@Michael B Don't be so butthurt 😂, the comment doesn't imply that other music schools don't find this a summer hit lmao, it's just funnier when you use the most recognized music school.
56:42 adds a B natural to chord - 'my bad for releasing the song before it was finished' 😂
😂😂😂
Changed in the music video he released today!
I think what I admire most about Jacob is his ability to make highly technologically-mediated music feel handmade, organic, and above all *human*. Like, he is clearly master of the DAW and uses it as an amazing creative tool, yet he is always striving to add human touches and composing in a very off the grid way. Watching him fling sounds onto a blank Logic session feels like watching Jackson Pollack fling paint onto a canvas. The balance of spontaneity and intentionality/attention to detail is wonderful.
I was going to say something along similar lines in that, these streams help take off all the "god-like" hype and humanize him a little more and hopefully encourages more people to create their own thing without putting their idols on such unattainable status.
Very well articulated. It's such a blessing that he shares these sessions with us for free. I would pay for one viewing, and I'm sure I'm not the only one
Yes indeed
you forgot nutritious.. 😂
idk about Jackson Pollack,
45:36 Jacob calling Ty: Hey man, wanna collab? *holds phone in front of mic and presses record*
Ty: YEEEAAHHHHEEEIIIIIEEAAAHHH of course man, shall I come over?
Jacob: No I got it.
I fucking died when that happened 😂
BRUH IM DYINGGG ITS SO GOOD-
When Mahalia first comes in with the "Hiii" - that is the nicest moment in the track for me
Beast of a vocal run
It’s astounding.
5:56 This man has a folder on his computer named “Dekstop” and I’ve decided he’s my favorite human ever
probably made a folder in his desktop named desktop to store everything while he streamed, so we wouldn't be seeing everything he's up to. He'll probably move everything inside that folder to the actual desktop (if that's even a thing on Mac) after he's done streaming.
@@SkinsFirstGeneration nah, I have various versions of my desktop lol
Now i have to put a desktop folder in my desktop folder in a desktop screenshot stored in a desktop folder filled with desktop screenshots containing desktop folders placed in my desktop with a desktop background of a desktop folder with desktop screenshots of a desktop filled with desktop folders filled with desktop folderscreenshots of my desktop wallpapers.
A lot of producers do that
@@dtprod2437 really? What's the purpose?
1:10:38
"If I wasn’t the mixing engineer for the session, then I wouldn’t have the feedback loop that I get when I turn something down and I realise that I didn’t need the thing at all, or that this thing only needed to be half as dense, or I needed to have an extra gong or an extra sprinkle here. All these realisations that occur to you when you’re mixing don’t occur to you when you’re recording. So that’s why you have to be part of all the parts of your process, if you want to do your tastes the best justice.”
Protect Jacob Collier at all costs.
Me: This guy is a GENIUS
My friend: Nah.. he does too much..
Me: Nah man just perfect!
Jacob: *Overloads 384GB RAM
really! i am scared even imagine how much does it cost
It's around £5000.
I get the point, but no chance that his session loads over 384 GB RAM. Given all his FX on about every channel, I would guess the system overload is referring to the CPU not able to process the playback, but my guess would be around 4-5GB of system RAM usage + 2GB Logic usage and around the same for the instruments. Most macs can handle that. But a 28 core Mac overloading CPU is what really should be turning heads. That's absolute lunacy!
Given that he states that his Mac has 28 cores and 384GB RAM, we're not talking about the base model of £5000, but more like £18 000-ish
in fact... a daw runs mostly on single core processes.. so, its about how strong a single core is, rather then how many cores does cpu have...
i don't know why, but that's how it works
@@filipgjud8922 Sort of, you can enable Logic to spread load across cores. But certain applications and plugins will only use one core. Not entirely sure why
everyone: woah! this is one of his most "normal" songs!
jacob: so yeah, this is 700 tracks
His brain gets in the way of his ear, at times.
An idea for a new challenge: Someone changes only little details and Jacob has to find out only by hearing.
I find it ironic that in all the logic breakdowns logic breaks down
😂😂
So underrated your comment there LOL 😂
haha, nice
it’s ironic yet counterintuitively appropriate, nice one! 😂
Jacob saying "banger" so matter-of-factly is beautiful

