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+

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!

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

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! : )

I LOVE your running Gag at 1:57 ! Ha ha ha, everytime you got me with that, I only realize it after a few seconds...like: WAIT , did he said Star Trek? And then I jump back a few seconds on the video to hear it again. ROFL... Live long and prosper my friend!

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

Wow, posted 8 seconds ago... I stayed up way too long. If im catching craftsman videos fresh out the oven.

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

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

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 KZfaq 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!

In my opinion, Crafsman is the best thing to happen to KZfaq. Always... just awesome.

The, "I got it" with the ear made me laugh so hard that I snorted 😂

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

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

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

Ooooo, a hand reveal! ;D This was so well done! Loved every bit of it!

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!

Have a strong suspicion this is gonna be an all-time great video on this channel. Let's see now... *Edit: Yup.

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!!

As a BBC voiceover artist, this video gave me _much_ pleasure - thank you, Crafsman! 🖤🎙

"I need to update my software" I haven't laughed out loud in a while, thank you!

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

This right here is my absolute favourite KZfaq channel!

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.

8:42 I nearly had a heart attack

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.

This is a video I needed. I’m gonna have to watch it 78 more times before I understand it but I’ll get there.

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.

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

The mouse trap kid scream and the heavenly choir sound clips are my favorite reoccurring ones. :)

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.

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

best 20 minutes on sound on the Internet! It's the first time I've seen a toothpick controlled XLR eq, too! :)

im really glad to know that the crafsman is literally a hand puppet in every way

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.

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.

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.

This video was awesome. Thanks Crafsman! That wax has been stuck in my ear for years

It's amazing the amount of sounds you can get from everyday household items...good video..my favorite still the oOOo yeahhh...lol...man all those super 8 video cameras...love it

The humor in this is A+ 😂

That "I need to update my software" line killed me.

Thanks for once again putting a smile on my face. Although I had to stop crafting, to see your video. The Mod Podge would have spilled all over my desk otherwise. I love ya

Best tuber there is. Another gem Crafsman.

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.

Had headphones on. Literally pulled my head away when crafsman put his finger in my ear.

That baby scream….. and that nice new cutting mat! 🔥

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!

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!)

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

A new CrafsMan episode for my birthday, and he even played the Happy Birthday song for me! I don't need any other presents 😁

Wow! Headphones made a HUGE difference!

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

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 👏

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

"any Star Trek films" and millions of heads exploded... lolz! Love you humor.

This has to be the best thing I have found on KZfaq

I watched everyone of his videos today because of your recommendations. Thank you for that. He is a much different humor than yours, but it is brilliant in his own way. We love y’all, Sister Gigi and the Williams’s

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.

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.

When we were kids we had Jim Henson. Now we have the Craftsman!

What a week so far! Gerald Casale of DEVO puts out a super cool video, And the Crafsman puts one out also that makes me forget about all problems. Thank you Crafsman!

The bouncy balls with the binaural mic was one of the BEST ASMR SOUNDS. My ears smiled. It looked weird, it was creepy, but they smiled.

That random screech just a minute in made me laugh way harder than it should have. It's just so different from the entire tone of this channel!

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

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

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.

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

the gag with the gloves it's fantastic :D

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

oh crafsman! your videos give me one of the strongest happiness I've ever felt. thank u 😭🥺

Ooohhh I love loved those pistachio shells! Makes me think of water running over hollow wood chimes or something similar! :D

Crafin some ASMR stuff right here! The good ASMR people can make content out of everyday things done simple. It is all about the sounds presented.

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

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

This channel is simply delightful.

I have always found crafsman videos informational and helpful that's why I love his videos

18:21 "I need to update my software" The Crafsman is on fire.

Never seen one of your vides before. No idea what this channel is about. But I subscribed about 90 seconds in. You are a treasure.

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.

I’m seriously amazed by the high quality production value of these videos.

Love ya brother. Your witty humor is top notch. “I need to update my software” = too funny! God Bless!

Thanks for talking about using a EQ. It helped me understand it better. I’ve been trying to teach myself to do music mixing.

Crafsman - “ASMR makes me uncomfortable”. Also Crafsman - proceeds to make one of the best ASMR videos on KZfaq.

Craftsman you make me smile

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!

Awesome!! Real hard not to get hyper watching The Craft Man.

Uhh no Crafsman. You never change that glorious god-given voice of yours... Your voice is like velvet. You should probably take the advice of the tens of thousands of people who absolutely love your voice instead of the few dozen weirdos :)

I suppose you could call today’s episode Foleycraftin :D

I absolutely loved the Crafnation title card!
