Join me on this video as I break down the secrets of the official session for Ocean Eyes produced by the talented, Grammy Award-Winning Finneas.
I am very excited to have the official studio session and I learned a lot about music production by just going through the file which you can also get by downloading Logic Pro X 10.5 as a project template. I hope you all enjoy and hopefully learn something new as well!

how do you meen mess in background of room it is lierary clean how i see
😂 I guess the camera wasn’t aimed at the mess 😂
Would you be able to share the logic project?
@@bwebb90 According to this, it comes with logic pro x, so you can probably find it in there. www.reddit.com/r/Logic_Studio/comments/gic2r2/logic_pro_x_105_features_the_multitrack_project/
how did you get the file?
This feels like reading someone else’s diary. It’s like a secret I wasn’t supposed to see. 😅 Their work is so inspiring!
Lol ye I feel the same!
Omg litrually feels like that!
no its free to see
lol exactly what I was thinking, but this video is awesome!
The nice about music is. It’s unique to it’s maker. You can look at my process etc but you can never sound like me.
And she was 13..13!
Right!!? I remember when I was 13 I was wasting my life while Billie Eilish was making timeless hits!
Her bro is humble. People always forget he was part of the genius process
@@LostinaMemory I’m 16 and still wasting my life
@@itsproof2 I'm 26 and still wasting life
when i was 13 i had my first love, she make me hbhsgdghsghbhghgh
ohh she had me going crazy, but i was starstruck
This is beyond useful for music writers starting up, thank you so much for this!!
You’re welcome! I’m gonna be doing a Part 2 to this video this week and more tutorials if you’d like to stick around!:)
Lost in a Memory that would be so helpful thanks!
@@giveitamonth5720 producers more than writers
Definitely useful for writers and producers alike!
@@madsunmusic7810 do you know what app they used?
billies voice is just wow.
She sounds beautiful
🎧Yes she is amazing. I love her voice. She inspired me to make this beat!!czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
When you realize how much work is in ONE song
Ikrrr... It's still blowing my mind
🎧 Crazy how talented she it!! I love her voice. She inspired me to make this beat!!czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
It's a lot of work but surprisingly it's not a huge session as compared to the way other producers work myself included!
Right
Surprisingly, this is much less stuff than goes on in other songs
this video is actually so fun to watch! you are also super super professional!!
🎧This is so dope. I love her voice. It inspired me to make this beat!!!czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
Glad you liked it!!
Whatcha doing here kinryyy😂
@@LostinaMemory thank you, cant stop listening and watching... can you tell us what is the name of the software that finneas used to produce the songs? ty
wait- kinry idjdkdn
Thank you for doing this
hi shannon! :)
You’re very welcome random citizen!
I feel like every artist need to release videos like this so we can get a higher appreciation of the production process
🎧 I feel the same way. We need more of this!! This inspired me to make this beat. I used her sample.!! czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
18:37 aaaaa how cute 🥺⭐
The fact that he learnt how to use all of this on his own is mind-blowing. Do we even realise how crazy that is? They will have an amazing career, no doubts.
It’s really not that hard to use Logic Pro X it just takes some time and dedication. The song-writing however, that’s where this guy’s a creative genius!
🎧It’s crazy how talented they are. I love her voice. She inspired me to make this beat!!czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
@@LostinaMemory 100%
Most people learn to use software like this on youtube, as the guy above the said the prowess is in songwriting and creativity!
Their parents are also involved in the entertainment world, I think their mom is a singer and has made some records before so I'm sure they had some guidance from her at a young age. I'm sure they're proud to see them take it and run this far.
19:51 dont mind me im just in love with how cute she sounded 💀💀
She was 13 at the time
@@yngvehannevig3471 i know lmao dw im 14, just in case yall think im a grown person or sumn cause thats creepy 💀💀
C8 no she was 14 bout to turn 15
@@shadowclonejutsu8500 she was actually 13 and dropped the mv when she was 14 turning 15 in 2016 she has said multiple times that she was 13 when recording the song
Simp.
