Couldn't agree more. Of course he's naturally very gifted, but in my mind it all comes down to just how resourceful and hard working he was. Definitely something that was instilled in him as a child, but also clearly just so motivated to be the absolute best in his own right. It's incredible to see (and a lot of fun to break down like this ahah!). So Inspiring 👑
Thank you Matt, that really means a lot! I'm glad you're enjoying them ❤️ Can't wait to keep doing more MJ tracks - do you have any requests / ones you haven't seen covered? I'd love to dive into something new for you
There’s something really special about Michael! His Looks, voice, fashion, dancing all of it. I like that you included the music video clip too.. he was extraordinary but also the way you break his songs down like this show how human it all is. I can’t wait for more videos!
I absolutely love how Michael's music makes you blush and grin and smile. I'm the same way. Watching you is like looking in a mirror. Mike's had me like that since I was like 3. It's just a vibe.
The chimpanzee sounds were done with a Synclavier, the Synthclavier uses FM synthesis to change samples into keyboard sounds, and to manipulate sounds together, hence creating the chimpanzee/Keyboard sound hybrid!
Legend, thank you for the insight! It's a real tasty sound. Also just checked out your Billie Jean performance.. Insanely good, you have a real strong voice. Keep up the great work 🙏🏽
I'm so glad you enjoyed! Not sure if you've seen the Bad video from a couple weeks back, but the strings and vocals are just as good there too! I'm trying not to do just MJ every week.. but Liberian Girl is just sitting there begging to be turned into a video ahah, that ending is next level 😍 It would've been great to see him do an MTV Unplugged hey? No bells and whistles, just his voice and a few live instruments. And thank you for the support too, I really appreciate it mate 🙏🏽
Mr.McCormak, thanks for these insights into such extraordinary music. As a child of the 80’s, MJ was the musical imprint on my brain. To hear such layered talent shared decades later is pure joy 🙏
It’s my absolute pleasure man, so so glad you’re enjoying all the videos! Growing up in the 80’s would’ve been incredible for music, listening to it all at the time 😍
@6:03 I couldn't imagine how anyone could hear this as that's literally one of the best sounds in the entire song (2nd to the "chimpanzees" 😅) . Especially in the full video version during the lean 🎻. Just beautiful.
It is just beautiful hey! Listening to those strings at the end with the vocals just kills me every time 😍 The Chimps too! 🔥 Can't wait to get into more MJ tracks together, he has so many hits
Yep facts. Those sonic the hedgehog songs are absolute bangers too, he definitely knows how to make a hit! What are some of your favourite MJ tracks? Would love to break down of those down for you 🫶🏻🔥
@@sammymccormack_ I cant believe that Michael Jackson made the music for Sonic 3!! I just know this reading this comments, and its true, Sonic 3 Ice Cap has the strings of Smooth Criminalllllllllllllllll
This is amazing man. Great detail and great breakdown! Can I request Give Into Me by Michael Jackson? I know these probably take time and effort, so just throwing it out there. Subscribed
Thank you for love man! Give in to me is so so good, I'll see what we can do 🤝 And I appreciate you understanding the time and energy too, hopefully as we grow we can keep building out hehe
Thank you for the kind words ❤️ MJ is just incredible, his whole creative vision is crazy. Yet, it begins to feel quite human when you break it down like this... can't wait to do more of his songs!
He really was incredible, so so keen to dive into more of his tracks together! Are there any in particular you'd love to see? I know it's hard to pick ahah, so just go ham, as many as you want and I'll see what we can do 🙏🏽 And thank you for the love, I really appreciate it 🥰🙏🏽🤝
@@Hellab0i can definitely do both of these for you! Was actually thinking Ghosts for Halloween! although it’s hard to pass thriller.. maybe we do both?! Very different songs so it would be pretty epic to do them back to back. Either way, consider it done 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You're so right, perfectionist and professional at the highest level! That's amazing insight too, thank you. The Chimp sound is just so addicting to me ahah. Also, new MJ video dropping this weekend, and it's an absolute monster (pun intended!) 🔥❤️
If you do more videos, please make Speed Demon or Just Good Friends, i just love the instrumental of both. I think these two are what have the best instrumentals in the album, btw, your videos are awesome
Yess they're great tracks, speed demon has such a cool attitude, and just good friends (while always clowned on 😞) has such heart to it, Stevie and MJ are unmatched. Thank you for the support too ❤️
@@sammymccormack_ Did take me a while to accept 'Just Good Friends' cos it's kinda goofy but now I kinda love it. Still my least fave track on the album but when it's an album with so many absolute classics that's not a bad thing. :)
@@Carn_Is_Done couldn’t agree more ahah, so goofy, but eventually becomes part of the charm! I was listening a month is so ago driving home - Stevie going crazy on vocals was so fun driving and singing along with, that’s when it finally clicked for me! also, not MJ related - but just uploaded this weeks vid 🤭
@@sammymccormack_ Oh I see it's a Britney one. Like MJ she was also trashed by the media and exploited and used by proven fraud Wade Robson. I'mma go watch that when I get home. :)
Definitely a lot of parallels between Britney and MJ unfortunately, the early 00’s press was absolutely ruthless. I couldn’t even imagine what that must’ve been like to try and navigate, and everything that’s come before and after. Two incredibly strong people. Completely unrelated (well, sort of related actually) but new video drops in a couple hours.. I think you’ll enjoy! Not Britney or MJ this week, but perhaps the perfect combination of them both… if you get where I’m going 🤫

