Brawl Custom Music Hub: Archiving all the music in one place!

[PnFfan101]

What's wrong, Seg?

 

[Segtendo]

Nothing's wrong. It's just that no one else seems to be checking the pending BRSTMs on the site.

 

[PnFfan101]

Okay. Hey, could you add Donkey Kong Country 3 on the GBA to the queue?

 

[Segtendo]

Fine, but please don't constantly bug me about adding songs.

 

[PnFfan101]

Sorry. It's just that I haven't been seeing some of my favorite songs extended on YouTube. Like Pac-Man Party. There's one more request, but I don't know if you wanna do it. It's just two songs.

 

[Segtendo]

But I DID put up Pac-Man Party...

 

[PnFfan101]

I meant BEFORE you put up Pac-Man Party. I was wanting one more request, but it's OK if you don't wanna do it.

 

[Segtendo]

I'll add it, but again, don't constantly bug me about adding stuff. It gets annoying.

 

[PnFfan101]

Thanks. Here's my last request for a while: Dr. Mario Online Rx. By the way, it has two songs: Chill and Cough. Cough (Cube) being my favorite.

 

[Segtendo]

Find me a good Dr. Mario Online RX logo, cuz I can't find a good one.

 

[PnFfan101]

That's what I thought you would say. I don't have one so, you don't have to do it.

 

[Alaric Skywalker]

@PnFfan101

Still, that doesn't say that you can't help them find one. Keep your eyes open for one and the chances of them doing your requests might increase (assuming you don't ask them constantly like Cookie monster constantly asks for cookies).

 

[PnFfan101]

Actually, I found one while looking through Google's pics of the game, and I found a few that might be good.

 

[Segtendo]

I've found logos, but it's for the game in different regions.

 

[PnFfan101]

Could you still use one of them? Either the American or European logos will work.

 

[Alaric Skywalker]

Is there a way to set the coding to where it'll show a certain logo based on which region the person is accessing the site from? If so, we could do that for the logos (just suggesting an idea on how to put the logos on the site).

 

[PnFfan101]

I'm not sure myself. We'll have to ask.

 

[Segtendo]

I'd rather have a nice logo of the American name of the game.

 

[darksamus77]

Nice to see that BCM's back up. Sorry for my absence, but hopefully I won't have to worry about another one. If we're uploading to the site again, I guess that changes a few things. I have several soundtracks to upload...

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Once the uprising OST hits the internet I'ma loop the whole thing.

Just sayin'.

 

[Linkshot]

Less than three Dirt

The ones currently on BCM are *** quality.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

That makes no sense.

"Less than three"? What is that even responding to?

 

[darksamus77]

That makes no sense.

"Less than three"? What is that even responding to?

<3=heart=I love you (not literally of course)

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

I knew that <3 was a heart... I just don't see it written as "less than 3".

 

[Linkshot]

Before I edited it, "<3 Dirt" would've been <10

 

[LolCakeLazors]

Added some good rock/metal remixes by a Youtuber named TheDelRe, I need some feedback on the loops, they are all custom.

Sonic Adventure 2 - Metal Harbor

DuckTales - The Moon

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

I REALLY need to make some more BRSTMs...

There is one game I've been meaning to do, except for one problem.

Names.

The game is Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.

Obviously things like "Boss", and the world themes, "Rice Beach", "Mt. Teapot" (or "Mount Teapot"), as well as "Title", "File Select", etc, are easy, but the actual stage themes?
They can't just be "Stage Theme I", or "Stage Theme II" etc...
I could refer to them as the stages they are in, in terms of course, e.g. (not necessarily correct), "Courses 10, 13, 16, 18 and 20" .... again, those aren't necessarily correct, just an example.

But how do YOU think I should name the course themes?

 

[Segtendo]

I'd go the easy way and do "Stage Theme I" and such.

 

[Alaric Skywalker]

@TheUltimateKoopa

Also, TUK, let's not forget that Star Wars Battle For Naboo brstm you made me. If anything, since it is possible to do, if I can make a higher quality version of the one you've made (since A. you asked people to help find one, and B. I could possibly do it since I own the game), I can always edit it for you to save you the trouble. Besides, I think it'll be a good brstm to put on the site, as it's a very great theme. However, I won't force you to put it on if you don't want to. It's your call TUK.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

I'd go the easy way and do "Stage Theme I" and such.

But which should I call "Stage Theme I"?