Wasn't Finneas like 17 or 18 when he produced this track? And I think they did it quite fast for Billie's dance project or something. Anyway, cool that it doesn't have to be all polished to become a hit.
No, I think the Soundcloud version was the demo but when they released it officially, they finally polished it.
Finneas said they spent a week just on recording vocal tracks that would normally take a day, so I am assuming the official release was not rushed.
he was 19 and this was actually a song that Finneas wrote for his band and himself but then he thought Billie would sound better in it. So they recorded for her voice and obviously used it for her dance class, but just for fun uploaded it onto SoundCloud. They didn't think though that all this would've happened.
@@rhymejpeg the one that they upload to soundcloud was the final version they just re-released it later as Billie's first single under a label but they didn't alter the track
He was 18 and billie was 13. It took them about a week to get all the vocals because billie was very specific in how she wanted to sound
This was such an amazing eye opener, I have been crying myself to sleep for years because I thought my 20-30 track DAW projects would never, ever, EVER be worthy of releasing. I used to hear tales of artists fitting in hundreds of tracks and that was what was necessary to make hit music, that plus all kinds of expensive hardware. This breakdown shattered all my beliefs and gave me hope that maybe one day, I too can strike gold, as long as I just keep at it! MUCH THANKS, keep doing what you do because it's great!!
I used to think the exact same thing. The first few songs I put out had a TON of tracks but the more music I make I realized more does not equal better! Sometimes less is more!;)
I can relate to this. In the beginning I was making 10-15 tracks - wich sounded bad. As I progressed through couple of years, i found myself having 60-120 tracks. Was starting to sound decent. Then I started to choose sounds wisely, and stacking things. solid recordings (do it right at the source, don't fix it in the mix sorta thing..) went back to the 10-15 track songs i made and "enhanced" my sounds. NIGHT and DAY! Thing is, my melodies were actually somewhat catchy, just needed the right sounds ;)
It really depends on how arranged and composed is the song you're working on. Sometimes, it's like a call the song make : it needs more details, more things that people will hear but not listen, and you add more tracks, sometimes 200 of it. And sometimes, like this song, you just need a few and the feeling is complete. The important thing it's to be sincere, and to trust yourself 👌😊
My hip hop/trap beats usually cap off around 11 to 17 tracks. And my more house stuff is about 25 to 40 tracks. I started out a few months ago but I still think those songs hold up. As lomg as you capture a vibe in your music, it has the potential to be really good, even if it only has like 5 tracks :)
you will! i’m happy you were lead to this video, YOURE GONNA BE HUGE!!
This opened my mind so much to production wow
I’m happy it did! I got more videos like these on the way!
11:40 haha I am a producer myself. I use this technique a lot. He added the low voice there to distract from the harsh cut they made on the vocals (when billie sang mind slightly out of tune) so the deep voice hides it. Basically, you add stuff to cover the imperfections that's how it is when you don't have a professional studio. So it is not random, just smart :)
i wish you produce some of my staff)
This is why I read the comments, thankyou
@@madsunmusic7810 np :)
I was looking for this :)
I do that as well. I usually double my vocals and it helps make it sound better, fuller and yes it does hide imperfections as well!
Let's not forget that Finneas was only 17 when he produced this.
There are a bunch of more outtakes in the vocal takes. In one of them she yells „stop hating on me“ at Finneas. Quite funny :D
That’s hilarious 😂
@@nomadine85 bout as hilarious as wet shit
it's all about the layers! combine them, till it's perfect!
@@TristanHands 😂😂😂
Which part?pls tell me!
Finneas: 36 tracks
Jacob Collier: You gotta pump those numbers. Those are rookie numbers.
😂
I looked for this comment as soon as I clicked on the video. 😂
🎧This is so dope. I love her voice. She inspired me to make this beat!! czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
Crazy you Said That I just Came Here From one Of his Bedroom Videos lol Like Literally This video was Under That video while I was Watching him lol
damn my macbooks gonna be dead
no ones probably ever gonna see this but, for any song, if you're curious to hear some backing vocals the easiest thing to do is listen to the song with an auxiliary cord. Get the cord where the audio jack is and very slightly pull the wire out but not where its out of the hole completely. If you get it right you'll be able to hear the background music and some vocals. I'm pretty sure people have done this already but I recently found out about it. but yeah i thought it was cool. anyways thanks for taking the time to read this if you ever do🥰
I see you! I used to do that all the time on old phones that had aux connections, I thought I was the only one!!!
