This editor goes so hard for this video and it's freaking incredible 😂🎉🔥

[@Nannada1212]

Fun!

[@SemiDanMan]

I absolutely love the editing on this video! I laughed out loud multiple times when some edits caught me off guard.

[@PatrickHaeslerMusic]

Cory I am BEGGING for an on the one of anything from Turbo (but would love to hear about Thriller and Ring of Saturn in particular)

[@cdanielpetersson]

I agree

[@AdamDavisMusic]

Let's Go! Cory speaking the truth about timpani. Also, can't go wrong with orchestra hits.

[@PeterVred]

No, you can’t go Wong…

[@danielforde-pogson]

Same as panini!! Oh man, how many times do you see 'paninis' on a menu?!

[@danielforde-pogson]

Exactly. Preschoolers DO need to know! I used to teach mine this stuff at that age!

[@cheeseaddict]

Wongs cafe was the first thing that got me into vulf and I slowly spread out to other artists, y'all opened a new world of music. But the one song that completely sold me was "Disco de lune". HOT DAMN that song is absolutely perfect

[@Nannada1212]

Something about that song makes me cry sometimes, but in a soothing way.

[@Slappyhorse]

Cory wong was the first of the vulf universe I found too. I think it was the song Better

[@cheeseaddict]

@@Slappyhorse Woah that's a throw back! I can't believe I've been a fan for so long, and my love is still going strong!

[@Slappyhorse]

@@cheeseaddict lol BUT i only discovered it late last year haha. youre lucky i wish i knew these guys that early in the game

[@Jonnysh]

27:20 left me so unsatisfied - I had to go buy a noise maker and some confetti and do it myself

[@s2szn]

Do a pushup every time Cory say's "fun" in this vid. You gonna be swole by halfway through the vid

[@beyerdynamic]

What an entertaining and insightful video 🔥This was really fun to watch, thanks Cory, also for the feedback on our headphones 🎧

[@kettererthibault663]

I'd love to see a tour of your studio (and a run down of all your cool guitars!)

[@thesagapov]

Been using these as reference for my own compositions/mixing, such great info

[@caseyhennessy7300]

I’d love to see an One the One episode on Gumshü. I simply will never get tired of making my neck sore jamming to it.

[@petergamble9436]

Subscribed for the “kind of fun” confetti and DMB shoutout.

[@trofl]

Well since you insist... I would love an On the One of Over the Mountain... the iso on Sonny's and Sierra's solos have got to be a trip.

[@ramkostudios]

you know what I gotta go to work in about an hour and life's been getting me pretty down lately.... but I wanna thank you Cory because you make me want to grab my bass and throw down some tracks ...thanx Cory

[@kane6529]

Hope things turn around for you man! Music always helps lift my spirits I’m depressed when I don’t play for sure!

[@thesmithyboy1490]

Concrete - Lettieri’s solo, Sonny’s funk, the tight horns, and unavoidable stank face that comes when listening to that song calls for an ON THE ONE!

[@louis20833]

Have listened to this track probably >50 times and haven't picked up on 90% of these details. The amount of attention to the mastering is incredible. Thanks for documenting the process!

[@davidmendes3337]

Is it weird that i love the editing in this video almost as much as the music in it! 😁😉

[@ybhamster]

First "On the One" that I have watched and it won't be the last. Breakdown of one of my favorite songs is so cool. Thanks!

[@cowboycave5071]

Airplane Mode is my favorite song, and I really love it in this song and that live version of Frogville. So groovy!

[@elmariachi451]

Breakdown "Radio Shack"!! Another one of my favorite tunes off that same album!

[@lukelarson605]

I would love to see an On the One for First Avenue. That song is incredible! Also love the editing in this video. Kept it really fun. So that’s fun.

[@Vermoot]

Regurgitating? COME ON! I've always LOVED that you (and vulf) re-used parts and ideas, giving them new life in different songs and all. That 91 maxima solo, Airplane mode, Grandma/Bicentennial, Companion Pass/Takeoff, etc. They kinda feel like easter eggs at times, and it's always fun to re-discover them.

[@sounds_like_matt]

It's So funny that Cory has this developed this wildly popular signature guitar tone (featured in plug-ins that guitarists pay good money to emulate) and it's so dry that he can't even tell whether he recorded through an amp or straight in without one lol. Love it.

[@mattoakes6010]

Entertaining and insightful… these are awesome! Also loving the F#7add4/E chord….

[@mateogoron]

Excellent breakdown + editing as per, thanks for pointing out that subtle difference between Airplane Mode and Let's Go; I thought I'd gone mad thinking it sounded 'wrong' when playing the Cmaj instead of the C#min! Also do I hear the Smash Bros. audience gasping sound effect at 7:12 ??

[@RollieMcSplat]

15:30 why go into Do Not Disturb when you can go into..... Airplane Mode???

[@aetherhuehue4816]

I like how Joe Dart is not playing a bass, but a "JOE DART BASS" as stated in the video description.

