18:25 "I need to update my software" made me giggle.

I think Crafsman has one of the best sound games on yt. Not to mention his original music which is a+

Oh, you already KNOW it!

[@servicestuffs2549]

How do we find his music?

[@gr3en_scr3en]

Yeah it's the best perfect balance between no sound effects and sound effects

[@BillMakingStuff]

One of my favourite episodes of yours! Not just because of the shout-out but you have inspired me to expand my own sound library, I can't be left behind now!

[@StudsonStudio]

This was a fantastic video! Thanks Crafsman. The "I coulda built this better" under your breath around 18:01 made me laugh a lot.

[@redactedlogic]

Had me crackin up too, especially at 18:25

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT! This is so well done and you covered so much usable audio information. I really LOVE this one. Your comedy was so on the money, you're always funny, but this one had that extra juice. Great work all around and I'm glad to see that you don't use Q-Tips on yourself or on others! Mad props! : )

[@SnarkNSass]

IKR!! Crossing off a list item with the paper on slime!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@BeOurBee]

Love the shotgun mic gag with the puppet being in front and your voice sounding clearer. There's a lot of fast-paced gags in here and the immersion doesn't break for a second.

[@discosludge]

Crafsman, your foley work, music, and general audio manipulation is one of the high points of your production value. I genuinely look forward to audio in your videos and think about how you capture these sounds a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your secrets!

[@kid_scarlet]

Subverted expectations with taking the glove off! Nicely done! Made me smile :)

[@karen4you]

I know. I love subtle surprises like this. That equalizer mockup tickled me. His creativity knows no bounds.

[@biggafigure8575]

Dude, I had no idea how much effort you put into your videos. You work to hard for us, but I appreciate it.

[@1001natsdrm]

The shock and relief of crafsman taking off his gloves!!! 😂

[@dantheman8862]

There's a lot of weird ASMR out there so get how you don't feel comfortable doing it, but I think most folks would agree your style fits more of the "unintentional ASMR" genre, which isn't any of that strange stuff. Some examples of ASMR vids I would love from you: drawing action figure ideas, reading through an old toy magazine, taking apart / assembling action figures, etc. Just keep the loud sounds and music out and do something rather mundane for 20+ minutes, and baby you've got an ASMR video. Love your content Crafsman!

[@serenapeterson8130]

Strangely, I'm drawn to the swipe of the paper and the sequel "put it back" lol

[@AdamRoss30]

I thought it was funny when he mentioned ASMR making himself uncomfortable because he was the reason I got into some ASMR channels. After I finished all of his videos, I went on a the hunt for something similar and ended up on Moonlight Cottage ASMR... Then the YT algorithm took over lol. It's hit or miss whether I like any ASMR but I definitely prefer stuff like this where there's actually something happening and not just some guy/girl in front of a mic with bubble wrap for 30 minutes lol.

[@TheAquaYoshiDingbat]

@@AdamRoss30 Oh my goodness SAAAME! And I mean exactly! I was looking up spoon ring bending and one of craftmans videos was suggested. His voice and movements, the sounds, the simplicity and efficiency, it all combined to make me feel like tingly pudding! I subscribed immediately and after getting caught up on all his videos, I went on an asmr search and one of the channels I like is Moonlight cottage! I dont really care for the bubble wrap videos myself, I like the sound of wood and woodworking, drawing or writing on paper, and quiet and steady tinkering.

[@DanceDoctorsEastValley]

Genius move showing craftsman speaking directly into the directional mic. The editing in the 4th dimension is inspirational.

[@drunkbobo]

3:03 That’s where you’re wrong CrafsMan. You DO make cinematic masterpieces!

[@Venturestien]

That episode with The kid screaming sound when you were playing with magnets as they slap together, Oh man my coworkers must have thought I had a stoke. I was laughin so hard but quite as possible in the office. I'm glad I was not drinking any liquid.

[@KellyNsGrotto]

Oh boy me too. I had to watch that video several times because oh man I was crackin up so much.

[@TheAquaYoshiDingbat]

Me tooo! I wheezed and tears flowed! I watched it a few times! It was just perfect and absolutely hillarious!

[@hullinstruments]

I know quality recording when I hear it. It’s how I pay my bills! I spent the past 15 years dedicated to chasing The invisible beast! 😂 I concur with other commenters here! You are among the top 1% on all of KZbin with your sound and recording quality!! I don’t know how you did it in those early days on such a shoestring budget…. but it’s always been great!

