How to Adjust Volume Levels using MP3Gain
This is useful if you like to adjust the volume level of your tracks. I put all the songs at 102-103DB. This is a setting that generally works well when the songs are transferred to the video game.

Here is a tool that I use to do this. The program is called MP3Gain It's free on their site and it's completely safe. This is what I use to increase the volume levels of multiple song clips. It's really easy to use and the reason I want you guys to use it is because it saves me time. This way you can just download my files at my custom DB levels (Usually 102-103DB) and then if you want to adjust you can just use this program.

Part 1: Break-in-Play Tunes

What are break in play tunes?
These are basically the songs the NHL arenas play in between whistles. This normally occurs before a faceoff. I included a good variety of break in play tunes. 512 clips to be exact. Most of them are new songs that were not in my old NHL 11 pack.

Part 2: Intermission

What are intermission tunes?
Intermission tunes are song clips that are played in between periods. When playing an OTP/EASHL games the break can last up to 90 seconds at times so having these clips helps simulate the music played during NHL intermission. These are useful in all game modes though. There are 512 clips at 90 seconds each. I split this into 3 downloads since the whole thing is 1.35GB. Each file below is about 450MB each.

Part 3: Organ

What are organ tunes?
Organ tunes have many uses. You can make a playlist and combine them with the break in play tunes. You can just choose to only use organ tunes. You can apply team specific organ tunes to the teams who have it. It's really all up to you on how you want to customize your music experience in NHL 12.

Part 4, 5, and 6: NHL, AHL, and CHL Goal Pack

What are Goal Horns and Songs?
If you do not like the games default horn AND song
What I usually do is when the goal horn doesn't sound right in the game I use the GHS (goal horn song). This clip contains a custom horn and song together. I insert that in the horn slot and then disable the default song slot. The end result is that the custom goal horn song clip plays all the way through.

If you like default horns but want custom songs
You can also ONLY use the song. If you like the games default horn all you would have to do is just take the song clip and put it in the song slot.

How to put goal horns/songs on your Playstation 3

*You will need a program called WinRar. To download this, go to this link http://www.rarlab.com/ and scroll down until you see the 3.93 release. Download in the language you want (English for most).

*You need a USB flash drive or CD's.

1. Click on my link and download the folder you want.
2. Once they are downloaded, open each folder SEPARATELY with Winrar.
3. Once the folder is open in WinRar, click on "WIZARD" to "unpack" the files to your desktop.
4. Transfer the new folder that is on your desktop to your USB flash drive or CD.
5. Insert the CD or flash drive into your system.
6. Go to the "music" section on your XMB menu. Go up to your flash drive and hit the "triangle" button and click "display all"
7. You should now see your folders
8. Copy these folders to your PS3 Hard drive.
9. Once they are copied, go to the music section on your XMB, and sort the music by ALBUM.
10. The folders should be at the top and should read 0_HMP_folder name.

11. For Intermission, BIP, and any other generic songs, you can apply these to ALL the teams (not individually like the horns/goal songs) To do this, simply sort by album, find the folder, and create a playlist for the whole folder. Then apply this to all the teams in the league for that category (there is a apply all option in NHL 11)

12. For individual stuff like goal horns or intros, go into the folder. For each teams clip, create a playlist. If your team has multiple clips then put them all into the 1 playlist if you so choose. For example if there are more than 1 goal horn in a playlist, then the game will play them randomly for your team when they score.

13. Once you have created every playlists, start up your NHL 11 game.
14. Go to the menus and find the custom music sections.

Part 7: Powerplay

What did I do with the powerplay songs?
This year I tried to do the Powerplay songs with the NHL teams. They are NOT all accurate. Some of them have filler songs placed in. I tried to get as many as I could accurate.

Part 8: NHL Home Intros

What did I do with the powerplay songs?
NHL Intros only. I made various forms of intros. Some intros have horns and some don't. Some teams have a couple intros from past and some have the PA announcer. There are over 100 intros for the 31 teams so each team has a 2-3 intros that should fit your needs. Hope you like em.

Re: NHL 12 Sound Pack

I sure hope there's an easier method of adding these sounds to the game next year.

I thought it was already pretty easy. My only issue is when streaming the playlists from your PC, In NHL it takes 5-10 secs to load the first 10 playlists to choose from then when you move onto the next page of playlists it take 20+ secs. So imagine doing the playlists for teams in the middle of the alphabetical order, takes a minute or two just to add the goal song for say New Jersey. I wish it was like MLB 2k11 where all the playlists are loaded on screen at once in less than 5 secs.

I agree with your thoughts about how MLB 2k11 does it. Way quicker, way easier. It'd be nice if on the 360 you could just save the music files on a flash drive and transfer them that way too.

Re: NHL 12 Sound Pack

First off I just wanna say that I'm looking forward to the release of the sound pack, and appreciate the work you guys do. I also have two requests
1. Have Team Specific Powerplay sounds
2. Have the Hit songs from this summer like tonight tonight by hot chelle rae, party rock anthem, etc.. past packs have not have sounds like these and you know that arenas play songs like these for the fans.

Yes, there is about 500 new off-play songs and Party Rock Anthem is one of them. There is also 500 new Intermission songs and they are 90 seconds this instead of 60. Tonight tonight is one of the intermission songs I believe.

As far as Powerplay team specific songs go, I do have them but it's not a guarantee that ALL of them will be 100% accurate.

I am trying to have a little more team stuff this year and I am adding a lot of organ as well.

Re: NHL 12 Sound Pack

Re: NHL 12 Sound Pack

Do you guys want to fill me in on what this is/how to do it?

From what I understand it's songs that play in the arena during gameplay, like before a PP, intermission, plus team specific goal horns, stuff like that?
