How to create and edit BRSTM files. (NEW TOOL ADDED)

[HyperHoundoom]

Okay guys, listen up.

I've talked to Androu1 about this a few months ago. He said that all Brawl songs use 32000 Hz. While this does not automatically mean other sample rates won't work in the game, it's best to use 32000 Hz to avoid any sound problems. Androu1 already tried it with BRSTMs from other games that use higher sample rates, and he can confirm that it does give sound problems.

So, always change the rate to 32000 Hz for Brawl to make sure you won't get any sound issues.

I use Audacity, and Audacity reduces the pitch and speed of the audio when i change the rate, do i have to change velocity to return it to it's normal speed and pitch, or what??? Other Hertz Rates will cause that buzz even when I'm using Audacity????

 

[rPSIvysaur]

We should get Dantarion's and Bio Hedgy's BRSTM maker in here instead of Androu1's tool.

Edit: Wait a second, I thought I was in the texture/file replacement thread, sorry.

Set the speed to +38

 

[HyperHoundoom]

Set the speed to +38

Thanks a lot!!! I'll have to reupload my M&L3 Final Battle Remix, 'cause it was 44100 Hertz, and, while it could have worked with other games, it wouldn't work with Brawl.....

Is there a way to type in the sample numbers that are the loop beginning and end points, or can you only drag?

Also, how do you un-click play?

 

[Robin1613]

all i wanna know is how to make my volume louder not how to loop it tbh :/

You need a music editing software.

Highlight the bits you want to make louder and click amplify ...

I can't seem to find a solution to my problem.

I type "B" for stereo, then it reads: "type the name of the song without the extension:", so I type "R17" and it replies with "file not found".

Help?

 

[Isatis]

R17.brstm is in the "OriginalSongs" folder, right?

 

[* Duffy *]

Thanks very much, that really helped me understand it a lot easier. :D

 

[Spire]

Yessir. No idea why it isn't working.

 

[Isatis]

Other than renaming "OriginalSongs" to its lower case form ("originalsongs") which the program looks for, I have no idea.

I usually use either my own tool or Dantarion's tool for this.

 

[Spire]

Thanks dude. I'm just going to use Dantarion's tool instead.

EDIT: Of course it doesn't work for me either. If it means anything, I'm running Windows through parallels on a macbook.

EDIT 2: Nevermind, didn't have .NET Framework installed.

 

[ChuteTheMessenger]

Is the DL in the OP of Androu1's FateFinal tool?

 

[Brennus]

I cannot get this to work at all. I've followed all the instructions to the best of my ability but every time I try to play a song the system freezes completely. Do I HAVE to choose a number other than 0 for the start point? The sample rate is 32000 but when the program gets finished making the files, each song shows up as a 0kb size .brtsm file - as in a blank file! Why isn't it making the songs correctly? I do have troubles trying to save the edited .wav file with the same name - I hit Export as .wav and it asks me if I want to replace it, I hit yes and it says the disk is write-protected or full....but it's neither! What's going on here? Can the song only be so long? I don't understand why it isn't working ;_;

 

[Mr.Chuy]

For the full or write-protect thing just rename the .wav when you're exporting it and it should work

 

[Brennus]

That doesn't change the fact that it creates a 0kb file....

 

[darksamus77]

That doesn't change the fact that it creates a 0kb file....

Use BrawlBox to convert your BRSTM. Follow my guide to get whatever song you want as a BRSTM, it makes a good .wav, then you can convert easily...

Hello all I'm not usually in this part of the boards but im having a music hacking problem.

Ive been using the BRSTM Maker for a long time and ive never had any problems with it until now. The other day i added about 3 new songs to my sd card using the BRSTM maker and Audacity (like I always have) and about a minute into the new songs i would get VERY loud static noises. One of the 3 songs even caused crashing. I didnt do anything out side of the ordinary and i have no idea why this started happening. My previous songs still work just fine. Ive already checked the Sd card for errors AND defragged it and the problem hasnt changed. I have no idea what the problem is and i would very much appreciate assistance. thanks in advance

 

[GP&B]

So you already defragged...

My only other guess is to format it (after removing everything of course).