[@hullinstruments]

Another great channel for awesome sound recording and effects is “retro recipes“. His “screw removing“ squeaky sound is one of my favorites.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Wow. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@UncleJessy]

Oh my goodness this is such a fantastic video. I've been meaning to make some dedicated sound effects (resin shaking in a bottle, printer sounds, popping supports off etc). Also appreciate the WHOOSH effect ideas. I have used my mouth for some of mine haha. So much cleaner

[@serenapeterson8130]

I like your videos. My introduction to you was a hand puppet, but now I know you don't use it all the time. Your voice is very soothing and interesting to listen to. Plus, you inspire me to think I can do what I put my mind to. I want to make custom candle molds and your strategies for model design are totally applicable. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I just wanted to say that you CAN do what you put your mind to. I encourage you to be courageous and roll with it. You can do it!

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

1:15 "We goin to *cut* to this right thur." CrafsMan's wit is always so sharp.

[@SeekerPsycho1]

The felt hands reveal XD And I didn't realize you could just lower the high pitch to make things sound farther away! Lots of great tips here

[@andrewwilde4496]

You know its gonna be a good day when not only is there a new steady crafting video, but its about sound, ASMR heaven!!! P.S - I received the items I purchased from your shop the other day, my wife loved her surprise!! Thank you crafs family for your work!!

[@skizzlep]

With the "Star Trek", c'mon now. You're killing me, Crafsman 🤣😂🤣.

Really really enjoyed this one. Brilliant. The ASMR was top notch as well!

[@magoo983]

As a video creator, I've always struggled with how to get ideas for foley, and how much is too much. I absolutely love this and I thank you sooooo much.

[@TheCrafsMan]

I'm very glad to hear how much you enjoyed this! Thank you for taking time to watch and comment!

[@iamyourfan9729]

I like the fact you dont have too many soundeffects in the video. especially loud ones. You're like Bob ross to me. Chill voice and a master at his craft. It's pure and therefor super enjoyable. There are hundres of people overusing soundeffects on youtube, but very few manage to create such a high quality feel for a show with using so FEW as you do. I fully support your decision to add sound effects to future videos - but please don't forget to maintain that simple audio character of your show which makes you channel unique.

[@the_str4ng3r]

16:35 completed my life, sir. Please never stop doing what you do!

[@krekcabnow2910]

That “everyone needs a hobby” joke really cracked me up.

[@rightybird]

Absolutely the best part - taking off the gloves to show you don't need gloves. Loved it! :-) This was a wonderful assortment of technique, terminology and humor. Very well done! I am going to watch and listen again.

[@Joe.Horsenail]

Dude. This is brilliant. I've been home recording my whole life because my dad was a recording engineer and you taught me several things.

This is great Crafsman! I’m a professional sound designer and I’m often asked how to get started in sound design. I’m gonna send folks to this video. A total sound education.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

That baby scream cracks me up every time! And I have started using the gospel chorus in my everyday life when something cool happens. What I'm saying is, Crafman makes my life better just by making a video. OoooooOOOOOH YEeah!

[@krekcabnow2910]

I can’t believe people would say you sound like serial killer. It’s just plain false. Your voice has always sounded very comfy and relaxing. It’s a big part of what drew me to start watching your videos and continuing watching your videos consistently. Sometimes the internet can be too fast or too slow or to energetic and this channel is really specially cause I can chill out.

[@TheWindGinProject]

TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin is top notch entertainment yall. Get Your Craft on!

I must thank you, Crafsman, for the steady infusion of calm, honest happiness that you always bring to us.

Don't worry about using too much sound on your videos CrafsMan, I love the quieter side of your videos because it's really calming and chill.

Hey Crafsman. You have had a very, very positive impact on my life. Thank you.

[@watchmeanimateYT]

I'm definitely feeling this sound episode......this right here..

[@jackiemorrell2298]

I am a fan of ASMR but not all of it, sometimes it's just the difference between closing your eyes and just listening. For me, it brings back relaxing memories. When you dig through your drawers for just the right component, the sound of the items shuffling, the items rolling, dropping and shifting, the quiet humpfs as you don't find the right thing and move on to the next spot in your drawer or the opening swoosh of the next drawer to start the process all over, it reminds me of my dad when I would help him in his workshop. BTW, you have never sounded like a serial killer, that's just crazy talk.

[@j-digglywiggly6785]

Oh TCM... You've outdone yourself with this one. Immensely enjoyed all the little touches.

[@TheCrafsMan]

J-Diggly!!!!! Thank you!

[@hullinstruments]

Goodness gracious this is so satisfying. One of your best videos and I bet it blows up and gets a ton of views after it gets discovered again. Wish I could give it 10 thumbs up

[@geoffstartswithg]

Best tuber there is. Another gem Crafsman.