I thought I was the only one ahaha
All you’re doing is playing the L and R at the same time, anything that is toward the centre of the mix is being removed by phase cancellation. You can do the same thing in logic, import two instances of the same piece of audio on separate tracks and invert the polarity of one and you will hear a cancellation.
I used to do karaoke on that as a kid sometimes
I used to do that listening to Pure Heroine by Lorde back in 2013
This is soo inspiring. Really makes me feel like I could record something myself.
You CAN record something! I’m making more of these videos on how to produce if you wanna stick around and learn a thing or two!
2:57 is the most beautiful sound ever
Right!? #VoiceGoals! 😉
Please please do more like this. People like me who are trying to learn this stuff from scratch don't know what we dont know and hence dont even know what to search for when you break down songs like this it really helps understand what's really going on. Thanks so much
I definitely will! It’s nearly impossible to get famous songs’ project files like this one, but I can definitely do videos like these using my own music!
you have no idea how much help you did to all the beginner musician out there. i cant actually find any word to thank you bro. absolute great job!!
I'm so happy I have access to this project file!!!! There's so much amazing production information hidden inside of it!!
These breakdowns are honestly more helpful than most youtuber tutorials
I’d like to think so too! There’s plenty more on my channel, check those out!
What an amazing pair of artists. I’m so thankful they shared so much of their process, in the form of tracks and in the recent documentary. And of course thank you for the guided tour! Can’t wait to see what they create in the coming years.
I can't get enough of these kinds of videos. I just love the production process of artists - I find it truly fascinating and inspiring. It makes them seem more human to me - like, we're all kinda using the same gear, trying to make art. We all have out own process but with very different outcomes. Music is life!
this break down made me like the song even more
Me too honestly
omg this video is pure gold! Thank you so much for existing 🥺❤️
Thank you for your super nice comment! I just uploaded a part 2 to this video in case you’re interested!
you explain everything SO well, i appreciate how you break everything down so simply and define all the terminology you use, it's extremely useful for us regardless of what level we're at. so good!!
Not bad for my first breakdown huh?
Thank you! I plan on making more of these so stay tuned!
I hadn't heard of Billie before and one day I stumbled upon their official video of "Ocean Eyes." I was blown away by how beautiful the song is! It's really excellent and thanks for breaking it down like this. You point out many very helpful insights to things that were left in that I know I would have cut out. I'm glad to see you reacted the same way. But he was young and I'm sure he's learned a lot since then. Despite that, all of that striving to get it right clearly paid off for them! Great video... thank you. :-)
Dude this was the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. One of my fav songs and you explained everything so well as well as the theory. You’re awesome!
Glad you like it! There’s plenty more breakdowns on my channel if you wanna check those out!
I had no idea of the many meticulous details of producing songs I have a whole new appreciation for finneas
I loved how you explained EQ and compression, rlly clear straightforward easy to understand!
This is one of the most helpful Logic videos I've ever watched! So much gold. Thankyou!
You’re welcome! I’ll be making more of these in the next few weeks!
It’ll be cool if you could play all the take 1’s at the same time so we could hear how it would’ve sounded
That is a phenomenal idea! I’m going to make another video addressing the comments including yours, I’m also curious on what take 1 would sound! Subscribe so you don’t miss it!
🎧This is so dope. I love her voice. She inspired me to make this beat!!czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
Korean CZcamsrs really need to learn from this video. This video is simply a one-take recording and cutting out some errors, no sound effects, no BGM, no flashy video transition effects, no subtitles, no intro jingle and computer graphics. This video is just pure and goes straight to the point which is a bunch of secret information. Viewers willingly pay their time to receive that precious information and we are happy.
Sometimes flashy stuff isn’t needed:)
What a video, man! Bring more Billie Eilish songs heree, i'd loveee to see that!