[@joshfarmermusic]

“Sounds like a zebra synth? I think it’s a zebra synth. It’s pretty cool”

[@nolanlittle2794]

The insight is amazing, but the editing has me cry laughing at my desk. The digital zoom in on the microphone after slapping it down on the desk...brilliant visual storytelling.

[@nicholastamcello]

My absolute favourite song from Wong's Cafe

[@BivouacBob]

I love the shoutout Cory gives Woody for his solo - I saw the Wongnotes at the Beacon and Kevin absolutely crushed this solo

[@Austin_Rummel]

This was a very fun🎉 video!

[@matto9734]

Power Of Love by Huey Lewis & The News in the beginning ;-)

[@SethPlaysBass]

sounds like cory into the princeton rvb and jack into the DI comp. idk

[@sonatagmajor]

Cory this is amazing but man this edit had me cracking the whole 28 mins haha you're entretaining to watch 😆

[@freight_train13]

Me, a bass player, watching all the guitar layers: "hmm yes, interesting."

[@ExtraFancy96]

I come away from these breakdowns with a whole different view on the songs. So sick to see the bts on the development

[@RiverLionn]

"Why are these guitars out of tune?" My guy look outside, it's winter in Minnesota

[@SuperBriansmoke]

There has to be a Huey Lewis vocal overdub mashed in to this.

[@jdlm9]

Playing a guitar through a cheap Karaoke to get a cool sound, the analogue of using shitty digital cameras from the 2000’s to get a cool look.

[@mthomas9854]

Would love to see Synchronicity On the One!

[@tidongubeni]

Epic Breakdown. May I suggest that you do the next ON THE ONE episode going through Olympia from the Power Station Album?

[@DominikMerscheid]

We're blessed that these videos aren't behind a $250 paywall

More cafe breakdowns plz

Cory te amo con todo mi corazon wachoooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Muchaaaaachoooooooosssss ahora nos volvimo' a ilusionaaaarrrrrr, quiero escuchar al Cory!!!!!!!

Esoooo wacho, aguante Argentina, Cory y los guisos de mi vieja!!!

[@Nicoleo31]

No veo la hora de que venga para Argentina, la va a pasar bomba!

[@ucielsola]

Cuando venga el Cory le hacemo una milanesa, se queda pasiempre

[@crisapps6491]

Ojala algúna vez venga a chile 😭😭

[@bfehderau63]

Oooh that Jomez mug sneakin in the shot. A man of fine taste

[@echosierra1790]

Can we see a Jack/Cory episode breaking down some classic Vulf tracks? Conscious club would be doooope :)

[@veryclearenglishspeaker4557]

YOU GOTTA BE YOU!!!!!!!!! BREAK DOWN YOU GOTTA BE YOU

[@RollDiceTakeNames]

The editing on these makes them so 'fun'

[@djstonecipher]

Cory wearing the Ram shirt makes me so happy. Ram is a gift to this world.

[@ConSMills]

A Road Trip on the one would be lit

[@PalEllingsen]

That stereo bus of the drums with no plugins sounds sick. So tight, dry and full. Love it.

[@paulwhetstone0473]

Cory Wong in baroque mode is funny af.

[@mikesolomon5584]

Man, I love your stuff. I love the volf, too. I had SO much fun at your ATL show. But, man... deal with your mic. Lockerroom moment here: You're talking about beautiful headphone sound while talking through a distorted/overdriven mic. Bad combination. Fix the mic situation. Anyway... carry on and keep making awesomeness, and thankyou for yet another wonderful video.

[@TKiBoule]

Always a treat to see the process Cory , I love these ! Could you do one with a Fearless flyers tune ? It looks so minimalist from the outside but I'm sure it isn't

[@nahrky]

I am living for these goofy edits. So much joy!

[@JTheProducer]

Hi Mr. Wong, what kind of desk is that you have your typing keyboard on with the screen? Thanks

[@V.Cole111]

I would love for Cory to be the one mixing Vulf records. I love Schvitz but I found that we can't clearly hear each parts. Specially on keyboard. But I can ear everything really clear when Cory is mixing stuff.

[@Joe-bs9dj]

Cory; I think smokeshow or out in the sun would be great for "on the one". I would love to see some off trailsongs too - Western winds is amazing.

[@andylead]

7:25 Hahahahah maybe you were on the Princeton and Jack was going DI? 16:30 Some people call it "The Alex Lifeson's chord" Loving this On the one videos! Learning SOOO much 🤓 Thanks for sharing!

[@kenwoodward6975]

Interesting comment about mixing on bright headphones to produce a less bright final mix. I listen on Monitor Audio bookshelves with ribbon hf and your live KZbin content sounds dull (exaggeration) here. 6khz 👆please 😅 I can hear that you love the midrange, guitars and brass, great overall sounds and balance though 😉👌 keep up the great work! 👏

[@DEDEdoidim]

I loved your t-shirt RAM is my favorite Macca's ALBUM is it yours too? Cheers from Brazil and RAM ON

[@jakehendriksen2841]

15:43 I'd wondered if this section was an homage to DMB. You guys played Tripping Billies in SLC last November, so I figured it was intentional. It's a fun homage!

