I usually don’t watch videos like this, but as a new composer, I’ve always looked up to you because of your skills, portfolio, and attitude and I love to see a raw and genuine video like this. Thanks for all the contributions you’ve made to the community and I’m excited to see more. P.S. It’s probably the last thing you want to do, but if you ever made a course, you would make a killing!
I remember 1st seeing you live on Twitch and you were ranting about Spitfire etc. I was a Spitfire fanboy and a fellow Brit and was a bit annoyed at the time. However as I watched you more, my understanding grew, all you were doing was genuinely trying to make their products better for composers. But I also started to really enjoy your composing as you have a very melodic style and I love composers that use melody. Then there was the funny one liners and the banter. Been hooked since! Keep it up DJ, we miss your personality, knowledge and Compositions! I think being entertained and educated at the same time is the perfect combination for a live stream. You have both nailed!
Congratulations, Daniel. I'm following you for a several years now. I've learned alot from just watching your workflow (especially on livestreams) and you always inspired me to be a better composer. I miss your livestreams on Twitch. I hope you'll have time to do more of these soon.
Congrats! I've learned a ton watching your videos over the years and you've been a huge inspiration to me and many other aspiring composers. Glad to see you back on youtube!
Daniel, it is really great to hear from you again - you have been missed!!. Your enthusiasm in the creation of music and confirmation that it has evolved is great to hear - I for one can't wait for further updates and your return to streaming on a regular basis. 👍
It's great to see your energetic vibe! Thank you for sharing this video, it reminds me of a peaceful time when I watched your streams in my home studio in Ukraine and didn't think about "will this ruzzian missile fall on my house now?"
Welcome back, mate! When I saw your name as additional music writer for ST: Picard, I immediately understood what you were doing for the past 6 months. Well, some bits of that anyway 😁 The photograph with HGW was the cherry on the cake 😂
I totally agree with that music making thing where you spend ~20 minutes tweaking a small phrase and then playing it over and over again. I honestly thought it was just me. And wow congrats man! Looking forward to what you come up with next!
Welcome back and congratulations on the projects that you are working on. I'm a Metal Gear fan who played the game series since the beginning. So, I can kind of understand your excitement on that panel.
Great to see you and hear about your achievements. Ok, now back to my life. Thanks for those 15 min dreaming about what it could be to be living some of your dreams as a composer :-)
Glad to hear your updates and congrats on your big achievements! As a hobbyist with zero composing knowledge, I have learned a lot from your videos. Since you are pursuing more musicality, I think you could do a break down or explain your thought of your pieces in retrospect, instead of live composing. I'm sure it will be equally entertaining without compromising your goal. Anyway, glad to see you back!
I was listing to Port Storm yesterday and noticed you didn't upload for quite a while. Picard S03 is the best ST:PIC, now i think it is even a little bit awesome. 👍
Damn, guess I need to watch it now 😂 Thank you for the update Daniel, happy to see you're back! And of course - congratulations for these achievements!! Harry Gregson Williams is gorgeous, seems like you've really come a long way :) Looking forward to your "new" style of music! (Also love the editing, you had me good a few times)
Yeah Daniel.... when someone offers you a gig involving a major network or studio and it has ANYTHING to do with Star Trek, you stop thinking about it at all, and boldly GO! Congrats to you on that!
It's amazing how you've grown and the things you've achieved ❤❤❤ you inspired me to take up music production so I owe it to your streams for inspiring me and I am so happy you're doing soo well. You completely deserve it. 🎉
Glad your coming back, I see you’ve also been working on your video editing skills too lol, but I would like to say, that detailed composing that your saying would be boring to watch, we would love to see that stuff, and I’m sure your much quicker with it now given your time away to practice. Looking forward to watching you again Dan!
Glad to hear you are doing well and you might be returning to sunny old England. I think it's good to be able to do quick mock ups as well as more focused compositions. I am always amazed at the speed of your workflow and how you make your videos entertaining and at the same time informative
Been following your content for a while. I absolutely love your live composing streams, I take a lot of inspiration from you and i aspire to have the sort of work you are getting. Glad you got all this stuff going for you, and it's great to have you back here on YT :)
Bro i was kinda upset that we may have lost you as a brother and teacher as you have been away for so long. But now having watched this, i'm so happy that you gave yourself time and care to let yourself grow as a composer and a human being. And after all happier to see that we are not actually forgotten. I hope you keep getting involved in big and bigger projects as you totally deserve it ❤️
Thanks mate! Thats why I made this video, people were worried I was gone for good, wanted to explain whats happening so we were all on the same page :)
Star Trek Picard?!! Wow. Congrats!!! I started composing around the same time you started uploading on youtube ages ago. I will admit that unfortunately I have severely regressed and stopped composing years ago. I miss it. Seeing your success is a wake up call for me. I am super happy for you. You are an inpiration. Looking forward to hearing your music again.
I’ve been busy this year at a job that I hate, feeling low energy from the depression I’m working through because of a controlling girlfriend and toxic mother who’s only currency is neglect.
Congrats on the Trek gig! Nice for the portfolio. Yeah, Live Streams are basically a music composition version of a Julia Child cooking show. Keep it entertaining while doing a bit of teaching. Have that pre-cooked cake in the oven. LOL
@@DJLA CH going full transphobe, lots of drama around pianobook and YTers pulling collabs will spitfire and spitfire management desperately trying to pretend that nothing happened. Jeremy "red means recording" did a big video on it.
If you like livestreaming and you want to make more technical pieces then just do it - to hell with what anyone thinks! I know I'd find that more interesting than what you normally do, and I imagine there are lots of others who also would. Also, no reason you can't spend the first 20 mins sketching something quickly, then the next 4 hours refining it!
Don't edit the video like this. It's not cool, it's just distracting. You are enough interesting and beautiful, it's not necessary to do these "trendy cuts".

