in the original key. From my ears that's F# minor, but it can lead your ears to thinking its in B major.
One mistake I've made in the past (Flashdance is an example) is listen to the song from the movie on a DVD made for the PAL region... in which case the film plays 4% faster (owing to the 25 frames per second standard in PAL regions) which then causes the music to play one semitone higher than it should.
But in this case I referenced the official single version which as I say is in F# minor.
@@juliancroot thank you so much for replying I love seeing covers played but in the original key can't believe I played this track in the wrong key keep up the good work and thanks again
I´aint afraid of no ghost
Aleluya
Who you gonna call???
GHOSTBUSTERS!!
It's a compliment from UA-cam if you get copyright striked 😂🤣
Most of my covers get claimed like this. Its fine as long as its only a claim, not a strike.
You can make a cover of certain songs if the distributer has an agreement with youtube to pass on any ad revenue to them.
The trick is checking what will be claimed or striked before starting work on it.
Please batman begins. Thank
I see you are using cubase 10
I'm on v11 now.
