Only the genius of Michael can compose a song that includes a striking, aggressive, and groovy tone along with a soothing slow paced section that evokes solace.
You forgot Quincy Jones.Michael & Quincy's collaboration was behind all these epics. Its unfortunate that Moonwalker was the last collaboration between them.
I was thinking the same while listening to the strings section…when you listen to the song you can’t isolate the strings but with this video I realized how big they are…it sounds like the work of a famous composer played by the strings of an orchestra on a funky base…this is just genius…
Michael brought a higher level to rhythm and arrangements. I call his best work dance masterpieces. They make you wanna move. But you can just as easily just marvel at the production and arrangements.
That's because they didn't used much FM cheap sounds. They sampled real instruments into the Synclavier or they (John Barnes, Matt Forger and Chris Currell) made their own sounds during those sessions.

@@lackmander Me too 🤣 That's crazy.
My favorite song ever and forever.
Still can’t believe he didn’t win not one award for this album
Best Engineered Album and Best Long Video though…
I know the truth 🤬
Grammys 1990, "Leave Me Alone" recieved a Grammy for best video.
Yes😢😢
Bro was robbed of Album of the Year how do you tell me an album that produced 5 number 1’s which was never done before.

@@pritamsahakeerthi There's a lot more of John Barnes in this arrangement than Quincy, plus the other musicians and sound designers.
@@crnkmnky Actually you are right, it does sound like that!
@@pritamsahakeerthi Didn't Michael wrote this song? I think he composed the grooves alone. I wanna hear his demo. Quincy does the high production.
5:14 is so magical
best version is from 7:21 to 8:56 when it goes from DX piano to strings

The strings are so beautiful
5:14 why does it give me a feeling of something coming from the heavens, something magical, if it creates several scenes in my mind
At this moment I see Michael crying that Annie isn't okay
The strings....oh my goodness.feel like I'm on a cloud ☁️
04:57. i didn't know i needed to hear this. it's beautiful.
7:21 to 8:56 I feel like im on floating and there is bright soothing shining yellow light falling on my face....so soothing
This is my Favorite Michael Jackson Song! Love the Guitar and String Riffs!
the strings are really the foundation of the song I love them
@@misstxterth0t I do too! Especially the Guitar Sounds!
@@christucker4086 oi Christmas ⛄
This music composition is out of this world 🤯
Those bassline multitracks are the best in my opinion. The song wouldn't feel the same without them tbh...
There’s so much in this song that none of us can really hear in the whole track. Those jungle bongo “extra” sounds are great! 😄
4:25 That guitar is smth special
Oh it is
David Williams was a beast on that guitar. RIP.❤
WOW 😳, every single note is epic ✋🌎 king of music dance style and performances ever 🙌
Man those strings!!!!
They're magical. 😍🤩🥰🤯😄💙🤍
Who you telling the strings bodied this song it makes you feel so emotional puts you in another space
michael jackson was a genius!!!!
The strings and that electric piano sound is massive!
5:14 MY GOD!!!
Don't know how you managed to separate out all the tracks but they sound absolutely amazingly , even, no especially on their own|! Thanks :)
Multitracks
This is just wow man...I didn't know there were so many sounds in this song...great job
Yesss !! Good job man . Thank you ✌🏽
@SilverGold97 This is actually the Best Version of Smooth Criminal that you Uploaded! ❤️
1:52 5:14 6:03 6:30 7:08 7:29 7:45
Those are keyboards
9:47 is the money
i wonder what sound preset it is
@@kaizyllesounds like a heavily modified Yamaha DX7 Marimba sound
The strings are my favorite.
Don't stop till get enough 🤝🏼🤙🏼
No wonder I tattooed Smooth Criminal on my arm! 🎻🎻🎻
i need these multitracks. the drums are turning me on
@Michael Jackson Rare Clips and Moments sure
@MJRCAM how? please
@@walidfakhfakh3660they are leaked for along time
my favorite part in this song is the strings, i really really like it when i miss michael so much❤❤❤❤ 4:57
Thank you !!!!for this i been trying so hard to find the string solo by itself i loove it!!!
The album version drums are amazing, I wonder how they made it sound like that?
Those are made by using Drum machine such as LinnDrum 9000 and with some modifications in the sound afterwards 😁
@@decadish04 Thank you! Is the snare drum also LinnDrum 9000?
@@trevgocrazy Yes!😇
@@decadish04 didn't they use the synclavier for the drums?
@@decadish04 didn't they use the synclavier for the drums?
Is it possible to download the entire full multitrack somewhere ?
10:30 the same sound of Another Part Of Me¿?
Yes
These are awesome!
Bass needs love too
3:23
10:30 + 10:47 = the best part of the song
It's really something to hear them separated like this.
this is so cool
string is so good
My favorite song ever and forever.
❤ 👑
The way you make me feel
My favourite is String Riffs
More multitrack
Crazy because is doesn't sounds cheap like most 80s synth songs
That's because they didn't used much FM cheap sounds. They sampled real instruments into the Synclavier or they (John Barnes, Matt Forger and Chris Currell) made their own sounds during those sessions.
They also used a lot of layering of sounds which could've sounded cheap by themselves. Plus Bruce Swedien never records cheap sounds. 😸
5:14 so fuking good
10:56 flowey you’ve been everywhere haven’t you
I would really like to mess around with the multi-track and make a new edit of this song. Is there anywhere I can find this?
How did you get the individual parts?
@MJRCAM from where?
And Quincy Johns didn’t want this in the album😂
Quincy Jones, the fool 😂
Quincy was not fond of the bass; does not mean he didn't want the song on the album.
It's there a link for the version at the end?...
THIS IS I N S A N E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:16 what synth playing on a background when the heartbeat? I want to find this
Hi, can I use the strings for my video? I'll credit you for sure!
What happened at 05:39? Is that in the original as well?
4:58 👌🏻
Please do the same with billie Jean song
1:51 11:00
Please do Bad I got to here it!!!
wow
Where did you get this original sounds please?!!!
what kind of bass is used in mj smooth criminal?
A cello
Synclavier
10:31 Sega MegaDrive / Genesis ?????
BPM??
3:47 are you sure this isnt a banjo?
It’s Guitar.
Oye puedes hacer un multitrack de la canción Bad por fa ❤
Yasss I have been trying to find this Tysm!!!
The strings without the other instruments sounds like a heroic 80s final battle or a hero's new journey on 4:58 and 5:14.
9:09 I find this specific pad pattern really satisfying.
10:47 wtf
Please is it scary
How?
How?
How?