Love the direction you will be taking your future videos 🎵🎶
I'm hyped to get back to it!
Congratulations, Daniel.

and you always inspired me to be a better composer.
I miss your livestreams on Twitch.
I hope you'll have time to do more of these soon.
I'd watch a stream full of technical "ba da da"s that's not boring to me, glad to see you back.
LMAO, your random editing just constantly cracks me up. Glad to hear you were/are working so many cool projects! Keep it up, DJ!
Haha yeah it really brings out the chaos of my ADHD brain 😂
Congrats! I've learned a ton watching your videos over the years and you've been a huge inspiration to me and many other aspiring composers. Glad to see you back on youtube!
Thats awesome to hear mate, shouldnt be too long before we are back at it.
Daniel, it is really great to hear from you again - you have been missed!!. Your enthusiasm in the creation of music and confirmation that it has evolved is great to hear - I for one can't wait for further updates and your return to streaming on a regular basis. 👍
Totally content DJ. Glad you're growing as a composer and human being. Looking forward to see your new style of composing soon.
Its been a time of self reflection and growth, I think its helped! See you a the next stream!
It's great to see your energetic vibe! Thank you for sharing this video, it reminds me of a peaceful time when I watched your streams in my home studio in Ukraine and didn't think about "will this ruzzian missile fall on my house now?"
Yeah welcome back….watched you from the beginning in that little room!
We have come quite a long way on this channel 😂
Good to have you back, stunning news and cool edits! It was your presentation of Jaeger that made me buy it and learned a lot from you since
Thats awesome! that was a good library too, the track on that one just fell out of me :)
Nice to see you back, I always learn a trick or two from your tutorials!
Hey thanks mate! Glad I am useful! I'll need to write down all the new bits I have learned recently so there are more tips to draw from. :)
Congratulations Daniel!
Thanks for everything you did for us. Can't wait to have you back, and hope everything is doing fine rn in your career !!!
Always appreciate what you are doing out there 👏🏼👏🏼 thank you so much for "updating" us 😊
No worries, I think some people just thought I left, wanted to make sure yall knew what was going on.
Yes! More musical thing!
Woah cheers mate!
Welcome back, mate! When I saw your name as additional music writer for ST: Picard, I immediately understood what you were doing for the past 6 months. Well, some bits of that anyway 😁 The photograph with HGW was the cherry on the cake 😂
Its been quite a fun few months 😂
@@DJLA it all comes down to enjoying what we are doing 😁
I totally agree with that music making thing where you spend ~20 minutes tweaking a small phrase and then playing it over and over again. I honestly thought it was just me. And wow congrats man! Looking forward to what you come up with next!
Doesn't matter where you go, we're here for ya! You keep putting out content (or even music haha) and I'll be around!
Good for you, D! Look forward to the results of all your fruitful endeavours!
Wow I miss your livestreams a lot! They were so much inspiring! I actually miss things like HYBRIDWAVE contests even more!
OH my god, the half hour shaping line made me laugh out loud. Perfect. Congrats on the HGW, Lalo Schifrin or Morricone would be my guys.
Welcome back and congratulations on the projects that you are working on. I'm a Metal Gear fan who played the game series since the beginning. So, I can kind of understand your excitement on that panel.
Awesome DJ. Star Trek is right uo there with the HUGE ones for sure. Amazing!
I know right, I was well chuffed!
Great to see you and hear about your achievements. Ok, now back to my life. Thanks for those 15 min dreaming about what it could be to be living some of your dreams as a composer :-)
Just got to keep at it mate, know what you want and put all your energy into that. So long as you don't give up, you will make moves!
Glad you're back!
Me too mate!

God damn. Congratulations Daniel. Really happy for you mate :-)
Those are some massive franchises to write for. Massive congrats Daniel and I'm eager to hear new music from you!
Yeah Daniel.... when someone offers you a gig involving a major network or studio and it has ANYTHING to do with Star Trek, you stop thinking about it at all, and boldly GO! Congrats to you on that!
Welcome back! Everything you say makes a lot of sense. Can't wait to hear more of the new stuff.

Can't wait for the live recordings! I hope you still made some of the juicy low brass.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing these insights.

Congrats on the gigs!
Not livestreaming for 6 months meant you missed out on stiring the pot with spitfire some more
Haha what did I miss?

Daniel who!?
Don't edit the video like this. It's not cool, it's just distracting. You are enough interesting and beautiful, it's not necessary to do these "trendy cuts".
