The host is animated robot, \u201cNicky,\u201d an A.I. supercomputer awakened from the depths of a\u00a0Nickelodeon\u00a0basement to test the knowledge of NickToon superfans. While the players compete for a chance to win $1000, they answer increasingly specific questions. And if the players get a question wrong? No Nick show would be complete without an ample amount of slime. The network hired Flavorlab Sound to provide sound design and mix for the show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center>Working with producer, Mike Silvon, our engineers\u2019 main direction was to keep things consistent. The show being the ultimate nostalgia machine, it was important to maintain the warm and giddy atmosphere. From watching and reacting to clips, slamming a hand down on the buzzer, or of course, getting splashed with whatever Nick makes slime out of these days, episodes are riddled with sudden spikes in sound. As iconic as that green goop is, dumping a bucket of it on a contestant poses an issue. Where there\u2019s slime, there\u2019s slime everywhere, including on the mics! With a decent amount of EQ and general clean up, the team smoothed out those moments so the reactions of shocked children could be heard clearly and the drop still carried impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-i-always-wanted-to-be-on-a-show-like-this-when-i-was-young-so-working-on-it-as-an-adult-is-the-next-best-thing\" class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201cI always wanted to be on a show like this when I was young, so working on it as an adult is the next best thing.\u201d<\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"h-eric-stern-sound-engineer\" class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Eric Stern, sound engineer<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center>Most of the show\u2019s questions center around cartoons of the late 90s and 2000s. This means a number of our now-adult team experienced these moments as kids in real time. Viewing clips from 15 \u2013 20 years ago, Stern could recall many moments in detail which made him a real contender against the youngsters on the other side of the screen. \u201cYes, I was answering the questions out loud and talking along with the show while mixing alone. I would\u2019ve won a few episodes if I had the chance.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 id=\"h-test-your-cartoon-knowledge-check-out-tooned-in-here\" class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nick.com\/shows\/tooned-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TEST YOUR CARTOON KNOWLEDGE &amp; CHECK OUT\u00a0<em>TOONED IN<\/em>\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><\/center><\/center><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flavorlab Sound teamed up with Nickelodeon to provide mix for their new game show, Tooned In, quizzing kids on moments of cartoon past!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1085,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1121"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1122,"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1121\/revisions\/1122"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/work.creativamotions.com\/flavorlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