love youu tnhks I need to write down thiss!
Bright to dark
Heavy to soft
I love how his songs are never finished, they’re just released
That's the case for all artists... I remember Lars Ulrich from Metallica asking how one could decide that a song could be "finished", how does one make that decision? And making a parallel with painters, e.g. Pollock.
"sounds like bacon" is the best description I've ever heard
So I'm not the only one who heard him say that! I thought I was going crazy (also 90 degree elbow wiggle vs 20 degree elbow wiggle and arm hair and monkey)
37:05 "I've done a- I... I did a thing, ok, and I did a thing because I wanted to....... because I wanted to, that's why I did it."
That's some inspirational stuff right there

36:46 "Euphoric" is a great way to describe this second chorus. It feels like being unexpectedly lifted up by your dad as a kid and set on his shoulders.
51:03 - 51:20
Jacob explains very simply how to make a song in logic just like he does
Bruh
I swear this man is so entertaining that I watched a whole hour of him talking abt his song and I didnt think of sleeping. I'm telling he hit diff
#ReleasetheBnaturalRemix
It'll probably be in the album version. It will be a kind of wink to people who watched the stream :)
41:05 His computer costs $30,000 and still gets system overloads. Incredible
I didn’t know computers could be that expensive!!? Surely he could do it on a normal one
@@jasper24601 lol no. you need a fast processor to handle all that data and a lot of ram to store the current project data.. regular computers would crash constantly and move unbearably slow.
not to mention a solid motherboard, cpu cooler, and other compatible components that can keep up.. but since he's also on a mac, the price doubles cause they're pre-built.
gluedmonkey Amazing ! Thanks
Jasper yeah its the same with loading high quality visuals from videos and video games. that’s why gaming PCs are usually over 1500$
@@gluedmonkey The motherboard doesn’t make that much of a difference. And macs are overpriced because apple likes doing that, not just because they’re prebuilt. Also saying that gaming PCs are usually over 1500 dollars is a huge generalization. There are a lot of gaming configs that can be built under 1000. Also a lot of the crashing probably is cause by the program itself, not the computer.
Master class on sound textures and dimensions and how to combine them and give space to each of them: 23:08 - 27:03
Master class on the fundamentals of art and design. That was a whole textbook worth of wisdom in 4 minutes.
THANK YOU I was looking for this a college methodology ❤
Nobody:
Jacob: Euphoric, mid tempo, incandescent, banger.

Id say a "22 yo Jacob Collier" is cuter but
25 yo Jacob's intelligence right now makes him way more hotter
So
22 yo Jacob = the cutest
25 yo Jacob = the hottest
Wouldn't even TRY. Cause it's true...
"wHo ArE yOU?!" Jacob is the cutest

thats why i did it"

Apple: "The most powerful Mac Pro yet"
Jacob: "Hold my tracks"
It brings me so much joy to have Jacob share his projects. Someone who has so much experience just putting it all infront of you is a truly unique thing. you rarely ever see music studio artist literally walk you through EVERY part of their project. I never knew he was so involved in mixing his own songs until now. It also goes to show that anyone can make music in their own home if they put in the time an effort.
Geeze, even the rough draft of the song is awesome.
normal artist's songs are Jacob Collier's rough drafts
The sound he shows off at 12:20 is gorgeous. Would make an awesome song on its own
never in my life i thought my heart could flutter because of excessive love and happines while learning about logic. thank you jacob. you are a wonder.
57:54 I am in love with these harmonies!! I am smashing the replay only for this section.
If he starts producing EDM the game is over
What’s EDM
@@coltrv electronic dance music. cmon bruh, itstead of typing that u could've just types that into google and gotten the answer
Agni Herur sorry I offended you with a simple question
@@ugnug ok didnt have to be so salty there man..
Agni Herur intp or entp spotted
Massive respect to Jacob, obviously. But I feel like somebody needs to challenge him to make a song with a 4 track tape recorder or something 😆
that's how you torture jacob, imagine how frustrated he would be when his ideas are limited to that extent lol
You know it’ll be the best thing you ever hear
41:15 Finally, Jacob talking about the Specs on his computer!!
And damn what a great song and what the hell, it seems that Apple made that update of creating 1000 stems just only for Jacob🙄👌🏻
How crazy is that we can watch a genius at work in his room in the midst of his career, like 50 years from now this video gonna be music history
i still really hate how he talks about b half flat, like ... bro that's jus inaccessible lmaooo, is he tuning every instrument and vocal recording down 25 cents ? microtonality? wtf?
It’s insane that his demos are better mixed than anything I’ve ever tried.
I also love how he just shows how he makes his stuff because he knows you can’t copy him