The “chimpanzee” track sounds like a composite, perhaps one of the elements is a Japanese flute called a shakuhachi. It was a popular sound on synths in the 80s.
It has a very addictive quality too it! Thank you for the culture lesson 🙏🏽 I’m gonna do some digging on the Shakuhachi tomorrow, would love to learn more about the sound!
I'm so glad you're enjoying them! Thank you for the love 🥰 The Less I Know The Better is an absolute tune - I'd love to do that for you, adde to the list ❤️🙏🏽
My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed! And can most definitely do that WBSS, real keen to do all of Off The Wall. Also, another MJ video is dropping tonight! I hope you love it 🥰❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you 🙏🏽❤️ Will be plenty more MJ tracks on the way too, you already know thriller will be coming for halloween ahah. Maybe Dirty Diana next too? Still thinking about that one, what do you think? Thank you again 🫶🏻
The DAW I use Logic Pro! It’s made by apple, so don’t think it’s on PC unfortunately. There are quite a few options out there though that all do similar things, and not toooo pricey. If you do some YouTubing or look online for “cheap or best DAW’s for windows” there would definitely be something there for you 🙏🏽
Hi! I got a list of song requests that im begging you to do a break down PRETTY PLEASEEEEEEEE like the music and the vocals on it are INSANE! ISTFG ANYWAY THE LIST IS: perfect by Selena Gomez Talk that talk by Rihanna Desperado by Rihanna 7 rings by Ariana Grande Froot by Marina and the diamonds Hello bitches by CL Love in the sky by The weeknd Puppet by faouzia Sick and twisted by chris grey The heart wants what it wants by selena gomez Give it to me by Michael Jackson
Yessss some unreal picks in here! Added them all to the list, I’ll see if I can get these tracks for you 🫶🏼 Love to see some love for Give In To Me too. There’s a veryyy big MJ video dropping in a few hours, I’d love to know what you think of it! 🔥❤️❤️
777!!! 7th Hour!!! STARBOY Has 7 Letters!!! And The Luminous 7 On His Chest!!! I BeLIEve This IS A Very Direct CLUE From MJ!!! 777=MJ LIVES!!! It Is Time For ALL MJ Fans To BeLIEve!!! “THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!! SEE YOU IN JULY, MoonWalkers!!!” Bamday 2025!!!
This is what I call "Real Music, Real Hardwork". Michael Jackson was real music, a real artist. Period!
Couldn't agree more. Of course he's naturally very gifted, but in my mind it all comes down to just how resourceful and hard working he was. Definitely something that was instilled in him as a child, but also clearly just so motivated to be the absolute best in his own right. It's incredible to see (and a lot of fun to break down like this ahah!). So Inspiring 👑
That MJ clap was much like a signature clap used in MJ songs. Specially in the Dangerous album you can hear them very clearly in almost every song.
Seen a lot of MJ multi track breakdowns and these are the best, you let the music speak for itself and solo the correct parts at the right times.
Thank you Matt, that really means a lot! I'm glad you're enjoying them ❤️
Can't wait to keep doing more MJ tracks - do you have any requests / ones you haven't seen covered? I'd love to dive into something new for you
@sammymccormack_ Thank you for replying, would love any Elton or Meat Loaf multi tracks if you can get them.
Great work but how do you get hold of the individual multi tracks
There’s something really special about Michael! His Looks, voice, fashion, dancing all of it. I like that you included the music video clip too.. he was extraordinary but also the way you break his songs down like this show how human it all is. I can’t wait for more videos!
I just replied with this in another comment ahah! I couldn't agree more. Thank you for hanging around
He had it all. A true icon and legend.

