Nick Gas Game show Themes

[PeterMarshallFan]

P.S. We all might want to wait a few hours before downloading that FK theme. That group's already over its bandwidth limit!

...shoot.

Sorry, guys, I had no idea that was gonna happen again. I think some of the stuff is pretty rare [Hollywood Connection, LMAD84 alt. open] and would be worth the wait, though. :-)

 To once again beat a dead horse, Yahoo groups are a garbage. Not dissing you, George, because the effort is greatly appreciated. This is just a rant against Yahoo groups and their fragile bandwidth limits.

Windows Sound Recorder can only make .wav files of up to 60 seconds in length.

I recommend "Audacity", which can record .wav, .mp3 and .ogg formats in any length you choose. And it's free. For details, see:

1. Record the TV to an audio tape recorder.
2. Play back the tape, holding up the mic to the speaker.
3. Save the .wav file.

 Your sound card has a line input. (Trust me on this. If it has a mic in, it should have a line in.) That means if your TV either has a headphone jack or RCA outputs on the back (and find me one that doesn't have one or the other), you are about $10-$15 worth of cabling and adapters, at most, away from running television audio directly into your PC.

It amuses me that I live in a society where complete idiots can rip MP3's but people can't figure out how to run a wire from an "out" to an "in".

As for Sound Recorder, you should be able to find a replacement for that that isn't nearly as crippled with about five minutes worth of work on Google.

Is your Finder's Keepers theme the same as this:

No, mine is the theme from the syndicated version with Toffler. That's the Eure version.

 I liked the original better anyway.  Is it just me, or has Edd Kalehoff felt a need to add a lot of Phil-Spector-like...sound to his late-80s themes (i.e. FK, Double Dare, Card Sharks, et al)?

TVs w/o RCA outputs and inputs made until about 10 years ago aren't that rare.   Mine has only coax input, so I just have to use my VCR for RCA outputs.

Anyways, if anybody's looking the right cable to send audio from TV-to-sound card, that wire is an RCA-to-1/8 stereo cable (also called RCA-to-3.5mm stereo cable).  These cables are sold at varying lengths.  Connect one end to the other, use your favorite audio recording program, and PRESTO!

I shake my head that not only do many people don't get the concept of connecting output to input, but many of these connectors and plugs are color coded to make things more idiot-proof and people are still mystified.  Now to find that 50 foot RCA A/V cable...

80tvthemes doesn't have any.

Thanks. [/quote]
80stvthemes.com has the Double Dare main theme from 1986, Obstacle Course music, and I think a piece used for Physical CHallenge. I haven't heard about themes from any other Nick shows being online. [/quote]
 Actually, the DD theme is from 1988.  The 1986 theme has some sort of synthesized organ instead of horns and has a more "80s"-ish sound.

Actually I perfered the Toffler theme than the eure theme, Liked the guitar riffs, added alot of spunk to the theme that I thought was lacking.

Anyone got the Get The Picture theme while we are at it? That I thought was the best of the nick game shows unless you consider the original WACK a game show.

I love this program; I use it for all of my audio editing needs.  It's a Hell of an audio editor.  Absolute best free open-source audio editor around; period.  Best thing since the Google Toolbar, if I had to say so myself.

 I don't know of that theme making the trading rounds. It was the first Nick game show theme not composed by Kalehoff, as it was composed by Dan Vitco, as per the show closing credits.

 Hey, this looks interesting. I'm a Goldwave man, myself, usually, but there are some things that Goldwave makes too hard, and this looks like it's very easy and intuitive. Thanks for posting this!