[@JJOfficer525]

This is the best channel for unintentional asmr🙌 crafsman is a natural at it without even trying. Building things and explaining things in that silky raspy whispery voice is what the asmr channels try hard to do👍 there’s a lot of asmr yt subscribers that would love this channel 👏

[@alinds1]

Crafsman, you really put a lot of extra special sauce on this one, and it was delicious! Thank you for your hard work and excellent teaching. Off to give it another viewing! (and then rustle up a microphone to make some FX!)

Such a good crash course! I've spent hours watching foley artists do their thing and I'm always amazed. It's magic! I've been planning a video where I breakdown my old project videos and do all the foley work as if it was done like that to begin with... because I think it's funny... but that might be just for me hahaha! Anyway, care package inbound! keep watch out for a delivery.

[@allstrange7495]

[@crystalschumacker2577]

This video is amazing. The levels of care that are put into explaining sound effect and the time put into the visuals. Are far above what would he required or expected by someone who may not have been aware of The Crafsman. I truly believe he is one of the blessings put upon this time to be cherished. Thank you for the work you do and for sharing yourself with the world.

[@TheDistur]

Your audio is real nice. Has range and clarity. Thanks for the video CrafsMan!

[@mraduanemc]

Instant classic, Crafsman. I LOVE sound. And guess what. You already make ASMR videos. Your sound production is always on point and one of the somewhat common triggers for ASMR fans is interesting sounds that are specifically tied do demonstration of some sort. Sound familiar? You're a legend Crafsman! We're all so appreciative of what you do.

[@Smidge204]

Man, the price of even "entry level" audio gear is heart-wrenching. But I guess if you're gonna get serious about it, it's an investment. "Buy once, cry once" as they say! As for a sound booth; you can makeshift something quick with some heavy curtains, blankets or towels; hang 'em up or make a tent out of 'em. Soft fuzzy surfaces with wavy angles absorb and spread out sounds. It really doesn't take much to soften an echoy room!

[@distant1334]

One thing many sound techs recommend is jsut a blanket over your head and the mic if you don't have a sound booth

[@Mistersaul54]

This was one of the most informative sound based videos i've seen. Along with those amazing comedic parts, outstanding quality in both video, audio, editing, and craftwork, your channel is one of the best of the best. I'm a musician who's learning to dip into digital music production and i gotta say, i will *absolutely* utilize some tips i've learned from this video into my own craft ;) From one artist to another, I congratulate you on this outstanding format you've developed, along with the amazing production quality. Hard work shows in full force with your videos. Thank you crafsman👍 keep steady craf'in, Saul

[@Grindhead_Jim]

New Crafsman in my ears is always a massive improvement to my day.

[@ubmastering]

Craftsman probably already knows this trick. If you take celery sticks and twist them they make a fantastic crunching noise. Same goes with smashing wet heads of lettuce with bat. Food can be great foley sources but can be messy too.

[@thenameless3271]

I love when you make videos about audio, you're a wonderful explainer.

[@mehere7983]

That was fantastic! I really like when you get to see how a sound effect is produced. Great job as always Crafman. I am so glad you are here on youtube.

[@breeziedreamz]

How fortunate that I was wearing my headphones while watching this episode. So good!

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

People telling CM to do ASMR are missing the whole point. CM's videos ARE already ASMR. I honestly wish CM had hour long videos where he just talks about stuff he finds interesting. I could listen to that all day.

Of course Craftsman’s a serial killer. Kills me every time. LOVE IT!

That's one high quality equalizer. I need to get a spiffy one like that! Seriously though, I love videos that give handy tips like this. You also manage to keep it interesting with some humor, like the "Crafnation" opening. The videos here are always enjoyable, even if I don't really craft.

Thank you Craftsman! I learned a lot from this video I really like the part that you said about spending more money on audio then video equipment. I think I bought about 7 microphones before I found one that would work with my software LOL have a great day😎👍

Every Video of you is a fine piece of art. And i love you for that.

Thanks Crafsman, this is just what I needed. I don't have all the tech but I can still record samples on my phone. Your videos are always inspiring but this is gold for any creator. Sound is half the experience. 🤔👍

[@Dusty_Ford]

The humor in this is A+ 😂

[@seankayll9017]

Thanks Crafsman, learned a few things here. By the way, you can make your own binaural microphone by putting small mic cartridges inside the rubber ears used for acupuncture training!

[@imnotsurewhy]

Binaural Microphones are elite. You would kill it making ASMR videos since you're very knowledgeable with sound design.
