Ghostbusters synth cover

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.
If you appreciate my work, or have any questions, please let me know in the comments and leave me a like... it means a lot to me.

The most accurate part of this video is that even as a practiced musician you can't help bopping out to the tune.

@juliancroot 11 ай бұрын

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.

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.

Is this in the original key? Or have I been playing this wrong sounds awesome btw

@juliancroot 8 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.
