New Year New Sounds
First video of 2024. Excited to be making more music, creating more sample libraries, and meeting more creative people! In this video, I make a track using some folky sounds that I've been enjoying lately.

Composing the FIRST thing I play today

Recently I've struggled to commit to musical ideas. I get about 50 seconds in, and immediately want to throw it away. So today, I'm forcing myself to record the first thing I play, and turn it into a piece of music.

Making nostalgic music with Lost Synth
Переглядів 7 тис.11 місяців тому
In this video, I play with Westwood Instruments' new Lost Synth library. It's a deep dive with over 80 sounds, over 200 presets, an A-B mixer and loads of fx that I can't quite explain. The video is a breakdown of a piece of music, and shines a light on a broader question about how to make your music more nostalgic.

The BEST Bass Sound Formula
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
In this video, I show you how to make (what I think is) the best bass sound, using a combination of a Logic sine wave, a Kontakt Komplete bass guitar and Spectrasonics Keyscape piano bass. It's important to maintain a simple bass tone that cuts through a mix, using strong sub bass and gritty mid range - this will help your music translate on phone speakers / laptops etc. If you'd like to suppor...

Improvising CALM PIANO Music for 20 Minutes
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
It's been a while... Recently I've been struggling to commit to a topic to make a video about, and struggling to stick to a musical idea... So I had an idea: improvise for 20 minutes STRAIGHT, no cuts, no edits, just whatever comes to mind, and post the results. I may turn this into a series if it goes down well. For now, just sit back, relax and join me for a stream of consciousness. If you'd ...

Reverb HACKS That Make You Stand Out
I love poly digital synths with all the physical controls instead of menus. We only had a few in history to buy, I missed the JD800 and JP8000, but have the Gaia and Gaia2, and bought all the Boutiques: JX03 / JP08 / JD08 / JX08. I missed the first Juno Boutique, and now have the last chance with this one. Still deciding on this dual Juno...?...Should I buy it? Would it be a good addition to the other Boutiques? (my studio is computerless, all hardware including a 24 track hardware recorder)
Excellent
Awesome video! I am now getting into filmscore, although my first project is more like Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, a child's tale, with the final form unkown, but I'm very excited about it. I will revisit your channel often it seems. I do have a question: where can I find movies with no music but sound effects in?
did you use sustain pedal as well? cuz I see sometimes you release finger but note still playing
I'm just getting into music creation and I believe this will be the perfect strings plugin for my to be ambient track. You seem very professional so it was very weird to see you have only 27k subs. Thanks a lot for the plugin!
This is great Dan! Thank you for sharing so much comprehensive insight. Stuff like this is helping me crawl out of the 19th century 😂🙏
the downloadlink not work anymore..anybody can upload the sounds again maybe. ?
Very nice Job Dan ! Amazing quality and speed.
Thank you for this insight. So much to learn. Many useful techniques!
I love everything about this
Thanks for giving this away for free. I am using Logic Pro X and Decent Sampler. I just downloaded NFO: Orchestral Swells. I am struggling because I can only access 5 presets, none of which include the wind instruments. Am I missing something?
Really cool stuff 🙂
You are one OG hippie freek! Rock on brohiem!
What DAW is this?
Logic Pro
This is beautiful! I would really love to know how you make drum beats from basic to complex
Warps @ 19:50 fyi
u are amazing!
I wish these worked the daw faders… looking for straight up 16 faders to drop in a home made desk. I’ll have to go with the dope but expensive speck 16+m whatever its called
Is this only useable for MacOS ?
Will come back to watch and listen again soon. So far so good!! An interesting method of scoring a film by basically playing the parts into your DAW as opposed to the very old school pen and paper for instance. Lots of ways to get it done. Lots of things to think about at once. Could be a very stressful job. Nonetheless I like what you are doing how you are doing it and how it sounds. Bravo!
im really inspired by this
Hi friend, I wanted to know how is the workflow with the BCF 2000 regarding to changing from Midi CC to mixing. Do you press a button to change between the two modes or how does it work? Thanks
tu pues la merde comme compositeur et comme auteur
I don't know why this doesn't have more comments! For that Tame Impala vibe the new school of music is turning back to, your drum samples might be all that we need haha. Cheers, and thanks for sharing!
Hey what keyboard is he using? Sounds lovely 😍
Love this. Thanks for sharing. Random question for anyone who knows - my libraries are BIG and my PC struggles to run them without crashing Kontakt or my DAW. I have a very powerful custom built PC (latest intel processor, rtx 3080, 64g ram) and wondering what I'm missing. I've searched online and have not found an answer. How do you have SO many instruments lined up in Logic and it not crash?
It depends. Your specs ought to be good enough for your PC to handle your library. Check if your PC is running properly (you can download apps for this) and obviously any cracked software will always perform worse/crash. See if any change in your Logic settings have any impact. If it’s a PC issue you should sent it in for inspection, software issue - reach out to their support. t could be a multitude of reasons but those are my first thoughts
FREAKING beautiful.
I need something with actual an midi input (no usb), and individual midi channel per input. Faderfox devices might work, but they are not cheap... Any other suggestions? I also found Ann's Tweed controllers which are cheap and have din midi but no indiviual midi channel I think.
most of the sounds are pads,they have nothing to do with a guitar sound
amazing
Really cool to see some behind the scenes from creating a library!
Excellent video. I am new to Westwood (being a fan of the big players - Arturia and NI) - but these Lost instruments sound fantastic and on sale for half-price at the moment. Don't know whether to get this one, Lost Keys or the new guitar library! Choices eh?
A bit late to the party here. Thanks Dan for this insight. I recently purchased the Core version and love it! I've been exploring your libraries too and have to say you're doing a great job!
love this!
This is so cool instrument. Well done!! I have some ideas for collaboration too. I will send my thoughts through your website contact form.

