History
I Built the Craziest LED Mask
White Bat Audio received credit for providing the background music throughout this episode, which documented Sean's creation of a 2960-LED mask made from PCB panels. The music selection from White Bat Audio accompanied the technical demonstrations, construction process, and final reveal of the LED mask project. The credit was given in both the video description and the episode itself, specifically noting the music as being "by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio" with the clarification "(except for the credits song)" to indicate the scope of White Bat Audio's contribution to the episode's soundtrack.
Episode: "Step 1: Buy a CNC Machine"
White Bat Audio received standard credit for providing the music in this episode. During the outro segment, Sean Hodgins acknowledged the music source with characteristic brevity: "Did you like the music? It's by White Bad Audio, but you knew that already." The casual phrasing—particularly "but you knew that already"—reinforced the established pattern of White Bat Audio serving as Sean's regular music collaborator, someone his audience would recognize from previous videos.
The video description provided fuller attribution, crediting "Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio," maintaining the consistent connection between Karl Casey and the White Bat Audio brand. The acknowledgment was presented as routine attribution rather than featured commentary, with no specific discussion of the music's style, quality, or how it enhanced the video content.
