Because the Rigdio page on the wiki is still hilariously out of date here's a quick primer on using Rigdio chants.

Quick and Dirty

• Chants can play for at most twenty seconds (this value can be adjusted by the streamer). Chants which are longer than the limit will be cut off.
• Add chants by using the rigdio keyword chant instead of a player name in your .4ccm. If you're using rigDJ, just add "chant" as a player for now. Order and conditions don't matter for chants.
• The streamer determines how many chants per team play in a match, but by default rigdio will not play the same chant twice in a row.
• To greatly simplify things for the streamer, chants should be processed with riglevel (see below). If your computer is a potato and you can't run riglevel, let someone know.
• Chants, like all aesthetics, must obey the rules of the streaming platform.

Adding Chants to your Audio Export

In your team's .4ccm file, any line which starts with chant will be added to your team's set of chants. As of rigdio 1.9, chants do not support conditions, and are not ordered. To add a chant to your audio export, simply add the chant file, such as myteam-chant1.mp3 to the folder, and add the line

chant;myteam-chant1.mp3

to the .4ccm. The streamer's rigdio settings determine how many chants play in a match; there is a setting that disables playing duplicate chants in the same match, so at least two chants are encouraged.

Normalising Chant Audio

rigdio 1.9 will include a new file, riglevel.7z. (For now, you can download riglevel from this MEGA link.)

In the future, this will be an automatic feature of rigDJ when preparing audio exports, but I live in a twenty-four-hour garbage incineration facility so that probably won't be ready for winter. riglevel ensures that all chants have the same peak volume; this means streamers won't have to fuck around with audio settings for each individual chant.

To use riglevel, make sure you're on a 64-bit computer (no, I'm not going to cross-compile a 32-bit version), extract the .7z file, and drag and drop your chants onto riglevel.exe. This will create a folder named riglevel_out in the same directory as the input files, containing normalised copies of each of your files. Include the normalised copies in your submitted export, not the originals! (You may wish to retain the originals for audio-quality purposes.)
