My version of "Oh Holy Night"

[Aaron Smith]

Hey dudes. As stated in the subject line, I created my own version of the song "Oh Holy Night" for a little online contest. I've always really loved the chords and melodies of the song, and it lends itself well to the dramatic/epic orchestral vibe I kind of went for. Give it a listen!

Voted. Excellent piece man!

What bass synth are you using here? It has a NIN-ish quality to it, and I love the sound.

I think if you've added some ghostnotes to the percussion, it might've given it a bit more drive.
But still, it was pretty epic.

Oh... and when is your album out dude? I remember hearing a clip (reamped by Andy, mixed by Jens) and was seriously psyched to grab it!

Thanks for the compliments guys...

It's actually a couple different patches in Omnisphere- one that's very clean and dynamically contained (almost like a sine wave), and then a different patch that's much grittier (also with a pretty heavy dose of stereo delay and saturation). There's also a cello patch from Symphonic Orchestra in there, but it's not playing a huge role in the overall bass sound.

Oh... and when is your album out dude? I remember hearing a clip (reamped by Andy, mixed by Jens) and was seriously psyched to grab it!

Actually mixed by me, Jens only did the mastering. It's looking like it might be out in May, but there's some other news to announce first... I'll be posting about it on here soon enough!
