I'm a psychiatric nurse. I can't count how many people I have recommended your channel to for dealing with anxiety, overcoming depression, and decompressing before bed. You are my happy fix. Thanks.

You might need a second channel: "Steady Groovin'", because we dig what you're laying down! And extra points for ukulele usage!

For real?! Although music is something I'm passionate about, it feels like I'm cheating my average viewer out of a build video when I do this. :/ (And the poor video performance seem to confirm.) But for sure, these types of videos are way easier than build videos, and a live stream is easier still, so it's encouraging knowing at least a couple folks actually enjoy them. Thank y'all! :)

You produce all kinds of fun tunes. Thanks for sharing and encouraging all of us

“Steady Music to Craft to.”

You really are an educational one-stop-shop for all things creative, Crafsman. Thanks for all the effort you put into helping people make stuff!

"Don't be afraid of hitting the wrong note." That is some really good life advice!

Thats why theyre called accidentals! Wrong notes can sound awrsome sometimes.

Crafsman, you might not be a professional-music-academy-trained musician but you if you play music you are a musician. On top of that you’re a composer, sound engineer and a producer. So keep on steady strumming and drumming. (Love the warm tone and timbre of that ukulele.)

11:49 The 'magnet note' is the fifth note of the scale you're using (i.e. it is a 'perfect fifth' interval from the 'tonic' or first note of the scale), it's called the 'dominant' in music theory for exactly the reason you describe. The first two notes of the Star Wars theme are the tonic and the dominant, it's very powerful.

Just as an aditional step, REAPER does have a proper audio looper, it'scalled Super 8 and works pretty much like the Boss/Roland looper pedals Reggie uses.

I had this video playing over the car audio while driving in a snowstorm today. The music set the mood nicely.

Finally got to watch it. You magically inspired me once again. I love this song and it somehow reminds me of the Adventure Time Outro song "Come Along With Me".

This is steady becoming Mr. Crafsman’s Neighborhood. It’s a beautiful day in the Crafsmanhood!

CrafsMan bringin music to the people. This is huge bc loop pedals can be expensive. Thanks for taking the time to show us this fantastic workflow.

The Crafsman, You just made my day! I ordered a few stickers (OTO7 IS SO CUTE!) and 2 pocketnauts as a little gift for myself in the hopes i would forget i did it before it got here and it worked! I had a very rough day, but also my first appointment at therapy. But coming back home to find this little carepackage from past me and the crafs-family was the perfect relief to a long day! But the best part of the package was my little Tony C's! ❤😂 Thank you so much for everything you do, and Crafsman vinyl album soon?

:D It means so much to us to read things like this. THANK YOU for your kindness. We're so glad you like the items! :D

I am the least musically inclined person out there, but this was so satisfying and pleasing to watch. You make everything seem so accessible, Crafsman. Love the end result track. God bless!

Loving these sorts of videos as well as your build videos. Always like seeing the music making process, maybe this will be the one to make me free up some time to play about. So inspiring, and just nice to listen to.

My favorite channel! Somehow when im feeling low on inspiration a new video comes out from Craftsman & my perspective shifts. My creativity comes back. Thank you for these videos. I am truly grateful

Crafsman is a treasure for the whole world

“Crafman is not a musician” Making bops like this makes you a musician my friend!

#1 I LOVE Reggie Watts. He’s great. B. As someone has little interest in making my own music, this was still so very fun to watch. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank yoh

Rock Steady Looping! Yet another inspirational glimpse into the workshop. Truly a balm for the soul, man.

Such a cool video. I first discovered your channel through reaper and via bead bots and lots of other fun stuff, it's great to come back to it!

Dang, that 8 bit intro is 🔥

Amazing video as always! You gotta release more of your tracks or create another channel to release them there cause they're that good!

Been looking for something like this for a LONG time! Thanks for the cool grooves.

For the past few months I've been cooking in my head that I want to make some music. Simple stuff, something like what he showed here. I was watching videos for keyboards and midi controllers, but his solution to just make use of hotkeys and a simple midi controller is the simplicity I wanted. Thank you!

This makes me really glad. I put out music-related videos like this sometimes and they significantly "under perform", as far as numbers go. (KZread reminds me every morning just how poorly my last episode is doing. LOL.) But one solid comment like this right here, is all it takes to make me feel like the video wasn't a bad idea. Thank you.

That intro was so cool. Another fun video.

Your videos are always so magical, Crafsman. I'm so glad and thankful you are who you are.

so inspired by these!! "don't be afraid to hit the wrong note" 😭💜

“Don’t be afraid to hit the wrong note”. -Another nugget of CrafsMan wisdom right theh… xoxo

Merry Christmas Crafsman! Had to come back to this vid to listen and chill a bit before the big holiday tomorrow.

You say you don't know music theory but basically explained how to resolve a melody! Nice.

Always inspiring me to branch out and try to learn or rather to play with different things!😂 love the videos crafsman!

So much fun! My ears are twiggling!

Another awesome Crafs-jam! Love all your learning and sharing. "Don't be afraid to hit a wrong note", words to live by.

Nice tune you created! It IS inspiring but... I'd need another lifetime or two to do all the things I'm inspired by like that.