I'm so in awe of all of this. I am now convinced Jacob is an alien here to expand music folk minds. Sure when you hear the song yer blown away. But now I get to sit here and learn about what he does and how he does it. This is exactly the type of content I need and want. What a blessing mate! I knew I was hooked when he empathized, complemented, and showed appreciation to his poor computer. Sometimes it happens. Someone needs to build this man a computer that can actually keep up with his mind! STAT!! It's incredible. I love his music, his mind, and most of all his spirit. What an inspiration. So elegant in his words. I'm just blown away.. Thank you so much Jacob!
As soon as I heard the first couple chords of this song I knew I was going to love it. And after listening to it an unhealthy amount of times I came across this logic breakdown. Now I love it even more.
This is a blessing thank you brother🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
I love these Logic deconstructions!!
Thank you for your sincere generosity in not only sharing your music, but letting the world in to be able to witness your process, or as I call it “secret sauce”.
Nice folder called "DEKSTOP". I imagine that was a typo at first and Jacob just went "ah, that'll do".
There is literally no words to define how freaking mad u are bro. Holly. Thank you for making us all so happy and sharing ur soul
Hello Jacob you might not read this comment but i just want to tell you that you are such an amazing artist and you never stopped to impress me and many other musicians. I love the fact that you use microtonality in your music it's just amazing how you modulate to a key that doesnt even exist. I just wanted to say thanks you will forever change the way we percieve music.
Listening to this man talk makes me high. Don’t get a big head, Jacob. Stay humble. You’re awesome.
genius describes his years of Grammy-award winning compositions: "mucking around with music"
Mr. Collier, I have been following your career for over 6 years with amazement, awe, and gratitude. As if the Universe gathered an incredible team to create a human being that would generate a revolution in the music world, and would let unprecedented harmonies, rhythms and creations out of his illuminated brain that blow our minds. I listen with attention to all details and they all make me so happy to be alive. On top of it, in the midst of this pandemic, "All I need" came, as a blessing, litterally. So I celebrate, from Montreal, Canada, not just all you can do, but everything you are.
A blessing to our souls
43:01 when you miss the pins in Wii bowling
As an absolute musical layman I love the way these explanatory clips isolate the layers of sound. Adds a much more detailed appreciation for the complexity!
You are a phenomenal amazing musician.
I can't even grasp the amount of talent you have.
It....it's like magic.
When Rick Beato does a "What Makes This Song Great" on this one, his computer will melt trying to open 650 tracks!
Will he though?
he better get the b natural tracks
Thanks a lot, Jacob, that was amazing! I'm sure you know this, but you can bounce your software instrument tracks to audio tracks and work with them instead of having Logic loading and dealing with the software all the time. That way Logic won't crash.
Jorge B Based on his workflow & thought process, he’ll change stuff around so he’d prolly want everything dynamic instead of static.
I often wondered what it was to live in the lifetime of Mozart but now I‘m so glad to see Jacob live for the second time in July - for me, I never saw/heard of a human that has such a comprehensive feeling and understanding for/of music as you - ever! It‘s a bless! I wish you all the best and the love to always take care for your well being and not get burned by the world and the industry.
Not only is he a great musician but he’s also an incredible producer 😲
What a guy. So inspiring !
He has told the story about how we got the stomp clap samples in every live he’s done
has a Bach chorale book sitting on the piano
*incorporates a Bach chorale into a pop/rnb song at **1:04:08*
what a mad lad
What's not PERFECT about this human?!
His attention for details is amazing... wow...
flexing with the 4 grammies on the piano
@@grudman7885 Yeah I'm more jealous of the Wurlie!
Jacob's existence is a flex. Deal with it.
I guess they'll soon be five after this hit
The funniest thing to me is that no matter how long you watch his sessions or how many hours you put into understanding his music, most of us will never reach his complexity xD
I gotta say… I FREAKING LOVE JACOB. He’s such a nerd and it’s awesome. What a genius.
How time changes. You can watch extreme talented artists while they’re working. When I grew up I would have died for it!
31:33 I love this sentence...
sometimes i put this on while im studying because his passion makes me work harder
Would love to hear a Jacob Collier cover of in the wee small hours of the morning
He did In The Real Early Morning, close enough right haha