Great content!
Bruh. I’m a visually learner trying to get into music production, and watching you just break down this awesome song is awesome. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! There’s more breakdowns in my channels and I’m going to film a new one tonight so you can learn a thing or two!
🎧 Yes this is dope. I love her voice. I used her sample to make this beat!!czcams.com/video/RwkvCh_rzhk/video.html
I could literally cry watching and listening to this! thank you
Of course I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Her vocals give me chills! The genius of those two combined will go down in music history no doubt
Thanks for doing this breakdown! Love this song and seeing the session. You know what you're talking about and broke it down wonderfully. It also goes to show, that while the nice expensive gear and plugins are great and allow for awesome creativity...you don't need it to create good music. You just need a vision and a passion.
You have a good understanding on production. You helped me out hugely- putting words and understanding to processes. Thank you!! 🙏 🙌
Some things that jump out.
1. Billie is an excellent song writer and arranger. A huge part of the succes of the music is her, the production is def secondary, designed to stay out of the way
2. Her soft, stripped down style allows them to get away with really usable recordings in an untreated room. The louder the artist tends to sing or perform, the more room sound you get.
3. The production sounds pretty different from the final mix on the radio. I def feel like the mixing engineer layered the drums in particular, and did some work on the pads and stuff to make em more exciting which we don't hear in this session
4. There's no autotune on the session and she likely doesn't need much, HOWEVER the mixing engineer would be using melodyne to really tighten up any performance issues.
5. I also wouldn't put too much stock in any of the processing here for the same reason. The mix engineer would change a lot of this.
6. Using multiple compressors is a pretty common technique. It's prob made most famous by Michael Brower. I prob use 4-5 compressors on my vocals.
7. That said there's a lot of great stuff to learn here and very interesting to see it all stripped down. It's pretty expected ultimately but for a beginner it's great stuff
idk it sounds the same as what's on her spotify, the radio fucks with artist's music all the time. I know she refuses to use any tuning.
I've certainly been able to take away a ton from this video. Can't wait to implement some of these models in my music. It's super dope you were able to get this haha. Much love for sharing this with us.
I love love love these deconstructions!
shes honestly amazing!!
Can you breakdown Bad Guy because there are a lot of interesting things in there and bury a friend to
Im pretty sure he would have done it. But he was only able to see this file because he had Logic Pro X and Apple had her track future on that program so others with the paid application could see that song project. So that is actually the only one that we could currently see. And BTW Apple has to ask her for that project before posting it of-course. (:
@@JosephRandomGameing oh really i didn't know thanks!
@@JosephRandomGameing What's "track future"?
@@SeanHyland she made a recent song called my future if u haven't heard it yet
@@staryelsha czcams.com/video/VSPuRXkUWoU/video.html
Seriously, Bad Guy is a primitive track, it don't need to be breakdowned.
Listening to this as a person who wants to make their own music start to finish makes my mind blown yet my dreams slightly shattered hahaha. And this is scratching the surface
Best 28mins! So much have learned! Thanks!
love to see this man, thx for the show !
I'm just over here admiring how the vocals were recorded, damn billie is creative
Her song ocean eyes is what got me back into music creation in college
god I love this. I wish every artist had something like this.
Excellent description of the workflow and various techniques used. Some real subtle processing that goes into the final mix but makes a world of difference. Great video.
You really analysed this track... Great job... Billie was 13 here damn and Finneas is a literal god... They're amazing and this song is just wow
They’re great songwriters, their approach is “less is more” and it’s very effective!
Artists should release their files like this really shows how much work goes into making a track.
I wish they would! I'm going to start releasing my own studio templates and projects too!
It feels amazing when you break down someone's music project.
I LITERALLY LOVED THIS VIDEO! More breakdowns like this please!
Working on a new one this week, stay tuned!
Incredible breakdown man! My favorite is how you pointed out the bleeding through the headphones. I would love to learn more about the double compression. I thought this was some perfect production it was just a lot of takes and good processing by someone who knew how to use their tools. Subscribed!