[@Majegs]

“It’s fun!” is also how I describe most music coming out of the Vulf people

[@Majegs]

[@aydenmcfly1362]

A wongnotes episode with Tim Henson and/or Scottie lepage would be dope or Kevin G and Petar and you guys can talk about college and crazy road stories!!!!!

[@seanhillier2971]

A couple other things: 1. FUN! 2. We need an On The One for "Lilypad" from Paisley Park Session 3. Thank you for what you do

[@abnzg]

I love the imperfection that you can really only hear when listening to the solo'd tracks. The time is a bit rough here and there. There are some flubs. But then when you hear the whole mix, it's just fat and human and fun.

[@BeauStephenson]

Cory you better watch it I'm seriously coming at you literally right now.

[@Nannada1212]

It's Christmas! Feels like how Die Hard or Batman Returns is a Christmas movie😂😂😂 "but we used the bell, it's Christmas"

[@nickgrimberg7165]

On the One tiki hut strut. Preschoolers uniform: Cory’s striped shirt, joe’s sun glasses, jack’s 1970’s basketball tube socks.

[@waynemiller6070]

I like distortion as well as the next guitar player. But on bass and kick drum it just sounds like bad engineering. Cory Wong reminder… DNE. 😉

[@PlaidRadish]

You missed the celebration opportunity on the last "fun" at 27:20! So disappointed😢... JK 😂

[@bottejellema]

Awesome video! Thank you so much. Also, I'm curious which documentary you saw about orchestra hits :)

[@danielstewart839]

editor missed the confetti on the last "fun". major miss or huge troll??? the world may never know...

[@selliantuttimusi6735]

Bro I'm really jealous of your workaholism. Do you ever not work? It's just insane the amount of sh*t you manage to accomplish.

[@hamsandwichson]

I love how I've seen you in nothing but Double Wonderful clothing recently! 😍✌️♥️🎈🎈

[@jakehendriksen2841]

23:05 Somehow, I have been unaware of the Wong Notes podcast until this moment. Oh, I see I'm in for some fun in the coming days!

[@stephencarlson7297]

Oh how I have missed on the one

[@brendonmueller]

one of my favorite breakdown vids. edits were great

[@MartinLear_CChem_MRSC]

What fun 🤩 ✊🏼And, one timpano sounds great too, especially in Italian 🤓

[@mrb145]

On the One is one of my favorite things you put out. Heck yeah! Fun!

[@liorsilverstein9802]

not blown out audio he just wanted people not to use the audio for a remix, but people doing remixes of such musica can redo all the parts, not very difficult actually.

[@IAmWorseThanYou]

Not gonna drop the orchestra hits documentary? Would love an on the one for something from Turbo - Thriller or Hardtop?

[@krissachsenmeier8653]

Dude....my son and I both thought we heard an homage to "Big Time" by Omar...😂

[@schalomforever]

I never really noticed the bell sound but now it's so obvious ^^'

[@pontusstromberg7499]

I would love an episode of One the one on either Concrete, Here to stay or Olympia!

[@Jgibbs093]

Would love to see Golden or Cosmic Sans writing/production breakdown

[@narutvatanopas2169]

Hi cory, could you recommend on your working space, i saw no table and just a key board tray? Thanks man.

[@oliverwolffe754]

That was a riot. If you haven’t done it already please do St Paul. If you have - someone link me up!

[@Makki_SDN]

i had to check my discord for messages TWICE!, not cool Cory...not cool

[@lanvyyoung]

Would love a breakdown of Meditation! Definitely one of my favorites :)

[@emorycarroll]

Can we get an on the one for News to Me? Nate Smith is the GOAT!

[@jakehendriksen2841]

16:01 oh, man, I chose a wrong moment to take a drink. Narrowly avoided disaster. :D

[@jamesoconnor9027]

How about for a retired aspiring musician who respects the hell out of you (?).

[@TheBarackAttack]

Love these, I would be very grateful if you could break down some more off of Power Station, particularly Road Trip, Over the Mountain, and J.A.M. (Just a Minute). It's not exactly On the One territory but the two tracks you did with Béla deserve some sort of breakdown, talking a little about the process and maybe just talking excitedly about the composed parts vs the improvisation. Then just to throw a few more in there I'd love episodes on Disco De Lune and You Got to Be You. Thanks for all the videos, albums, & podcasts. They've been really inspiring me to put in some practice and learn a new instrument after a musical hiatus. Much love from the UK!

[@seanhillier2971]

Never, EVER, stop making SKOM references.

[@ohmykai207]

this was a fun breakdown. airplane mode is fun too. thanks for laying the fun-k on us.
