How I make SIMPLE MUSIC for YouTube videos, one track at a time

[@JJones-gw9vy]

There's so much talent in channels like these. Making your own music on top of making great videos. I hate how effortless and copy/paste big channels are these days, they really don't put any heart into their craft.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

I love all the layers and of course your dancing! You got moves and grooves, boy!

[@fr.dn.raphaelshelton8899]

Is there anything CrafsMan can't do! Love you CrafsMan!

[@TooMuckinFuch17]

One of your older videos inspired me to start making music. It's amazing the new friends I've made and new things I've found in common with old friends after getting into basic production and music theory. No vibes better than Crafs vibes on YT! Keep on steady craftin'.

[@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC]

The man just casually invented retrospace breakfolk.

[@ronr3407]

Whenever Crafsman uploads, it’s always a great day

[@mraduanemc]

My main asmr trigger is instruction. That's one of the reasons I love you, Crafsman. When you add to that my other love, music, I wanted the video to go on forever.

[@ConeNore]

There's something so special in your music

[@arvaniaconstructions]

Thank you, Crafsman, for this great video! You inspired me to try out making music. It's fun, and I might give it another shot sometime soon. :)

[@brittinghammerforge9441]

Keep up the good work craftsman.

[@DadMakes]

@TheCrafsMan, You are now my favorite human. I'm sure my wife & kid will understand.

[@TravisMarsala]

its so strange to think before KZbin people like Crafsman were out in the world and they maybe achieved some level of local celebrity. Maybe even get a PBS show... but thanks to the internet - he can find an audience and voice and just be a force for positivity.

[@billdefranza4927]

You're a real Renaissance man, my friend.

[@thecultofcarny4195]

new crafsman is always a treat

[@paulkita]

Oh craftsman you are a national treasure!

[@darrenmichaels]

So many creators have sourced AI for video scoring. It's nice to see you going the old school route. Well, I guess it's the newer old school route. But yeah, right on.

[@nomansarker5556]

Crafsman, you have more talent in one nitrile glove, than I've got in a whole gimp suite.

[@CheebyD]

Thank you Craftman. Lovin' your work x💚x

[@DotNetsCorner]

Please never stop making music Crafsman it's amazing

[@xx_PCCR_xx]

You are amazing! Thanks for sharing your wonderful work with all of us!!

[@AndreSjoberg]

Now THAT’S what I call music :) Good to see more people being creative in several different ways :) All hail the king :)

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Real musicians always say "Its very easy and intuitive. you just do this" and everybody else just looks on and thinks I could never do that.

[@kaitlyn__L]

I wasn't going to say anything, but your comments about the weather and well-wishes lead me to say: my chronic illnesses flared-up and I missed what was probably the last sunny and warm week over here :( I tried to enjoy what I could through my windows, but I got migraines so I had to shut curtains a lot of the time... but your narration always makes me feel better. Especially the music ones, as like so many other musicians' they remind me that simpler is usually better so I need to stop playing so dang many notes!! Haha

[@guwapjinn]

i love seeing this process and sound as a aspiring music producer, thank you crafsman

[@GoodArtorias]

❤always so talented! CrafsMan is alway showing us many surprises

[@BernardSandler]

Such delight. I edge towards trying this when you make it seem so systematic and approachable.

[@PlasticGeek]

Oh yeah just like that 😂 you make it look so easy Crafsman… I swear anytime I try making music is just randomness

[@tethys17]

I remember we had a brief play around with Sonys Acid Pro back in college but I never had my own PC or the software. Watching this makes me want to make music so much 😢

[@3DJapan]

I've folded around with music over the past 25 years or so. Not seriously but sometimes I also make tracks for my KZbin videos. It's nice to not have to worry about copyright. I mostly use Roland Zenbeats, which was called Stagelight when I started using it.

[@NepotismTV]

It's so impressive that a puppet can play guitar.

[@LukasKetner]

[@howardrobinson7245]

you are a master of the arts Craftsman :D

[@Gootie29]

That music from the polymer clay video has a Massive Attack vibe. I dig it

[@SCU3A_S7EVE]

2:20 - Crafsman has some crazy good dexterity (for a puppet).

[@bonce]

oooh those beats go hard at the end :)

[@carltonwagner]

Great video. Making music might be my next enthusiasm.

