Thanks for watching! We've only just scratched the surface of Animal Crossing sound design. Let me know what other sound/music topics you want me to cover.
Also, if you have any specific sound design questions, happy to chat below!

Great video - good pacing. I think another aspect of what makes animal crossing sound good is the weather. I've always loves the sounds of wind, and rain, and of course the insects in summer

[@yuuutaendo]

Appreciate it. Yes, they add so much to the experience!

[@BlackAera]

That was the most straight to the point, very fun to watch and super interesting video I have seen in months. Can you... like... do it some more?

[@yuuutaendo]

Yes, looking forward to making more :)

[@mitsuki1388]

I was skeptical I'd learn anything in 2 minutes... turns out I learned more than a lot of 22 minutes videos somehow

[@feerfree8986]

If you're the one talking about this, I'm all ear. love your work Yuta!

[@feerfree8986]

finished watching, Sick, I want more.

[@yuuutaendo]

@@feerfree8986 thank you! Yes, looking forward to making more.

[@momuboru]

dude im gonna be completly honest with you.. you're a fucking mass ball of good content on youtube
i hope you never stop making videos and get more views because holy shit you do deserve it

[@yuuutaendo]

Appreciate it :)

[@cassie.zuo25]

The editing for this video is so cool

[@MarcoLongoMusic]

Very nice channel! Also I suggest to put some subtle randomization on volume and filter frequency automations. You could that during implementation, but I think it’s worth mentioning it

[@byMasip19]

your channel is gold

[@esuelle]

Very pleasant (joyful!) and informative video. Thanks for making it. Also a nice surprise of the Yt algorithm to suggest it.

[@yuuutaendo]

Ah glad you enjoyed. Thanks for checking it out :)

[@mmmmm28]

Just discovered you and it's already my favorite channel

Love your work, Yuta! Would love to see more synthesis and sound design tutorials 💜🙏🏻

[@yuuutaendo]

thank you! Yes would love to continue.

[@Freezenification]

Great little video! Love that it's short and to the point while packing in lots of info. 🙏

[@yuuutaendo]

Thanks! Yes, trying to find a balance between analysis and "doing" in a small package. Still figuring it out.

[@Freezenification]

@@yuuutaendo Very good balance here I'd say, but that's just one man's opinion!

[@yuuutaendo]

@@Freezenification thanks!!

[@theflameviper2154]

Hell yeah, I've been waiting for some more videos on ACNH's sound design

[@yuuutaendo]

ah thanks! Animal Crossing's sound design in general is so good

[@reecord2]

ok I love this channel

[@yuuutaendo]

thank you thank you!

[@mangc_hing]

Please make a video on the glitchy synths patches you make, they are really unique

[@yuuutaendo]

yes, that's on my list to do!

[@mangc_hing]

@@yuuutaendo TQ very much I've been watching your videos and I'm amazed by the sound design on them, you are very skilled sir

Ha, YT algorithm strikes again. And thanks for watching/listening!

[@GrvMUSIC4U]

More of these sound design videos please

[@yuuutaendo]

Thank you! Yes, more on the Horizon

[@pigeonplaysguitar]

Cool

[@yuuutaendo]

thank you thank you

[@spceboi]

wish you should how you did those sounds at the end

[@yuuutaendo]

yes details probably could've been interesting. But mostly similar ideas and principles as the synth + water droplet demos

[@pwnomega4562]

what sound software are you using in the video?

[@yuuutaendo]

Ableton :)

[@Debora_02]

sorry, what kind app that you used?

[@yuuutaendo]

Ableton :)

[@zerkorj]

Really good video but I think Animal Crossing in an example of sh*tty ui and ux design (except for sound), sound only not the repetitive music.

[@zitronekoma30]

sigh sill hoping to find an unlikely person on ebay who doesn't know that they're making a huge mistake selling a matriarch for 50 bucks :|

[@brambleblaster]

Woah. This is brilliant.
