##### How to use[#](#md-how-to-use)

1. Once the DLL and folder is in your Mods folder, open up the "LoadingScreenMusic" folder.
2. Inside the folder, (where the manifest file is visible) there is an Audios folder.
3. Inside the Audios folder, drop any of your audio files (.mp3, .wav).
4. Start Sons and open the Mods tab and click on LoadScreenMusic settings.
5. Enter the exact file name of your .mp3 or .wav into either Menu audio or Loading audio (make sure to include the file type in the name e.g myfile.mp3).
6. Restart Sons and the music should play

   (OPTIONAL) To get rid of the original theme playing for the first couple seconds, go to muted\_sounds in \_RedLoader.cfg (Game folder -\> UserData -\> \_RedLoader.cfg).
   Enter in this value and save:

   muted\_sounds = \[ "event:/SotF\_Music/mx\_endnightsting", "event:/SotF\_Music/Main Theme/Main\_Theme" \]