Thank you very much! I use plenty of double compression on my own projects, I made a playlist with other breakdowns I’ve done recently if you wanna check those out in my channel!
Really cool breakdown brother!
this video basically answered all the questions i had about recording and mixing vocals. huge massive thanks for the upload man
I honestly love videos like this! And he's doing such a great job explaning! SUPER!!
Great video! Really enjoyed this. Just getting started in music production and dissecting tracks like this really helps to give different ideas, methods, and just better understand the process. Thank you!
You’re very welcome, glad it was helpful!
This was a great breakdown! I actually liked your stereo mix output better than the original :) Thanks for sharing & keep up the good work!
Wow! This was great to look at. God bless you for putting this out man!
Thank you! I’ll be putting out more Logic tutorials soon, stay tuned!
Love Billie and Finneas, thanks for doing this video it was very interesting! Really enjoyed watching this!
I found the song in Logic Pro, but never thought to look at it. Your analysis and breakdown is so perfect. I learned a lot. Thanks for doing the video.
Of course! There’s plenty more breakdowns in my channel, check them out!
So just so everyone knows, in logic pro you go to "file>new from template>demo projects" and you can "get your hands on" the actual studio session of ocean eyes. So you can experiment with the track yourselves. Good video though
You have to pay 😔
@@millie7304 That's weird, I most certainly never paid for anything else than the app itself (years ago), and I can access it. I can't exclude that they recently changed it though. Can you access the demo projects folder?
Can you access this through GarageBand MacBook Pro 2019? Or just Logic Pro?
@@sophiedarnell467 Unfortunately not I'm afraid, since 90% of the features used aren't available in GB
Thank you for this, I had no idea in was right in LPX. I just want to take a look and it also answered a question the present couldn't answer in the video where he was saying he didn't know why so many Reverb Busses were added. After checking out the project, the busses were clearly labelled in the Mixer. Each Reverb is modeling different spaces i,e. Small Room, Small Hall, Large Hall etc....
Amazing breakdown please keep doing more. I love this kind of stuff giving us insight to the successful industry tricks.
Thank you! I have a whole playlist of a few breakdowns I’ve done in my channel and I just finished filming a new one!
Cool to see, thanks for sharing. This kind of thing is so valuable to those looking jnto music production
Finneas is a genius producer. Awesome job ! Of course Billie Eilish has an AMAZING voice
Hello.
Reason to bus most channels to more reverb busses is to set the space for the whole track. When you reverb individual tracks its more about the instrument flavour and/or position in the mix.
Good breakdown. Really like Finneas, so please do more of these if possible. Thank you :)
True that
Man, your amazing I can’t believe!! So unique content and your talented!!
You’ll definitely be famous
This is a great video, love how face paced and detailed it is.
Thank you so much for this I learned so much I am new to Logic!
I’m so happy to read that you learned a thing or two! I have a part 2 to this video if you wanna check it out and I’m going to start making Logic Pro X tutorials starting next week so be sure to subscribe!

Thank you! I’m doing more of these vids look out for those!
I love this video. I just finished it and I just want to watch it all again. Awesome stuff dude.
"please excuse the mess in the back" -- looks cleaner than a surgical suite
I’ma make that my catchphrase on each of these Logic breakdown videos 😂
I didn’t know the mess wasn’t on camera haha
“she doesn’t use auto tune. She re records until she gets it”
I hope Billy gets to read that , it’s awesome when an artist IDs the work that went into another artist’s work
this was one of the most useful audio and production videos ive seen , great breakdown.
There’s plenty more on my channel 😉
Beautiful song! Glad you did a breakdown of it!
The coolest thing about this is that everything is done with Logic vanilla plugins. Wow. Im literally blown away that this is possible.
The thing about the stock plugins is that they’re all extremely powerful, people just don’t think that because they come with logic.
it made me cry, i'm way too far of being that pro.
Omg same
ay man, keep your head up. We all start from somewhere man. Keep pushing and improving, I promise you, you will get nothing but satisfaction and improvement over time. Good luck man.
ay we do it for the love of the craft and improvement comes with time. Keep doin your thing man - we always need new creatives trying to make something beautiful
lmao me too