"You unlocked a new level: of BASS"
ahum, Jacob giving pop songs new goals as well as tutorials to follow up..Smart.....
p.s. big fan of yours, love you, take care.
It's not the same to listen to this song after this. There's so many details I can't even believe it! I've never listened to a musician like this. Such a intelligent and unique personality! I'm going to binge all his content. Amazing.
watching this in january makes me appreciate the birds in the background even more
0:40 - My brain while I'm sat in an online class
The fact you even do these. You’re so cooool
In the past... I haven’t watched the breakdown sessions but never again will I pass up the opportunity. I’m learned SO much from this. Incredible!
As someone who knows bugger all about music (I love music, just don't know how it works 😆) I really haven't got a bloody clue what you're talking about. But I can listen to you for ages. You're truly a lovely young man.
Wow. Fire. Fascinating. Genius. Mind blown and I can't get enough of this guy's music and the things that come out of his brain. Only 25? I can't even.
5:05 props for giving those track names
The chorus always gives me the best kind of goosebumps
Woah. He really did musically outsmart & overwork a whole musical production software & a whole computer.
Damn JC day after day you are an inspiration not only for your musical intelligence but your dedication to your art and sharing it. Hope we one day meet and I can truly comprehend your talent.
SOMEONE MAKE 26:53 A MEME: "You unlocked a new level of B A S S!”
I'm a new fan, but for life I can tell already. I love the chord in the second chorus after the line "let your love shine" ..ahhhh.. for one beat of a bar. I think it might be the chord he was trying to play before the CPU overloaded, but man I want to live inside that chord.
jacob no sabes cuánto te amo, I love your joy so much, your passión for music and life really inspires me and always makes me smile and vibrate. Much much love from Chile
He has 384 GB of RAM and sometimes gets System Overlad when he has over 600 tracks, meanwhile I'm here with my 4 GB getting system overload when using more than 5 samplers at the same time
14:01 All I need is a remix with this bass synth emphasized 10x.
Is such a joy to see jacob talking about music in general, as a producer during lockdown, is so hard to get any inspiration to make music, but listening to jacob for 5 minutes and is impossible to not fall back in love with making music.
Amazing, of course. But the fact that he's raising money for his friends who are without work is just so wholesome 💯 Jacob you truly are a gem in this world. Much love!!
Jacob should get money for doing a long ad for Logic Pro by apple
This man is craaaaazzzyyyyyy damn, all these automations and stacks of vocals too many details,damn! Hats off!
All I Need is my favorite Jacob Collier song from Djesse Vol 3, it's the one that gets in my head the most 😍 Sooo impressive how much work goes into it.
Didn't know this guy. Came here for plugin tips. Stayed for plugin tips. Leave with a new artist on my playlists. Gotta love youtube.
*"You know those days when you just want ta... incandesce?"*
So we’re not gonna talk about how to beginning of the song sounds like the beginning of Love Theory by Kirk Franklin?
Heard it tooo
i think of love theory everytime i hear this song, but no one that i know listens to kirk and jacob both so i had no one to tell haha
True!
One of the things that makes me curious about Jacob Collier is his very obvious borrowing from sounds of gospel. It’s glaring, but I haven’t heard it addressed head-on
@@crystalkennedy1564 he talks about it a tiny bit in the moon river breakdown. He knows and is aware of it if that is part of your curiosity.
Hearing and seeing how "All I Need" was constructed and came to be is just as beautiful and mesmerizing as the actual song itself! ❤️ Jacob thank you for sharing it's amazing!
Holy crap, those superimposed LFOs at 11:40. I had heard that the kids these days were using LFOtool instead of a sidechain compressor to create that pumping sound, but it's really cool to see it being used as both a compressor and a gate *at the same time*.
