Lol why do I do this to myself

[@antsteep]

It is now impossible for me to tweak the parameters on this instrument without out Dan's narration in my head. It is soothing to have that voice narrate the creative process.

[@brendanwalsh108]

"I have no idea what I just did!" How the best music is created. Thanks again, Dan.

[@WinItReigns]

Dan, this is beautiful. I've gone over my Spitfire budget, especially with the Black Friday sale. But man if I would have known or been able to have gotten this I definitely would have. Too bad I can't do a return and exchange. This library Is better than some I put 2

Amazing library Dan! I am currently writing a piece in memory of my Father with this beautiful library, and as I try to find inspiration, your videos on composition really inspire me very much! Thank you

[@citizenworld8094]

Go on Dan Keen. Great fella altogether and the future's all yours.

[@NealSanche]

I had my morning coffee with your composition, and it sounded so amazing that I bought your library. Thanks for all you have been doing. I really appreciate your libraries!

[@elaute1]

always love seeing you create on the fly, DK. never hesitate that we aren't extremely welcoming of this type of content....keep it coming...we are selfish and want more!!! 🙂

[@pianomanjc3]

Lovely piece. As others have said, the whole process feels very soothing. (Great bit of name dropping at the beginning also!!)😃

[@charlieflint622]

Another fantastic session - so helpful to see your writing process, Dan, with this beautiful library. Thanks for sharing, as always.

[@desoconnor7445]

I love this library, I’ve it had for a few days to play with and the first impressions are that it is sonically wonderful…and has the character of a Spitfire library (thats a good thing) . It is expressive . As you demonstrate here it is superb to sketch with and latter down the path to rely on in a composition , That’s a hell of an achievement Dan .🙏🙏🏿🎩👍✨🎵

[@brucerothwell7944]

Liking this library.... plan to get it soon! You have quite a future ahead of you, Dan!

[@Jeronimo365]

Love this library. 👍

[@wesboundmusic]

You're so imaginative and creative and the way you make this beautiful library shine almost has me emotional again, it's so delicate and beautiful! (along with the making-of, which I keep on rerun when I'm feeling down and need a mood-booster :-) ) Thanks for letting us see this, hope you're night out in front of the orchestra was a raging success!

[@garyholland6302]

Brilliant stuff Dan and fab library. Glad to see I'm not the only one moving notes around after a take ;-)

[@bongakhumalo6141]

congrats on the royal variety show. thats a relly big deal

I just bought it and started using it in a new cue. Loving it...

Beautiful as always, thank you ! 4:07 made me smile :)))))

[@gilesmoss5860]

Nice demo, thanks Dan. I like listening to you talk through your thoughts as you're going.

[@ClicStudio]

I kinda love the piece all of it, I need a full version

[@bonuebonue]

Dear Dan, congratulation for your wonderful Library! Is always a pleasure to hear and see your videos and the process that brings you to create such wonderful music! Incredible. I would love to have some advice from you about harmony (maybe in a future video): how to be emotional and not sound banal (I know very good classical tonal harmony but I find very difficult to "forget the rules" and just produce emotional and interesting chord progressions as I always hear and enjoy in your compositions.) Thank you and all the best! Christian

[@corbyvinson1175]

Love what you are doing! I bought your library and it's been lovely to work with!

[@ClicStudio]

Made me think of Omori/Alter from OMORI, I love this, will definitely get it

[@MBLonYT]

I saw your promo (by chance) this morning. Bought it, downloaded it .... and used it this afternoon on a new piece. Lovely job Dan. Also tried to buy the fader controller but currently sold out!

[@detxz3275]

Excuse me for asking, how much did you pay for this bookstore on Black Friday?

[@stantchev1]

Congrats, beautiful, i bought them.

[@NickWendelsGuitarLessons]

I like it a lot! 🎉🎉🎉

Спасибо! Ты меня реально вдохновляешь!

Excellent library Dan - would you consider doing a video on how you eq and process your stacks and master bus?

I've said this before but this library is freaking gorgeous and your composition just showcases what an amazing job you've done! Really great stuff Dan. So inspiring!

[@dafingaz]

Nice!

[@theturtleproject]

nice one man

[@rogierverrijt3014]

Hi Dan! You made great libraries! Keep going on:-) I bought them all via Spitfire Audio, also Fractured Strings:-) Can I ask you a question? Which brand and type controller do you use under your keyboard for the left hand to control the dynamic and exp? And is it a good one?

[@entertainer9076]

you are inspiring for me

[@rubenmolino1480]

excellent... I'm sure that a symphony... could be done in 2 days, Maestro

[@DanKeenMusic]

I need to do a 2 day orchestral challenge. That would be really fun for me. Spend the whole weekend on a track

[@kobecanniere4691]

Yes please!!!

[@antsteep]

I would be interested in the stems from these timed writing sessions being available for some of us to remix and add to and add the results to for possible airing on the channel. Does anyone else find that idea appealing?

[@jjg2505]

Very nice! Quick question: Did you write this piece in any particular key? My musical knowledge doesn't really extend beyond pop music genres where I've always just stuck to standard Major/Minor keys when writing music. Or did you just do what sounded good regardless of the key? And if so, is this common practice with this type of music to do that or to be changing keys very frequently throughout the track? Thanks for the video!

[@habanahna7267]

Take a look at the Tonnetz it's gonna help you :)

[@DanKeenMusic]

I've done a few of these "live scoring" videos now and they seem to have a sound and style of their own. I find the magic often comes from experimenting with chromatic parts that move somewhat ambiguously and then figure out a way to contextualise them with harmony you like. Very trial and error - that's what I like about these challenges. I try to make it come back to the same chord or feel by the end as I had at the start, but other than that it's pretty spontaneous!

[@jesusdiedfordubstep]

hey! what's the name of your fader controller? Really love and enjoying your work. Thanks ❤️

[@DanKeenMusic]

Thanks! It's the VS Faderbox. A review on my channel has led to this product being massively backordered, but it's worth the wait!

[@sammyguellfilmmusic]

Hi Dan ! What tools are you using on your master ? Your kind of “go to” when you don’t really have time … like you did today. Cool job for 20min by the way, I’ll try that exercice with your SST and see what happen …

[@davidvalens3337]

what is note order?

[@davidvalens3337]

can i still get softstring textures for the intro price?

[@DanKeenMusic]

Yes! Even cheaper at the moment

[@davidvalens3337]

@@DanKeenMusic i got the strings but when i load them into kontakt i get a blue graphics that are incomplete and it says demo. any idea what i am doing wrong?

[@dustintheblacklight]

Very nice! The arpeggiator broke the atmosphere little bit..

[@Jeronimo365]

Help me out someone, there’s a function in Logic that allows you to press ‘play’ in the middle of a long held note and actually hear it without having to go back to the start of that note. It might have something to do with the word ‘pace’ 🤷🏻‍♂️ not sure. Any thoughts? 🎉🙏
