As someone who loves music, but has no idea how to make any, I love watching behind the scenes of making music! I think it's best when someone records themselves making the song as they're doing it so that we can see their thought process better of what was going through their mind as they were making it
There's just something so heartwarming about this video! 💖 I'm always happy to see people explain things with a burning passion! As an artist, I find the "behind the scenes", the "inner kitchen" (as I call it) content very relatable! Seeing you making the first steps, doing experiments, leaving some versions in the drafts, tweaking things, sending parts of the song to your brother for feedback, having the "AHA!" moments and figuring things out, adding the finishing touches...It just makes the final creation all that more special. The context, the journey, the "how did I get here" is the most interesting thing to me, personally. When you know more about the journey, what it took you to get to the point that you are at now, it makes you view the "finished" piece in a completely different way. In a way where you appreciate it more, you admire it more, you cherish it more... 💖🌟 I'm really proud of you for releasing the song even if it didn't feel "perfect" to you! I know the "It could always be better, more perfect" thing and struggle with it myself, but the truth is, nothing will ever be "perfect"! :) I really hope that when you are in the process of making more songs, Dan, that you don't forget to document it! I'd love to see more videos like this! 🙌 That said, I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing your future tracks and videos! Keep up the good work, Dan, you're doing amazing! 🔥🌟
I love seeing behind the scenes too. This song is amazing Dan and thank you for everything 💙. You were part of my childhood and millions others we thank you for everything and Space Dog is FIRE 🔥. Keep up the amazing work TeamTDM Forever.
I love it when Dan goes full nerd mode and explains stuff like a creative process in detail, it’s so interesting and weirdly relaxing. The vid where he composes Mirror Sailboat is still one of my favourites
This is a great song. I love Lofi. I recently found medieval lofi, I’m sure it’s been around for a long time, but I can’t stop listening to it! lol Excellent tune, Dan! Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes goodies!! 🙌🏻😁 I love this stuff.
It reminded me of riddle school for some reason and it made me go rewatch the series, nostalgia is just a word that's often thrown out there but I have feelings I don't understand bring back to my past. Love all and ever Dan ❤❤
I know nothing about music and this inspired me in a way. I love this song I’ve been listening to it while studying and it helps! Can’t wait to hear more songs from you Dan.
As making music, you sometimes get ideas, scrap ideas, make different riffs, patterns etc. Also, if you constantly working on your project/music, you will feel unease, hearing it again and again, it makes you feel it’s terrible or overwhelmed. But if you feel like that, just take a break, and do something else, or go to bed, after that it refresh you mind. Overall making music is a very relaxing art. But I hope you had fun making this. Hopefully you can continue making more. 💯
Bro, as someone who's watched you since like 8 and is now studying music in uni, this would be SO cool to have more often. I really love this kind of stuff and I just find it so interesting that one of my childhood youtubers just so happens to have a knack for music production. Love this video and the song, please release more!!!
It's crazy to see how far Dan has come, he started making moded Minecraft let's plays, (Dimond Minecart) and now makes amazing content and music, seep up the amazing work Dan!!❤️
i used to watch this man right here so much, and im currently making stuff going on spotify, so seeing him making music on the same software i use with the same plugins and vsts is the coolest thing ever great song
Super cool seeing the process and I really learned a lot from it. Super happy to see you doing what you love just for the fun of it and understanding that even when there`s always more space for improvement, done is better than perfect. I really enjoyed the song, have it saved on my playlist. Excited to see what else you come up with
This is great not only is dan making a song just for fun but also he is also sharing it with us and showing us how he does it. Thanks dan for all you do.
Love this behind the scenes!! Your style of making music is so similar to mine haha, same plugins and everything. Would really really love to see more of these music behind the scenes videos
i love seeing behind the scenes stuff aswell i have been trying to create digital music for a while but not knowing where to start and this was a good help :D
0:01 I'm with you on that one, music hits better when you see the whole process of the song being made prior to listening to the final product. Abit like waiting for food to be made, you end up more hungry and appreciative when you watch the whole process of the meal being made before eating the meal.
Im so excited to see what else you can do with your musical skills. This video was really interesting too, I love seeing behind the scenes so im glad you released this vid.
this is everything I love! seeing how a song was made, and even hearing early versions/demos! (I have a weird obsession with early versions/demos of music 🤔) please pleaasseeee release more music (and, if you could.. more "how I made"s :D)
Really cool. Tbh had no idea that you'd made a song as I hadn't watched your content in a while but as a musician it's always really fun and enjoyable to see people do track breakdowns of their songs. Also the song sounds great.
Coincidentally I just bought FL a couple of days ago because I am working on music so much now as a hobby and needed an increase in workflow haha, great program! Also awesome job on spacedog!!
The Dr. Trayaurus Rap song literally makes me realize you could be super good at making music in general this kind of stuff is super fun when you get the hang of it I'm glad you like doing it I'd love to hear more! Very Catchy btw
I know I’m a bit late to the party, but I’m glad you got new music! The chord progression you have is a great nostalgia progression. Using the Nashville number system, it’s a 1, Major 3, 6 5. The reason I said Major 3 instead of just 3 is because it’s a chord that is called “non-diatonic” (diatonic means belonging to the scale). The G# doesn’t belong in the key of C. More specifically than non-diatonic, it’s what’s called a “Secondary dominant chord.” It’s very common in lofi music. It’s also used in pop music. Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo and The Maybe Man by AJR are 2 good examples.
As a songwriter, your song was really good! Incredible actually!! love seeing how it’s made and your though process in it, looking forward to seeing what you make next! ✨
I love this so much! I definitely want to see more videos like this for future songs if you're up for it! I'm really interested in music production so seeing how songs like this are made is really cool to me
W Dan. You’re an absolute legend for knowing how to produce music and run a RUclips channel that made our childhoods 10x better AND raise 2 kids. Keep up the good work.
(Please do more videos like this!) This was to cool to watch! I have been learning FL studios and how to make 8-bit music for the past 2 months and I have learn a LOT I have learned some basic music theory and how to structure your music I have also a LOT of videos on what the best plugins you can use for 8-bit music and a whole lot more! so this was really cool to see your process and how you made your music its so surreal to see you without Krush and reference Toby Fox! If I could recommend some plugins for you to try I would recommend 1. SNES Verb 2. Vinyl Guitar 2 -this one is really good for Lo-Fi! 3. Super Audio Cart 4. Thump One 5. Keep Bass 6. GennyFL 7. Magical 8-bit plugin Hopeful you like and use some of these! Thank you for making this please do more!

