You can't unpack official DLCs, only customs (.DAT and .psarc extensions)

Is there no 1 that can help me with this?

I'd like to know too.  There are a few customs that need a little tweaking.  I like to have my part stand out a little above the music.  I think its the custom tone that needs a volume lift in these cases?  Just need to know what program to use.

Use the latest custom song creator toolkit here: http://www.rscustom.net/

 

In the first tab (Creator) click IMPORT at the bottom.  Double click the psarc file, and press enter one more time.  It will create a folder on your desktop (if that's the directory chosen before you pressed enter).  You can delete that folder when everything is done.

In the SONG INFORMATION section there is a volume box.  If you want to make the song volume louder, make the value closer to 0.  (-5 is really loud, -8 is normal, -11 is very quiet )

 

If the song volume is fine and you want to make the guitar louder/softer, double click the tone(s) in the TONES section.  You can change the guitar volume here, but closer to 0 is quiet (-13 is very quiet, 22 is normal, 30 is really loud).

 

When you're done, press GENERATE and it'll spit out a psarc file again if PC is checked in the PLATFORM area.  If you get an error, make sure you uncheck Mac/XBOX,PS3, unless that's the format you want.

Also, those numbers I used were just examples.  You'll have to fiddle with it to get what you want.

You, Sir or Madam, are a gem!!

 

Thanks a heap Rockfirstlast.  I was slowly reading through the forums trying to figure it out.  You've just saved me a bunch of time and gotten straight to the answer.  Jeez I love this community.

You guys don't know about tone volume.

Its kinda wave function graphic,

it goes low from 0 to -10 and rises from -10 to -20 and goes low again from -20 to -30

Be careful, take care :)

Thanks.  I remember you posted a graph a while back but I never understood what it meant.

 

So after -20 the volume gets lower again?  -20 is a peak?

I think you can go further till 100 (its a limit in RSToolkit) and experiment with it, for me -36 or similar values are odd, I never go after -30. I have all that I need, but some RS tones had -36 and similar variations, as in RS1 and in RS2014, hope they got strong reasons to do so :)If you find what this multiplication does(-10 -20 -30 -40 etc) - let me know :)