 

[sai_:)]

That was my next guess but I hope there's another answer

 

[Katy Parry]

I loaded mine on my wii and as soon as I choose the stage, it emits a high pitched noise (continous until i turn the wii off) and freezes. help?

 

[darksamus77]

Disable Custom Stages 1.1 needs to be in your GCT to override that. It's a code that prevents that from happening...

 

[Avalancer]

Does this NTSC code work on a PAL version & Wii too? :o

Make a backup for your SD files, then format the SD card. Apparently formatting will only work as another option to remove the loud noise; it helps. :/

When you have it backed up and try deleting all the files in your SD card, notice how when you check your SD card's properties, your SD card is not completely empty (although there are no files whatsoever in there) and there are a few KBs left in there. That's because when you delete a file, it leaves leftovers the file partly has. The more you delete and move a file, the more it fragments, mixing up all the leftovers it has causing a static-like noise.

The NTSC-U doesn't work on a PAL/JPN Wii for Brawl. If you have not already gotten the latest PAL code, use this:

Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to properly insert this code?

 

[JohnTravolski]

Three years late, but in case anybody cares:

As we know, BRSTMs (.brstm) are files that the Wii and other game systems use to LOOP music. I am trying to use this fact to achieve the following:
Basically, I need to come up with some way to massively export two files from one BRSTM file, because I’m going to be doing this with thousands of them. I need some kind of application that will do the following, in order:
1. Be able to read a BRSTM and use the loop points embedded into the file to achieve the following:
2. Export one wave file (.wav) that starts at 0 samples (or 0:00 in time) and ends at the end loop point (also known as the total number of samples, last sample before the song starts over again)
3. Export one wave file (.wav) that starts at the starting loop point (which usually isn’t 0 samples, for example, it might be 14336 samples or some other number) and ends at the same end loop point as mentioned above.
I could just cut off all of these points to make the files in Adobe Audition, but the problem is that I need to be able to do this for THOUSANDS of files, and doing it manually isn’t reasonable. Since these perfect loop point numbers are embedded into BRSTM files, I basically just need some application that can read these numbers and use them as references point to export the BRSTM music as two wave files, starting from 0:00 to the end loop point and one wave file starting from the start loop point to the end loop point.
Here’s an example of what I’m trying to accomplish:

As you can see from the picture, I have two files: Space Pirates Attack_01 and Space Pirates Attack_02. Looking, you can see that 01 is much longer and is different than 02; this is because it include the introduction, prelude, or whatever you want to call it, to the music that ISN’T included in the loop point. Then, where you see the white line, I have my second file, 02. This cuts off the intro and starts the start loop point, a number that is embedded into the BRSTM file. Then it ends at the same end loop point as 01, and the third file you see is 02 over again so that I can continually loop it. When I listened to it, it looped and played back flawlessly.
As you can see, this has massive benefits for me; I can extended music easily to whatever length I want without having to have 30 minute extended files for each (which is what I used to do by downloading the extended versions from YouTube). This saves file space, increases the quality, and offers more potential since I just have to copy and paste 02 over and over again to extend the music to whatever duration I want. The question is, how can I obtain these two files quickly and easily without have to go through and cut out at the sample times manually? I need to create some kind of application that can do that, since the start and end times for every BRSTM are different.
Does anybody have any ideas? If I can figure out how to do this automatically for many files at a time, this will have massive benefits for me.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

No offence, but why would you want to waste time copying the looped part over and over? Just set vgmstream to play 0 loops, then put the "Fade Delay" to whatever length you want it to.

 

[JohnTravolski]

To be honest, I have no idea what vgmstream is nor do I know what software you're using to accomplish that. If your idea involves creating a single output file at whatever length is specified, then the reason that I would use my above method is to save space on my SSD. I'm saying that I'd copy it over and over again in my linear video editor, which takes virtually no time at all (to me). I would do that method to extend music so that it matches any narration of mine at any length.

 

[FuzzyQuills]

Hi guys, having an issue here; I convert my song, but there's no "editedsongs" folder, there's instead a file called "editedsongs!" how the heck am I supposed to extract my BRSTM from that?!

EDIT: I sorta fixed my issue, but now the output file's blank... WTF?!
