This must have been a nightmare for the sound engineer - bravo to that guy.

[@Astro-X]

Probably himself 😂

i would give anything to be that guy, to be honest. what a blast it must be, mixing 30+ tracks of instant-live-Jacob-Collier-goodness!

[@HermelJaworski]

Actually, all the tracks are probably pre-recorded, and the sound engineer just needs to know which track is played live and which ones require play back. But I agree, it must be a hassle to set down all the gear, instruments, cables and mics, get the levels right, with Jacob constantly switching instruments and moving around.

@@HermelJaworski not everything is pre-recorded. everything you see him doing live, is truly live. everything else - harmonies, percussion loops, sweeps and FX, and ofcourse the midi-piano is pre-recorded. the main vocals and everything else he is playing on camera is in realtime. but regardless, i'd die to even get my hands on those pre-recorded tracks ;)

[@HermelJaworski]

@ Yes, what Jacob plays live is not pre-recorded. But he said in a video that he chooses to play specific parts and that can change from concert to concert - that's why he always has the possibility to use a pre-recorded track instead of playing live