Dan: creates music by himself
Endigo: am I a joke to you?
That is so true I bet he still waiting for Dan to make a song together 😂
I haven’t heard that name in a long time…
@@Kwarzt :0
Fr
Omg i forgot about that😂
Dan making a rock/metal song would be kinda insane. Incredibly niche but itd be a treat for those who like it
Definitely. I wasn't into rock music when I first started watching Dan nearly 10 years ago but now I am it would be so cool to see
@@alosedyt Dan x bring me the horizon crossover
He’s said he’s a fan of Bring Me The Horizon so I think it’s definitely possible for us to hear those heavy guitars
@@PunkMarioBros That's why I said it
yea that would be sick
Him saying "fruity loops" gave me flashbacks to SPAGHETTIOS
_Cornflakes, SPAGHETTIOS_
omg same
PLEASE we will never let him live that down
@@Obsidianeyes431 Real nice fish, SPAGHETTIOS
@@kittimey234 **Eat SPAGHETTIOS**
PLEASE release more music. Spacedog is too much of a banger
dont think you know what a banger is. its a slow bpm and soft song.
@@mixikano any song is a banger if it sound good enough
@@mixikanoit’s still good lol
@@DeadX2 y’all think it’s good bc it’s DanTDM lmao, ts lowkey ass bro
@@mixikano not rlly lol that shit fire bro imagine hating on dan
'I like things' - #DanTDM, 2024
Based opinion
Lol
Fair
🗿
I love that chord progression, I would never have thought of using a G after that A. It feels like it wants to go to an F but the G works so well
i thought the extact same lol
I might have to make some kind of remix
Quartal harmony! Nice
Yeah, generally a I III vi goes to the IV due to the vocal leading of v,#v,vi,iv rather than v,#v,vi,v
Sailboat is just playing in my mind
:Dan should def reply to this 😁
Omg sailboat I remember that 😂
That’s nostalgic 😭
That what I was thinking about
dan should release mirror sailboat for old times sake 🥲✋🏼
@@ihavekookisandtae_9588 I don’t know if HE did but I know somebody did on Spotify
the early version sounds like a minecraft disk, so does the released one actually
Plot twist: DanTDM is secretly C418
@@ada_funni nah cos c418s name is also daniel so maybe
I adore that Dan released a behind the scenes, really great to see more of his musical talent!
My friend found the song through a playlist I made and was like "Dantdm makes music?!"
We both love the song, I really hope you release more Dan!
he made a same vibe like my "bass blast" music... don't question it cuz i was 9... if it doesn't say it was 4 years ago it's cuz i reuploaded it
I've never heard anyone call FL Studio "Frootie Loops" lol 😂
Fruity loops is the original name
its what it used to be called, thats what fl stands for
he probably already knows that its the og name hes just saying that no one says that, which is true
That’s what it was originally called, but they had to abbreviate it because they got sent a cease and desist to them by Fruit Loops
Dan the og

