Jacob Collier's Studio Equipment
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.
At 2:56 of this video, you can see his 18i20 interface on his desk.
Seen clearly at 53:56 for the use as a MIDI controller in Jacob's room.
He uses this MIDI-keyboard in combination with his vocals. This keyboard is used almost every performance
Used in his concert with metropole orkest in trivoli vredenburg.
In a user-uploaded photo on Miaopai, Jacob Collier is seen using the M-Audio Axiom 61 2nd Gen 61-Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller during a live performance, showcasing its role in his setup.
As seen on the ultimate image of Jacob gear above. He's used this monitor since late 2017, when Ben Bloomberg helped fill the room with new gear. It's a 4k monitor so that he can see as many tracks as possible at once, and it's 32" so everything isn't tiny at native resolution. It's branded Acer as seen on the picture, and from the bezels and the location of the USB-A ports on the right side, you can make out that it's the BM320.
In this YouTube Video we can see at 00:52 his rack, in it, we can find the Focusrite 4Pre
Jacob has taken out multiple Novation SL MkIII controller keyboards on his latest Djesse tour (2019), including his own 61SL MkIII
Visible in this live performance of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing," particularly at 5:43.
At 26:24, he says "Moving over here, we have the Matroxes, which run my camera system." Three of these video encoder devices record video sources in his room (like the room camera on the ceiling, for example) and move the files on to a hard drive. This video system was probably set up some time around September or October 2019, since videos of Daniel Caesar and James Copus, recording "Time Alone with You" have been posted on Jacob's Instagram.
At 26:24, he says "Moving over here, we have the Matroxes, which run my camera system." Just below the three Matrox encoders, we can see the Blackmagic video mixer, which he uses to switch between his screen recording, face camera, keyboard camera, and room camera during YouTube livestreams. This video system was probably set up some time around September or October 2019, since videos of Daniel Caesar and James Copus, recording "Time Alone with You" have been posted on Jacob's Instagram.
Can be seen using at 0:50 (and later)
On Jacob Collier's Djesse tour, he and Maro use Novation SL MKIII keyboards to play and control various parameters in the show.
In this documentary, at 9:40 a pair of Distressors can be seen in Jacob's rack mount.
In the "All Night Long" music video by Jacob Collier, Jacob briefly uses the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 keyboard controller, particularly visibly at the 5:29 timestamp. Judging by the controls, this appears to be the Mk1 version, and the official Native Instruments website confirms that Collier has since transitioned to employing the Mk3 version of this controller for both his live performances and studio work.
In this video, Jacob used the Kontrol S61 Mk3 61-key Smart Keyboard Controller while breaking his instrument with native instruments. It's called the Jacob Collier Audience Choir.
At 22:06 of the YouTube video "INSIDE: Jacob Collier's Home Studio" by Caleb Simpson, a large Elgato Stream Deck XL is clearly visible in Jacob Collier's setup.
In the YouTube video titled "Jacob Collier's Audience Choir Experiment," Jacob Collier demonstrates his use of a virtual studio technology (VST) plugin with the M-Audio Keystudio 49-Key USB Keyboard Controller. This is verified through the video provided by Tape Notes Podcast.
