also heres a link to a pack of joel valentine sfx I put together, may be a little outdated but it's a start - www.dropbox.com/sh/mioekz4ho9... - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
jesus! this is such a strong first video, im floored by how tight it is on all fronts. kicking myself for not getting to it sooner
wdym first video, there's another real gem right before this one
the mixing is horrible what do u mean
15:59 The Boom-womp (Goom-wah or Low Bork) sound effect was literally used by Valentine because I heard one in Wander Over Yonder, especially the episode "The Family Reunion."
That was an impressive documentary about the man with his power-puffin punch pack of distinct sound cartooning.
And not to mentioned, he also worked on Minky Momo English Dub, Mario Super Show and Jay Jay the Jetplane, an infamous PBS Kids show. Also talking of Jeff, he has a few of Joel SFX to put on certain shows since 3rd season of Dexter’s Lab. I’ve heard the swish sound in a kangaroo jumping meme of Squidward kicking out any character out.
I'd like to give thanks for using my fan works for this video like my SFX Album cover and a WOMBO COMBO meme, I'm glad you appreciated it.
P.S. I see TwinBee and WinBee in the intro.
as a devo fan, hearing "that's pep" gave me whiplash
rad fuckin video!
12:17 i need to hear the whole episode like this now
Him and the crew at Hacienda Post both have a great library of sound effects.
Oh and don't forget. This guy's sound effects were very impactful for Cartoon Network as its studio division slowly began using his sound effects, alongside the Hacienda Post sounds, more often starting with Whatever Happened to Robot Jones up until The Cartoonstitue, as well as OK K.O.!: Let's Be Heroes. The shows created by Maxwell Atoms, Camp Lazlo and the action-oriented series were expections, though. The most common sound effect used was the "swish".
Funny enough, Joel Valentine's sound effects were later heard in some indie animated series, like Pencilmation.
Even Sam Raimi influenced Tartakovsky and McCracken, Sam was a best known director for the Spider-Man Movie trilogy.
Holy moly hearing Olivia Tremor Control in a video in 2023 blew my mind. Great taste.
This video is super fucking inspiring and cool; you really shed a light on a topic that SUPER deserves more attention, and made me remember just how valuable a unique sound design identity is to a piece of media. Please make more stuff, I will be here for it!
13:44 That Joel Sword Beam sound is reused in Dexter's Lab too! Whether it's for the laser pen in "The Bus Boy" and the Laminatrix machine in "Dexter is Dirty."
why hasn't this blown up
i always dug the sound design in those cartoons. Hanna barbanime is a really great way to describe it. That explosion sounds at the start of the body swap episode in PPG stuck with me for some reason.
I also really think ed edd n eddy sounds are really good. The way they use random sound effects and the way they combine them is really clever. The way they combine impact sounds with animal noises and car horns is really great. It also helps that they don't really use common stock cartoon sounds. They give EEnE a unique identity. That yodel sound, la curacha horn, and the sumo sounds are iconic. I had to do a double take when I heard the yodel sound in Nozaki Kun.
As soon as someone dropped a zip of sounds I put eene sounds on The Raid.
One of the recontextualising I noticed in these cartoons is using a sound that would originally be used for cold chattering and instead use it for frustrated vibrating hands
This video was so good geno!!!! it's so well organized, punched up, edited, and just plain informative and interesting, like damn these sound effects are so engrained in my memory but i've never really stopped to think about how they were made/selected or how they went on to influence the sensibilities of shows that came after! it's so crazy that he worked on redubbing sfx for anime... ive always wondered about that whole phenomenon and its so neat to think that maybe that influenced his other sound effects... i also loved the parallels you drew to sfx with music production, very clever!!! great work all around!!
Joel Valentine SFX is My personal favorite in history. I remember MinMin with Joel (CartoonsSoundEffects) and Game Tengoku with Joel Valentine by Mamon Star was a great time early 2020's. But i herad explosion sfx remaster when never appear in TH-cam and Wiki SFX unfortunately about your file pack in Dropbox because was deleted of today.
oh sorry about the file pack, I was having some trouble with dropbox over the past couple days. it should be back up now though. But yeah there's more than a few sound effects in that pack that I literally sampled myself, and I did a few variations on the explosion sound effect. I seem to remember I made one of them by taking two different instances of it and crossfading them together to block out other sound effects. There's also a lot missing from it I think, at some point there should be some kind of standard soundpack that has all of em
@@geno7_ Allright! Thanks for fix. Now i'm so much better to get explosion. Thank you! 😊👍
really appreciate the likening of digital sampling to crate digging. i've always used the phrase "digital crate digging" to describe this phenomenon of digging thru massive digital libraries and directories for rare tunes for DJing, or obscure sounds for music production. i think there's an art to combing thru material for something that is special and/or can be recontextualized for special purposes. and to cap it off w that clip of j rocc digging thru dilla's storage unit just killed me 😙👌 beautifully done all around
Instant like for the subject matter and subscripton for the humor & editing! Amazing video
Ooh, "recondite"

It is about time someone gave this audio savant his credits due.
The combinations of distinct samples and libraries used; and the "crisp" timing and careful amount the scenes called for, made his career what it is.
