Background music and audio analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

[Original Raw and Uncut]

This topic is a sequel to the other topic I made analyzing the shows art, here we're gonna discuss the evolution of the audio and music in Spongebob, and various other shows

 

[EM.]

omg yes, let's hope this topic catches on the way the last one did

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Ever notice how the characters tend to have more natural sounding dialogue in earlier seasons, as opposed to everything sounding slow and forced like it does now

I've notice that the early seasons of Adventure Time have more peppy and intense music, while the later seasons have subdued music

 

[EM.]

Also the earlier seasons of FOP and season 1 of Johnny Test have a variety of soundtrack, whereas modern FOP (i think season 8-10) and seasons 2-6 of Johnny Test cycle through the same cues

Regular Show rarely has any background music at all

I've noticed pre-movie episodes of Spongebob have better editing, newer episodes have poor background music choices, music that cuts off at improper times, to the point where it can make specific scenes cringe inducing

Ego Plum, while a good composer, is one of if not the the worst editors

Weird how the pre-movie episodes have way better editing and sound effects, yet, they're using equipment that's privative compared to what we have today. Season 1 wasn't even digitally edited, they used flatbeds.

The early episodes of The FairlyOddParents are just like Spongebob, they had better editing, less music, and more toned down voice acting, and less screaming.

Same with Johnny Test

Season 1 of Johnny Test had classical music, the flash seasons had rock music only

Season 1 had rock

Season 1 had rock

Season 1 had a blend of both rock and classic

Music is another thing I find Johnny Test and The Fairly OddParents to have in common, in earlier episodes they each have a variety of a soundtrack, then later they cycle through the same music cues.

 

[EM.]

I wish Guy Moon would release the soundtrack for the Fairly OddParents or Danny Phantom one day, just like Kevin Manthei did for Johnny Test Season 1

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

I wish someone released the soundtrack for Dexter's Lab. It seems like Spongebob is the only show where the art syle and music is talked about, everything else is ignored

There's a soundtrack for Johnny Test season 1, where can I find this?

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

There are some soundtracks that would sound weird if they were in season 1, because they do not go well with the cel animation

There's a soundtrack for Johnny Test season 1, where can I find this?

It was on his website since I believe 2009, and unfortunately he took it down at the beginning of this year, I could only save two of them, I did send him an email about it however and he said he might put it back up as Johnny Test is still popular, but that was at least a month ago, hopefully he will put it back up.
