Jacob Collier

at 7:00 jacob opens keyscape and says that it is his favorite vst

In a reply to @connorthomasmusic, Ben lists the specifications of Jacob's Mac Pro: "It’s a Xeon W 3275M w/ 56 threads. Ours is 384G RAM. We have 10G network storage for the sessions." The processor, therefore, is the top spec, with the the fourth largest option for RAM.

In the description of Collier's cover of Close to You by The Carpenters, he says that two of these microphones were used to record the song. During the recording for In My Room, these were used as the main instrument microphones. They could be seen as drum overheads, guitar, and percussion microphones in various YouTube videos before 2017. Since 2017, when Ben Bloomberg outfitted his room with a bunch of recording equipment, these have wandered around the room a ton. They could be seen above the piano, as a vocal mic by the piano, but most recently (as of 2020), his pair (or possibly two pairs) of 414s are used on snare.

Jacob Collier frequently uses the Nord Stage 2 88-Key Stage Keyboard in his YouTube videos and live performances, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo on Audioxpress.

This microphone can be seen in the upper right hand corner by Jacob's head, throughout the live stream. He's used it since before In My Room, and transitioned to using his modified U87Ai when he got that in early 2018. The microphone has since been seen as his vocal microphone at the piano. After the power supply got fried, he switched to the Neumann for one performance and the AEA ribbon ever since.

In the description of Collier's cover of Close to You by The Carpenters, he says that this "trusty" microphone was used to record the song.

At 2:56 of this video, you can see his 18i20 interface on his desk.

He mentions this is his new main microphone towards the beginning.

His primary 6-string acoustic guitar for Djesse Vol. 1&2. Often tuned to DAEGAD. Time to Rest Your Weary Head, for example, was performed on this guitar, along with many other songs. The cedar top, the NEX body shape, and the ornamentations around the sound-hole and the headstock show that it has to be this guitar.

His family piano: the Yamaha U3AS. Shown & named in the linked video, starting at 23:35.

Seen clearly at 53:56 for the use as a MIDI controller in Jacob's room.

Seen all the way through the video as the vocal microphone for the lead Jacob. Typically positioned as a vocal microphone for the Wurlitzer along the wall. It was added to the room by October 2019, as it is visible in the recordings of James Copus laying down some trumpet tracks.

22 Nov 2017: Jacob uses AKG Q701 Quincy Jones Signature On-Ear Reference Headphones (Green) to mix his second #IHarmU stream

In the YouTube video "Hide and Seek - Jacob Collier [Live at House]," Jacob Collier uses a Shure SM7B microphone.

In this recording of "Don't You Know" with Snarky Puppy, Jacob can be seen using the Prophet '08 with a harmonizer.

In an Instagram post by Jacob Collier, he excitedly reveals the arrival of his Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar.

He mentions and shows in this livestream that he uses this plugin to make effects, as heard in his arrangement of Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing.

Jacob uses a pair of these to record stereo percussion and refers to them as his "trusty Mojaves" in several livestreams. They're seen in the background throughout this video & used at 1:19:15 and 1:23:25.

In a YouTube video titled "Jacob Collier and Grace Design," Jacob Collier's studio setup features the Avedis Audio R52. This two-space 500 series power supply with link mode is integrated into a 19″ 1U rack-mount, highlighting its role in his recording environment.

He uses this MIDI-keyboard in combination with his vocals. This keyboard is used almost every performance

Jacob talks about his new studio monitors

He started using it in 2020 for vocals when playing piano. It replaced the AKG C12VR after its power supply broke. Seen across multiple live streams and described by him as "a beautiful ribbon mic by AEA" and as "really special."

Top left corner of video at 2:01:14 shows him opening (and demonstrating) the software

From 2:01:42 to 2:01:58, Jacob says, "It's fun, isn't it?" and "It's nice for that kind of high impact bass voice(s)"

Jacob Collier is a Murat Diril Cymbals endorser. He used cheap Stagg cymbals in his earlier videos like "Road Not Taken (2012, https://youtu.be/0BE52oSiYKo)," but he changed to the professional grade Murat Diril Cymbals later in his videos like "Close To You (2014, https://youtu.be/9s1baxrxGHU)."

In this stream he uses REAPER to make sure he is audible throughout the stream, although Logic is his main DAW.

In the photo linked above, you can see the Taylor GS Mini-e. While the models currently being produced & sold have different electronics, Jacob's guitar seems to have the ES-B pickup & preamp. This can be explained by taking a look at the wood used for the body: layered walnut. Taylor used to make the GS Mini-e with a layered walnut body and the ES-B electronics, which is the version that Jacob owns.

As seen in the piano shots, propped up against the wall to the left of the upright bass. Distinguished by the red and white faders, this is clearly the YC61. It's seemingly not been used for any musical projects yet, but was likely intended as a stage piano for the post-Covid Djesse tour.

Jacob can be seen using this bass in multiple music videos, including 'Saviour', 'Close To You' & 'Fascinating Rhythm'.

At 3:24 in this video, the ROKIT 8 label on Collier's studio monitors comes into focus. These monitors were used during the production of Collier's debut album, In My Room.

Used in his concert with metropole orkest in trivoli vredenburg.