Without him, many of the shows he worked on would not have been remotely the same.
~ Would kill to get my hands on the stuff he used, - Josh Hutcherson's too (And the invader zim sound guy).
Not going to mention his work for Harmony gold?, or the fact that he got all his anime sound effects from macross when working on Robotech, And relied on his “Frankenstein library “up until the late ‘00. Head Sample whatever he could grab from the music and effects truck from Macross and other anime that harmony gold dubbed. Anime sound effects were being used within the industry starting around 1984 because of the sound editors for Voltron, as their library of effects that were ripped from golion and dairugger Made their way out into shows like DC’s superpowers Show, gobots. And they eventually find their way into the hands of Marvel productions who would then intern use them on like season three of transformers, visionaries and so on. Joel had access to those as well, he’s essentially a western sound design pioneer, and probably a large reason why a lot of Americans are familiar with Japanese sound design
this fucks dude, really well done. I can't wait to see what you're gonna do in the future. One tiny little bit of critique though, it sounds like you've got some slight static in the narration track, could be the volume compression or maybe just your recording environment. Its mostly noticable in the opening of the video. Still though, glad to be subscriber 25 lmao.
yeah I gotta turn my fan off next time lol
I made all with my sick Shelly cartoon sound effect
As soon as you said Joel Valentine, I perked up remembering his work on Primal. His sound design credit is one of those credits that are front and center in the intro credits to that show. Knowing that he has been working with Tartakovsky and McCracken since the 90s made me respect that name so much more.
The title had my interest, but now the video has my attention!
seeing the clip of the wombo combo clip but with joel valentine/PPG-style SFX now makes me want a brawler or a fighting game with that exact style
Such a good call using artists that worked on Heroes & Villains as background music on this! Learned so much, great work.
This is a strange and nourishing channel, of the sort I wish I encounter more frequently. I've watched the Wario Land 4 video and this, and loved them both. I might watch a few more. 👍
I always thought the CN sound came from the genius of Tartakovski, since he's got credits all over the departments that form animation, including sound. And Samurai Jack was the Tartakovskiest of his work and the sound designed was excellent, I thought 'no way he didn't have a major hand in this'. Perhaps he's a good all around director that respects sound and got to work with a talented person he vibed with.
I just wanna know what's in his library.
Anime sound effects aren't given the luxury of being bought out and hosted under one roof like Sound Ideas did with their old competitor The Hollywood Edge.
I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for Japanese sound effects libraries, much less the golden oldies Valentine has his hands on.
I LOVE THE OPENING THEME SONG FOR THIS VIDEO ESSAY. Self-deprecation, but in a very high quality, DIY style. It always gets me hyped for whatever topic you're about to talk about. Great Channel; you're going places, I can tell.
You're helping me rediscover what made my childhood influences what they are. Amazing!
This was incredible! I love your channel.
I wish that I found your channel three years from now so I could binge it all until my brain went squishy. Keep it up.
ohhh my god, i can't thank you enough for the sfx pack in the description
Bro, nice work, man! Definitely got a new subscriber here!
When I start an animation studio, I want Valentine to be my sound designer.
Shonen knife is in the video i can trust you in everything.
I came here from the Wario Video. I was trying to figure out what it is I like so much, andI thought "Wow the unique and personal feeling this guy puts into his script. It makes me feel the same as Hazel's videos." Lo and behold, she's in the comments.
I grew up in the 90's you just had to be there I miss when Moltar hosted Toonami but Tom was awesome too
Extremely underrated channel, will inevitably explode in popularity when the algorithm gets a bug up its ass one day
i am so happy u played a danger doom song :))). one of the best colaborative things ever :))
Dude! Can you make a video like this but on Ed, Edd n' Eddy's sound effects? That would be legendary mate
Rad choice of Devo song! Great video!
absolutely wicked video. a cut above
I can't believe you'd just go and post a picture of Joel Valentine like that. Where'd you even find it?
Loved the video.
Random question:
Based on your knowledge and findings (because I never knew WB sounds were accessible). Do you know what sound libraries some popular anime uses for their sound fx?
As far as i know, older anime like City Hunter and Pokemon use the sound library from Fizz Sound Creations.
@@diegosahdo2818 Thank you brother !
Hey Geno7! Just wanna say immediately I’ve been loving your work! You’ve legit become one of my favorite content creators on this site! (Along with Mikasacus and Leadhead) anyways I usually don’t like recommending video ideas to TH-camrs but I’d love for you (if you’d like to of course) make a video of SugarPlastic! I found their music from this video and I love so far and I think makin a video about them and showing it to more people sense they seem to be super underrated. But I’ll stop taking your time, if you do read this comment thank so very much! Keep up the great work Geno 🤟 Bye bye Nighty night!
Dude you’re goated
I wish these sounds were used for My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
Yeah. But unfortunately, while the show had some American crew members, it was mostly done in Canada.
@@kootunesscrewy Hey, most of the mlp gen 4 voice actors dubbed powerpuff girls Z.
YEEEAAAAA DEVOOOOOO
Your videos are good.
Dude your videos fucking rule