This “just for fun” song helped me out of depression. Thanks Dan. ❤

This song is actually very Beautiful and very Calming, I usually listen to it while I play video games or do homework!
This is a great song. I love Lofi. I recently found medieval lofi, I’m sure it’s been around for a long time, but I can’t stop listening to it! lol

Dan you are legit incredibly talented. You out here making sick beats, I’m still trying to put on a fitted sheet
i know this is not music related but, could you tell me your thoughts on making a vid (or stream) on the VR game "BONEWORKS"?
Bro, as someone who's watched you since like 8 and is now studying music in uni, this would be SO cool to have more often. I really love this kind of stuff and I just find it so interesting that one of my childhood youtubers just so happens to have a knack for music production. Love this video and the song, please release more!!!
I rlly loved the song! I love the style of music and listen to the style while revising a lot so this was perfect :D
Dan with the FL Studio DAW for the win :D
Interesting to see how you made the track, this is a chill jam ^_^
It's not ableton 🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 (jk I don't care)
Omg it's MrKoolTrix!
The song is a banger!
Agreed
I absolutely love this content. It is really cool to see the behind the scenes of one of my favourite creator's songs .The song sounds amazing btw.
Nothing is better than Dan uploading on my birthday ❤️
Happy late birthday! 🎉
Dan, we need more of your music 💙
this is actually amazing. it's not like those other youtubers who start making music and it's terrible, it's actually good music
When he first made this song 3 weeks ago I felt so nostalgic and idk why
The chances- I just turned on my phone ;D
Perfect timing 👌
Ok???
Shut up
@@Kao_Chuuyahatwhy that was an irrelevant thing to say like nobody cares
Seeing Dan using FL Studio is just amazing. It makes me wonder if he'll ever make FNF music, seeing as FL is like the #1 DAW for FNF mods.
Really interesting to see how spacedog was made. Thanks for showcasing how you made this lofi type song Dan!
For someone who got no clue how music works... That LOOKS LIKE A THE BUTTONS FROM SPACESHIP!! SO COMPLICATED LOOKING
Spacedog made me currently realize how much I took those days I wasn’t sick for granted (the sickness and coughing is so annoying rn)
It’s so cool to see Dan getting in to music because I am a music kid and I LOVE seeing how songs are made
It's crazy to see how far Dan has come, he started making moded Minecraft let's plays, (Dimond Minecart) and now makes amazing content and music, seep up the amazing work Dan!!❤️
It was fire! You should make more music, Dan!
I love this music so much since i had panic attacks and it helped me calm down
danTDM makes music on flstudio: makes spacedog
mirror sailboat: exists but forgotten
i used to watch this man right here so much, and im currently making stuff going on spotify, so seeing him making music on the same software i use with the same plugins and vsts is the coolest thing ever
great song
the song sounds softer and calmer and i love where it went, it is beautiful dan keep working on it you are doing well!
Dan u have inspired me to try and discover how to make music love ur videos and thank you
I listened to spacedog on repeate for hours. It is amazing
Dan always has an adventure time vibe to all his songs
Super cool seeing the process and I really learned a lot from it. Super happy to see you doing what you love just for the fun of it and understanding that even when there`s always more space for improvement, done is better than perfect. I really enjoyed the song, have it saved on my playlist. Excited to see what else you come up with

Props to you dude! I've made over 60 songs on GarageBand and only have released a few on my channel 😅
This is great not only is dan making a song just for fun but also he is also sharing it with us and showing us how he does it. Thanks dan for all you do.

Love this behind the scenes!! Your style of making music is so similar to mine haha, same plugins and everything. Would really really love to see more of these music behind the scenes videos
This song makes me rethink my life and I’m all here for it.
Space dog is awesome I hope you release more
This really helped show just how much work, thought, and effort went into the song. I would love to see or I guess hear, some more music from you!
If I had only one song to listen to on repeat for the *REST* OF MY LIFE, it would be spacedog, 100% .
I love your videos Dan! I've been watching you since i was 5 and i absolutely love your channel.

It was an amazing song Dan!
How long did it take to make it?
(Please do more videos like this!)
This was to cool to watch!
I have been learning FL studios and how to make 8-bit music for the past 2 months and I have learn a LOT

and a whole lot more! so this was really cool to see your process and how you made your music its so surreal to see you without Krush and reference Toby Fox!
If I could recommend some plugins for you to try I would recommend
1. SNES Verb
2. Vinyl Guitar 2 -this one is really good for Lo-Fi!
3. Super Audio Cart
4. Thump One
5. Keep Bass
6. GennyFL
7. Magical 8-bit plugin
Hopeful you like and use some of these!
Thank you for making this please do more!
