I was hoping to add a Bank Loader component to a prefab and preload sample data on the loader.

Will this cause any issues with the samples/events being loaded into memory multiple times if the prefab gets added to a scene more than once? Does FMOD check to see if the bank is already loaded first or should I be going about this a different way?

Thanks!

The RuntimeManager will catch any extra calls to load the bank if it has already loaded.

Awesome, thank you for the clarification. 🙂