[@FaolPlay]

Much love Crafsman

[@Orinmaxden]

Your music is the best! If you release an album or something i would love listening while i work or game etc. It's really amazing.

[@clownymoosebean]

He is secretly one of the crafters of the universe, reincarnated as a mortal. He is simply acting on instinct.

[@WeNameTheStars]

Hey Crafsman, love that you show this kind of thing. As a musician myself, I always wonder what approach you take to create your tunes. If you haven’t already, check out the Polyend Tracker/Tracker Mini. This is how I’ve been creating music as of late, using everyday sounds and turning them into soundscapes such as a foghorn from a cruise ship turned into bowed strings or the static from the radio into a new instrument utilizing the wavetable. Keep steady craftin!

[@TheDistur]

Fun to see how you work

[@Alex-p6z9z]

Your pure magic uncle

[@boyleiidea]

Wonderful job!

[@SurfaceDweller]

[@thisisaguy]

Fantastic, Crafsman! Also, I have ordered so many Pocketnauts that I'm running out of places to put them.

[@volttherobot]

[@jr8209]

so great

[@waltonfurnacewoodworkingan8663]

Put some of that Mississippi rain sounds in there!

[@culturefan]

I wondered how you learned the Korg Synth and if you had a video on that. I've seen a few Korg videos, but have yet to see one that easy to follow.

[@SuperTgra]

I like that hook

[@marsbeads]

I like it

[@honey_bee_live]

Cool!

[@ray24051]

I'm waiting for Crafsman The Album!

[@carlpbrill]

CrafsMan!! What tuning are you using?! So awesome!!!

[@CuddlyOgre]

I'd love to see a video how to convert a 6 string to a 4 string.

[@screwzilla]

What song is that you were playing it's in my head I know it just can't think of the name

[@bikegarrett]

Dust in the wind ?

[@screwzilla]

​@@bikegarrettthank you it drove me crazy and I knew the song but just could not get it out my chest you are a gentleman and a scholar

You are " The CrafsMan " like # 140 view 668 thanks for another tasty treat !!!

Any chance to get a Crafsman music playlist?

Steady strummin

[@CausticCatastrophe]

valhalla makes the best reverb plugins by far!

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

Crafsman! You build music like some folks build those Lego (tm) things that look so fantastic. You might make things from Lego (tm) for all I know. I don't though, I did not have Lego (tm) as a child. I had concrete blocks. One time I dropped one on my foot and fractured a metatarsal. Had to walk a quarter mile back home on a broken foot. I made it though! That was a long time ago. They say kids were tougher then. Maybe so. Anyway, ever build any of those Lego things, or is that to restrictive for your style?

[@thenameless3271]

The lack of a (tm) on the final mention of Lego (tm) is the ultimate subversion!

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

@@thenameless3271 Good catch! I also missed the second o that should have been in 'too' in that last sentence. My mind must have been wandering by then as it it wont to do. I'll stop worrying about it now.

[@sclogse1]

Buried under blankets on a table in my bedroom is a very early Ensoniq ES1-1 keyboard, all metal except for the keys still hooked up to rack mounts of sounds from Roland and Kurzweil, outputting to a buried Yamaha 4 Track casette recorder and mixer almost three feet deep. You used regular cassettes but stuck a metallic sticker on the rear to communicate that this was to be four track. All these things in my bedroom are hidden by future stuff. The ESQ-1 was extremely user friendly with it's on board 8 tracks midi mixer. Crazy that I still have all this stuff buried.

[@Adrianaisjawsome]

The song reminds me of Little Big Planet

[@beautheige8690]

No fig newton guitar??? Hahah hope all is well my friend!

I want imitone to ipad. I cant play any instrument. At least not play a melody from my head. I dont speak the music language. I speak visual art language. But music is much harder for me

[@jOoomOooo]

computer craftin!

[@stupid9479]

I do wish the music on your videos was more relaxing

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you for your honesty, and for at least checking this out! I do appreciate it! The ones on the "MUSIC to CRAFT by" release are maybe more on the chilled side (but even some of those have heavy bass + drums) but I would be intrigued about intentionally making relaxing music. Even incorporating binaural audio recordings.

[@Nickknows00]

@@TheCrafsMan Yes would love that! I love to watch your videos to fall asleep but sometimes the techno beats conflict a bit with how relaxing your voice is

[@graphictwitch-5355]

I think im first!
