Help with Ren & Stimpy reboot
« on: February 13, 2026, 05:38:16 AM »
I've just finished doing music breakdowns for the still-unaired-as-of-yet Ren & Stimpy reboot (I was planning on waiting until it officially came out, but that's looking increasingly unlikely to happen and I figured I might as well do it as long as the episodes are out there): renandstimpymusic.com/comedy-central-series

Putting these together was both easier and harder than it was for the original show and Adult Party Cartoon. On the one hand, AHA Music Identifier was a huge help (meaning there was less of a need to go searching for tracks manually) but on the other hand, the reboot uses music from far more sources than the original show or APC ever did - besides the usual suspects (APM and CPM), there's also BMG Production Music, Sound Ideas, Audio Network, AudioSparx, Cavendish Music, Extreme Music, West One Music, and at least twelve other libraries, plus a few tracks that don't even seem to be library music. It's a huge mess to keep track of, and was part of the reason I eventually quit doing this for SpongeBob. Thankfully, this was less daunting due to being only ten episodes, whereas SpongeBob is still ongoing with no end in sight.

I'm not going to provide links to the full episodes, but I've made dialogue-free audio samples of the tracks I couldn't identify, which I've collected in a Google document (note that some of these are very short and a couple were hard to get clean samples of, so they may be a bit difficult to make out): docs.google.com/document/d/1DP9GXpfDKU3UFuC5O-HOWWLQ9K0VMYOowqrXucN20tU

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bumping to mention that I've identified some new tracks since I originally posted this, including a bunch from Sound Ideas (from what I can tell, almost any music that plays on a TV or radio in the reboot tends to be from there). I've also discovered that many of the libraries used for the reboot are available on protunes.com, so it may be a good idea to try searching that site. (The sound editor for the reboot was Michael Kohler of Bluetube, in case anyone wants to try contacting him - I'm hesitant to do it myself due to the reboot still not being officially out yet)