The stage themes on the GBS rip are not in the same order as that in the game.

 

[Segtendo]

Hmm...
Maybe go in the order that they are in the GBS file?

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

I could name them something like:
"Stage Theme I (Courses 1, 2, 6.... etc)", or the same but with "Course" instead of "Stage", i.e. "Course Theme I (Courses 1, 2, 6... etc)"

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

Ah, ****.

Can someone tell me how the HELL I'm supposed to convert the GBS to WAV, if the stupid piece of **** doesn't tag properly?

I edited the M3U playlist in Notepad, so that it has actual names, yet it still has all the titles as the actual GBS file name.

This is what the text file for the M3U file says:

Yes, the GBS is called "Wario Land - Copy.gbs"

But when I play them in foobar2000, they're all listed as
Wario Land - Copy
Wario Land - Copy
Wario Land - Copy

Not only that, the length PLAYS for the length that I set them to play (as in the above, e.g. 1:37,,0:05 which means 1:37 + 5 second fade-out), yet it DISPLAYS as 5:10 for all of them.

In otherwords, what it SHOWS is just Wario Land - Copy (5:10) for all of them, but they PLAY for 2 loops + 5 second fade-out, as I set them....

And because of this, if I try and convert to WAV:
"The file Wario Land - Copy.wav already exists", etc.

It works OK in Winamp, i.e. displays the correct titles.

The only reason I use foobar2000 is because the GEP plug-in is better than NEZPlug++.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

Also, I've asked this before, but maybe someone actually has an answer.

So, let's say you have some music... and you then maximize the volume to the highest it can go without "clipping" or "distortion", i.e. "Amplify" in Audacity or "Max Volume" in GoldWave.

But.... here's the problem. It's STILL too quiet. Not just "slightly quiet", but "pathetically quiet".

If you used the original audio and made a BRSTM and played it in Brawl, it'd be almost non-existant. But if you amplify it to about 5-6 dB, and then make a BRSTM and play it in Brawl, it's STILL FAR too quiet.

Short answer... if a song is FAR, and I mean FAR too quiet even at "maximum amplitude", how in God's name do you make it actually sound louder, without distorting the sound?

How do you solve the problem of BRSTMs that are too quiet to even be worth actually using them as custom music in Brawl? Most SNES games for example, e.g. Yoshi's Island, DKC, probably Super Mario World, would have this problem... heck even a few N64 tracks, such as from Goldeneye have this problem.

The basic point of this post, is that after I've converted some file (SPC, USF, etc) to WAV...
The original WAV is too quiet.
After maximizing amplitude (even by as much as 6 dB or above) to the maximum (i.e. 0 dB) it's STILL too quiet.
Amplifying any higher causes it to clip.... but it's too quiet otherwise...

Segtendo? Ever wonder why I added DKC to the queue, but not DKC2 or DKC3? This is why. I've been trying literally since August 2010 when I first joined BCM, to make BRSTMs from these games. The only way I've done them is by butchering the sound quality, by repetitively cutting peaks, and stuff.... but as I said, it butchers the quality.
Compression and crap, doesn't really do anything. I'd rather have "louder with good quality" than "make everything flat, and sound like you're holding a paper cup to your ears, or your ears are full of mud of something".

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

*ugh*

I hate Mondays. Everyone's at school, and therefore, no one replies for a week.

Also.... what the heck's with the Slow Poke thing?

 

[Alaric Skywalker]

@TheUltimateKoopa

I'm with you there about Mondays and school. However, we have to give school some credit, for without it, the site, the brstms, even these forums wouldn't exist today.

Also, about the slowpoke thing,..., I was wondering the same thing. I almost wonder if it was either meant to be a way to see if we'd like a new background for the forums or simply a late April Fools joke.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

A VERY late April Fools joke.

Also, ... Smash World is being sold? The topic was posted at what would have been 1 am this morning Eastern Time (or 5 am in the UK).... which means that, it can't be an April Fools' joke, since technically, for some (e.g. the UK), April Fool's Day ended over 28 hours ago.

 

[Segtendo]

A VERY late April Fools joke.

You could say that again...

 

[Linkshot]

I'm ashamed at both of your comprehension skills.
Of course it's an April Fools joke. It's the best this year.

 

[standardtoaster]

It's meant as a joke. It's a play on the slowpoke meme. All of the announcements are on subjects that are many years old.
