Print Page - Ulala's Swingin' BRSTM Tutorial (Song ID List Included~)

I've been thinking for awhile on whether I should write a tutorial or not, and I'm deciding to give it a shot, considering I use a simpler method (at least, I think so...) Anyway, here's hoping my tutorial will actually be of some use to newer members ;)

Tools You'll Need

- BrawlBox v0.63d (for creating and looping your BRSTM files)

- YouTube video downloader (Optional) . This will make it simpler to get an MP3 you might want that you can't find anywhere else. I would provide a link to the site I use, but that may be seen as advertising O.o

- Format Factory: This program is the one I use for converting ALL my files. It's free, simple to use, and has a lot of helpful features. The download will be posted near the end of the tutorial, so you won't have to look around for it ;)

Now, on to the actual tutorial...

Step 1: First off, you'll obviously need a song you want to insert into Brawl. Find it through whatever method you prefer, and take note that it CAN be in any format for now. MP3, .WAV, any file extension will do.

Step 2: After finding the song you want, you'll need to use Format Factory to convert your file into a .wav file. To do this, open up Format Factory, click the Audio tab on the left side of the application, and find the "All to wav" option. Picture below:

Step 3: Once you click on that, another window should pop up with options such as "Output Setting" and "Add File". Now, this is where you can edit your file to your liking. For example, if the song you found was too low in volume, you can increase it by clicking "Output Setting", and increasing the volume control (the default will be 100%). Once the settings are okay to you, click "add file", and find your music file(s). Once they're displayed on the FF List, click OK to bring you back to the main menu. The songs you want to convert, ALONG with the convert status should all be displayed there. If everything's to your liking, then click "Start". The files will be converted and sent to your "FFOutput folder". This can be setup to wherever you want (mine, for example is Documents/FFOutput). Again, a reference pic is below.

Step 4: With your newly converted .wav files in your FFOutput folder, open up BrawlBox. Then, it's simple. Hit File > New > BRSTM Audio Stream. Find your desired .wav file, and double click to open it in BrawlBox. From here on, it's all a matter of preference. If you want your song to loop, you'll need to edit the bars so that the song contains a good loop point (it sounds complex, but after a few minutes, you should get a good idea of what to do). The yellow bar tells determines which part of the song will play after it loops, while the red bar determines WHERE to loop the song. It's a lot easier when you try it yourself, though, so don't worry :3

Step 5: After the song sounds good to you, click "Okay", which will take you back to BrawlBox's main menu. Then go to File and Save As. Make sure to save the file as a .brstm, and if you want, test it out in-game. You've created your first BRSTM!

And that basically concludes the tutorial~ If you have any other questions, please ask them here. If you feel my tutorial needs to be a bit clearer, don't hesitate to tell me ;3 This IS my first tutorial, and I doubt that I made it perfectly understandable. Also, below is the download link to Format Factory for those that want to use it.

For those that need it, I'm also including a list of every song ID in Brawl. Just name your BRSTM to the following to replace that particular song~