Love your videos CrafsMan. They are somehow so relaxing but also energetic. I always find myself creatively inspired ... either to try what you are teaching or apply the lesson to my own projects.

Craftsman just made a banger just playing around gonna be my ring tone now

I have a slight feeling, you might be Reggie in disguise..thank you man, this gives me so much hope..and kinda alleviates my depression. Wish we were friends irl. I’ve been looking to make music the way Reggie does it, this is perfect. I’m just unsure about which keyboard to get..there’s 5 of them, all around 100€ and I can’t seem to pick one. You’re a wonderful person.

Is there anything you can't do ? Just talented ..Amazing Job !!

This is really inspirational. With how you were hitting "wrong notes" it reminded me of myself plinkering on my piano keyboard, and it inspires me to not fear hitting "wrong notes", that it's part of the process and I'm not messing up when I do it. Thank you for being an inspiration Crafman. You've done other things that are inspirations for me, too. Thank you for being you. God bless you and your family💗

Hope you had a Wonderful Christmas with your Family this year.

I'd forgotten about old Reggie Watts, I was watching a lot of his videos a few years ago - you've reminded me of him again! Thanks! Ps Check out J Dilla - he famoosely turned off quantasization and made things off-beat and cool sounding. PPS I think that magnet note you refer to is also called the 'root' - my friend Sven told me :D

Merry Christmas to you and yours CrafsMan.

Crafsman you are simply amazing!! Every one of your videos are such a wonderful gift, THANK YOU!Merry Christmas 💕

Why do I wanna see Crafsman amd Teezo Touchdown collab? They give me a similar dreamy, soulful vibe. Wha-- is that an acoustic bass? I should have seen that coming.

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I always love when you make music. Thank you for always lifting my mood and reminding me of the wonder of watching things be made.

I’d love to listen to your beats while taking a flying taxi above Neo-Tokyo

I was looking for an easy to use looping software! thanks CrafsMan!

I have Missed your content

now THIS is COOL

Your gifts are manifesting❤

Winning at music!!!

You should check out Keller Williams (not the realtor). Homie drops the funky loops!

Some of those wrong notes sounded good. It's all about in syncopation and surprises in the melody. :) Love the show :) Thanks for the video

Really enjoyed this video and now I have more study to do 😂 how do you find the time man?!

Fantastic!

Craftsman is becoming a real musician a little at a time every video. I couldn't handle a keyboard that well in one good to save my life.

Please do more kit bash!!!

Kind of reminds me when I had a brick phone and each number was a higher and higher sound and I would play music on it all the time. I started with Mary had a little lamb but then got really good at it and would jam on my cell phone.

Sometimes wrong notes are right notes. Sometimes things shouldn't be quantized.

There's a character in the game Warframe named Octavia. Her weapon is a looping soundtrack. You can make about any track you want with it. The trick is to not give yourself a headache. 😅 My current track is based on Monodony by The Fat Rat. But this freestyling was amazing.

YOOO CrafsMan! Can you show us how to do a multi-color silicon injection mould? Let's say you have a baseplate and then you want embossed letters in a different color to the plate.

So when's your first Album coming out 🤔

Fun fact: Reggie Watts is from my hometown, Great Falls MT.

Just wanted to let you know that you're the best

Love it please teach me more master. I have a computer. What else do I need. Thank you I'm steadily crafting. ❤

Since you're dipping into audio stuff, please just review the Dirtywave M8 - I think it would be right up your alley.

Im terrible with music but yalls videos give me a hope that i can improve

Crafsman would be cool if you made your version of some of your favourite show characters and made some action figures or figure of your interpretation of that character

G.A.S. therapy

Bro just drop the album, my body is ready!!!!!

tell me why I was just gettin it in with that little beat crafsman

I hope the new K.O. II from Teenage Engineering for $300 will have the same capabilities. It's built-in sounds and 4 tracks are a plus. But I don't know about midi. Also, they have a couple of issues with the fader switch that hopefully gets fixed.

👌🏻

I love you craftman hopefully I made it to the first comment😂

I should really charge up my Ipad Version 1. I loaded it with some great music apps and got some pretty exotic music from it. (do I have the cable?) It won't work on the internet anymore, but that's fine.

there is worn out and there is your keyboard 🙂

Could you upload some of your music?

As the saying goes; If you play a wrong note, play it again and call it jazz.

If you like Loop artists you MUST check out Marc Rebillet! The loop daddy!

How exciting to have more opportunities to try new things with something you already have!

Man your voice sounds so different on these newer videos. The bass is more pronounced.

Started to sound very Q Lazzarus at the beginning there.

Crafman has all 99s and doesn't know it.

Your "magnet" note is the root note or root chord. This is the note that the other chords "resolve" back to.

@Lewiiiiiiiis

6 ай бұрын

Except in that case, it was actually the 5th, not the root. The note you're most likely to play just before you resolve back to the 1st/root.

You write music the same way Paul McCartney does…just saying.

Crafsman! I understand that it is your nature to be low-key and unassuming but saying that you're not a musician because you just listen to things and try to match it is like saying you're not an artist just because you look at things and try to match it. I have to point that out because I know you won't.

I'd like to respectively disagree with you. You ARE a musician :)