This library sounds beautiful, but I have an issue that I don't know how to fix: I can only select soft string spurs, I can't switch to the other articulations (I just click on them, increase dynamics and suddenly it jumps to soft string spurs again). Maybe it is some bad configuration in my devices? Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Great work Dan. I really love the chasing bits of the music. So good 😃
I am assuming since you have 5 tracks of violin 1 (and same with other instruments), they were adjusted to sound different? If so, what did you do to make them different in the context of just 5 violin 1s?
Can't get a particularly 'dry' sound, even with reverb completely off.
Bruh what a review, I'm talking serious, your honesty really clarified my thoughs
If I learned one thing from this, it is that dynamics is emotion
4:28+ My two-penn'orth on scoring without key signatures: in 55 years of playing, I have *never* seen key-signatureless orchestral parts - including session parts - *except* for French Horns, which vary. One of the first thing an orchestral player learns is to read the key signature and remember it. That is *never* an issue. Horn players cope quite happily with whatever they get given. However, there are things that the score-preparer or orchestrator needs to know that will make the player's life infinitely easier: *Always* make key signature changes clear and obvious: a good way is to use double barlines at that point, as a double bar line attracts the player's attention.. If your key signature change falls at the beginning of a line, *always* completely cancel the existing key signature at the end of the previous line. Some experts say that you should always cancel the previous key signature wherever the change occurs. Other experts say you don't need to cancel most changes, but you do need to cancel others - which is confusing tor the orchestrator. My suggestion - which is the one that I come across 99% of the time - is simple and consistent. If you have an out-of-key accidental in a bar & the next occurrence of the note is in the next bar but with no accidental, *always* indicate what the note that you want actually is in that next bar. In my experience, amateur players will never notice that the next note is not the same as the previous note. For example, the key signature is C major. In one bar you have F#, but in the next bar you want an F natural: *always* mark that 2nd note with a natural, otherwise a lot of players will play another F#... If you are using out-of-key accidentals, *please* make them relevant to the actual key signature. Some scoring programs default to sharps, when flats are needed.... These are the principles I use in my own scores, and I have never had a complaint next. About the notes - yes. About how they are displayed - no.
Bit too close mate 💀
I’m running fairly large sessions (almost every session is around 100+ tracks). In my current MacBook I have to try so many times to get the session played properly. (Even after freezing some tracks) so I would really like someone’s opinion on this.
It’s possible there are just a couple of instruments that are tripping your system up. I find it often comes down to poor sample engineering on the backend. Maybe developers are getting lazy because systems have the headroom to handle less efficient engines now
@@DanKeenMusic The one I’m looking to buy is M1 max with 32gb ram. So if I were to go with 14” M1 max, will have fan noice and heating issues? since I intend to have an external monitor connected and keep the MacBook closed if I go with 14”.
however i reckon the bfc2000 comes with some software which can change the cc values on the bfc itself
no one explained tihs. I was looking for this, and found so many vague explanations. LEgend you are.
18:54 mans though someone was knocking lmao
This video is so good. You’re so good at explaining things. Very clear and straight to the point! Thank you!