that sound can also be heard on yah mo b there by michael mcdonald and james ingraham.
I’m so glad you did that stripped back version at the end. The goosebumps I got mate, thank you…..
I'm so glad you enjoyed! Not sure if you've seen the Bad video from a couple weeks back, but the strings and vocals are just as good there too! I'm trying not to do just MJ every week.. but Liberian Girl is just sitting there begging to be turned into a video ahah, that ending is next level 😍

Another Epic Video!! You’re officially my new favourite UA-camr. Hearing just the strings with Michael Jackson’s singing at the end was OP
Thank you ❤️ Agreed, strings and vocals hit hard everytime!
MJ - YOU ROCK MY WORLD PLEASE

Those sample layers though!
It's no wonder the production sounds so thick.
Love your enthusiasm!
So so good! Thank you for the love, I really appreciate it. New MJ video dropping tonight for you 🙏🏽❤️
I cannot stand that Bass layering. Its filthy. Absolute perfection.
Sooo filthy! The layers just keep going and going ahah, It's the best 🔥
I’m obsessed with your videos.
❤️❤️❤️
Goddamn! You and Chris Liepe are the best to do this ! Whooooh! Fire! Rest in POWER MJ! The greatest of all Time!

no one create song like MJ, I can even hear Sonic hedgehog in it, he's so inspiring during his golden age

Incredible content. Go on mate
Thank you for the love 🥰🫶🏻 plenty more MJ bangers on the way!
I would love to see you do Michael and Janet’s “Scream”. The harmonies alone would melt my ears in the most pleasing of way.
These is the best breakdown by Michael I have seen. Hia voice was magic❤

Thank you!!!!! The instrumental of "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson is so good, I just added it to Spotify,
Nice video
Btw thanks for adding my song recommendations, there will be more to come! 😊
Thank you very much! Can't wait 😍
Michael jackson took music seriously and he was a perfectionist. The chimpanzee sounds were made by a synclavier in a synthesiser

Most definitely! 😮💨 I hope you hang around mate, I’ll get this done for you soon 🤝
@ 9:27 the stab horns i am sure that is Quincy's idea
Mj music had layers like a cake
Quincy comes from jazz and big band music
i am sure some of the unique details are his ideas
They made legendary music together
The “chimpanzee” track sounds like a composite, perhaps one of the elements is a Japanese flute called a shakuhachi. It was a popular sound on synths in the 80s.
It has a very addictive quality too it! Thank you for the culture lesson 🙏🏽 I’m gonna do some digging on the Shakuhachi tomorrow, would love to learn more about the sound!
Thanks again! 👌
My pleasure, thank you for the love! There's plenty more MJ to come 🔥👑
WOW!!
Next level hey!
great job
Thank you! Many more MJ videos to come ❤️
I'm really LOVING those videos! ❤ can you please do "The Less I Know The Better" by Tame Impala? I just love his songs!

@@sammymccormack_ I enjoy these instrumentals (they're masterpieces) and I really like how you reconstruct them.
How do you sort them out specifically the strings with the vocals
your reaction is a "criminal" 🥰
Muito bom isso!
I have a question how were you able to sort them out because i have a copy of the tracks i cant organize them help me
Would you do any Beatles songs? Like Here Comes The Sun or Strawberry Fields Forever? They experimented a lot with sounds
what software did you use to mix it? can it work on windows without VM? does it cost money?
The DAW I use Logic Pro! It’s made by apple, so don’t think it’s on PC unfortunately. There are quite a few options out there though that all do similar things, and not toooo pricey.
If you do some YouTubing or look online for “cheap or best DAW’s for windows” there would definitely be something there for you 🙏🏽
